What matters now
- The rarer combination: high quality (73/100) AND below fair value. That earns a closer look rather than a quick verdict.
- The price is below even our cautious bear case ($156.93). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- A fairly wide model range ($156.93 to $391.23) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Leidos Holdings (LDOS) currently trades at $142.61, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $271.78, implying the stock looks roughly 90.6% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 73/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Leidos Holdings generated revenue of $17.3B at a net margin of 8.2%. Revenue grew 3.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 30.6%. Net debt stands at $4.7B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $156.93 (bear case) to $391.23 (bull case); at $142.61, the current price sits below that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 30% below its 52-week high and 18% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at 0% fair-value upside, at 91%, LDOS screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($279.34) versus Dividend Discount ($25.45). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
