Raymond James reiterates Outperform rating on V2X stock after strong Q2

Investing.com - Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James has reiterated its Outperform rating and $57.00 price target on V2X, Inc. (NYSE:VVX) following the company’s second-quarter earnings report. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s current market capitalization stands at $1.75 billion, with the stock trading near Fair Value levels.

V2X posted quarterly sales of $1,078 million, exceeding consensus estimates by 2.6%, while adjusted EBITDA reached $82.4 million, 15% above Street expectations. The company achieved an adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.6%, which was 80 basis points higher than consensus and included a 50 basis point one-time benefit. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a GOOD Financial Health score, though it currently suffers from weak gross profit margins of 8.11%.

The defense contractor reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.33, significantly outperforming the expected $0.97, helped by debt reduction to 2.8x leverage and a lower share count that provided approximately $0.02 in EPS benefit compared to Raymond James’ model. InvestingPro subscribers can access additional insights through the comprehensive Pro Research Report, which provides detailed analysis of V2X’s financial health and growth prospects.

Book-to-bill ratio stood at 0.5x with a backlog of $11.3 billion, which decreased both sequentially and year-over-year by 7.1% and 5.5% respectively. Raymond James noted this backlog figure doesn’t include INDOPACOM/CENTCOM extensions through 2030, T-6, or the full value of W-TRS.

Raymond James is raising its model to reflect recent contract wins including T-6 and Iraqi F-16 programs, while citing potential upside from exercise revenue, T-6 ramp, and WTR-S orders, despite acknowledging headwinds from KC retirements and Middle East task order wind-downs.

In other recent news, V2X, Inc. reported impressive financial results for the second quarter of 2025, exceeding analysts’ expectations. The company achieved an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.33, surpassing the forecasted $1.03. Additionally, V2X reported revenues of $1.078 billion, which was higher than the anticipated $1.05 billion. Despite this quarterly outperformance, V2X decided to maintain its full-year guidance largely unchanged. Following these strong results, Stifel raised its price target for V2X from $55 to $63, while maintaining a Buy rating. This adjustment came after the company’s win of the T-6 contract, which likely contributed to the positive outlook. These developments indicate a period of robust performance for V2X, drawing attention from both analysts and investors.
