Episode Details

Leidos missed revenue estimates due to a six-week government shutdown, but the real story is a massive capital allocation shift away from services.

In ~10 minutes:

*   Why revenue fell 6% to $4.21B despite the EPS beat 📉

*   Tripling CapEx to $350M to fund a hardware pivot

*   The "DOGE" efficiency commission as a specific headwind

The defense contractor is effectively "burning the boats" on its old business model, betting that proprietary tech will survive budget cuts better than billable hours. It’s a risky play for multiple expansion in a volatile regulatory environment.
