The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the past four quarters and missing in one, delivering an average surprise of 12.7%.
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
The consensus estimate for revenues in the fiscal fourth quarter is pegged at $2.72 billion, suggesting 11.9% growth on a year-over-year basis. Improvements across the Defense, Civil and Intelligence business are likely to have driven top-line growth.
In Defense, revenue growth is likely to have been backed by the Aerospace and Joint Combatant Command accounts. Civil revenues are expected to have been driven by growth in health account, and in the mission-critical cyber and digital solutions work. The top line of the Intelligence business is anticipated to have been backed by the National Cyber and Defense Intelligence account and strong hiring across the board.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.22 per share, implying a rise of 20.8% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Growth in the bottom line is expected to have been fueled by strong margins, facilitated by strong contract-level performance and improved cost management.
