About Leidos Holdings, Inc.

Leidos Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-based defense and technology services company listed on the NYSE/NASDAQ market — in practice, Leidos trades on the NYSE under the ticker LDOS — and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, United States. The company traces its roots back to 1969 under earlier corporate identities and has evolved into a major provider of mission-focused engineering, digital modernization, and systems integration services for the U.S. federal government, including defense, intelligence, homeland security, and selected commercial customers. ([investors.leidos.com](https://investors.leidos.com/news-releases/news-release-details/leidos-holdings-inc-declares-quarterly-cash-dividend-42?utm_source=openai)) Leidos’ business model is built around complementary service lines that historically span defense, national security, health, infrastructure, and public-sector support services. Its offerings include engineering and systems integration, IT modernization, cybersecurity, data analytics, mission software, AI-enabled solutions, and security-related platforms and equipment used in areas such as border protection, transportation, and environmental programs. At the start of fiscal 2026, Leidos said it had reorganized its business into four reported segments, designed to align more closely with distinct capability sets and growth markets.

The company’s strengths lie in its ability to combine mission expertise, large-program delivery, and digital transformation capabilities. Its commercial footprint is primarily North America-centered, with the United States remaining the core market, although some programs can have international dimensions depending on customer requirements.

Leidos reported strong fiscal 2025 results and raised its 2026 outlook, supported by growth in priority markets and solid order activity. The company also announced targeted acquisitions, including Kudu Dynamics, to expand its defense technology capabilities, and disclosed a planned joint venture involving parts of its Security Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Automation businesses. In addition, the board declared a quarterly dividend in May 2026, underscoring continued cash generation. For French-speaking investors, Leidos remains a defense-technology and mission-services compounder with meaningful exposure to U.S. government spending on security, modernization, and digital transformation.
