Shares of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS) plunged 7.81% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, February 26, following the company's fourth quarter 2024 earnings report and guidance for the first quarter of 2025.
For the fourth quarter, Kratos reported revenue of $283.1 million, narrowly missing Wall Street's expectations of around $288 million. While earnings met estimates, the slight revenue miss appears to have impacted investor sentiment.
However, the more significant factor weighing on the stock seems to be the company's first quarter 2025 revenue guidance. Kratos expects Q1 revenue in the range of $285 million to $295 million, lower than analysts' consensus estimate of around $300 million.
Despite the near-term setback, Kratos reiterated its positive long-term outlook. The company forecasts 10% organic revenue growth for the full year 2025 and an even stronger 13% to 15% revenue growth rate in 2026, driven by recent program wins and strong demand for its products and services.
