Expectations This Time Around

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.53 billion, indicating 12.8% year-over-year growth. We expect continued ramp-up on recent contract awards and prompt execution on backlog programs to have positively impacted PSN’s top line in the quarter. PSN is expected to perform strongly across all four business units and major geographies.

The consensus mark for earnings in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at 66 cents, suggesting 4.8% year-over-year growth. We expect strong operating performance to drive the bottom line in the quarter.
