Kratos has beaten revenue guidance consistently. Q4 FY2025 beat by ~6%. Record backlog of $1.573B provides 1+ year visibility. FY2026 appropriation signed. $1.595B low-end is conservative at 12.7% growth vs. FY2025 actual 20% organic growth rate. Very likely to meet or exceed.

The Nomad acquisition (~$75M LTM revenue from mid-Feb) is included in guidance and provides incremental revenue. Hypersonic ramp, even if partially delayed, adds significant revenue. The only realistic miss scenario is a severe government shutdown or appropriations crisis.

The back-half loaded hypersonic ramp creates some risk. If SRM deliveries slip by a full quarter, $50-100M could shift to FY2027. But the low-end guidance ($1.595B) requires only 12.7% organic growth -- well below the demonstrated 20% rate. Strongly favors YES.

Low-end guidance requires only 12.7% organic growth. The company grew 20% in FY2025. Backlog is record high. Appropriations signed. Multiple new program wins. This is one of the higher-confidence predictions. Main risk is macro disruption to defense spending.

Q1 is guided as the lowest quarter ($335-345M). Need ~$1.25B in Q2-Q4 to hit $1.595B. That's $417M/quarter average. Q4 FY2025 was $345M. Revenue growth trajectory supports this but requires continued ramp.
