DXC Technology secures top executives with special equity grants

ASHBURN, Va. - DXC Technology (NYSE:DXC), a global technology services provider with $13.1 billion in annual revenue, has announced the approval of special equity grants for two of its top executives. According to InvestingPro analysis, DXC currently appears undervalued, with the stock showing a significant 9.6% return over the past week. The grants aim to retain President and CEO Raul Fernandez and EVP and CFO Rob Del Bene through fiscal year 2028. This decision underscores the Board of Directors’ confidence in the executives’ ability to lead the company toward long-term shareholder value creation.

The special equity grants are part of a compensation package that replaces the annual equity grants for the fiscal years 2026 to 2028. Instead, Fernandez and Del Bene will receive one-time, three-year equity grants tied to the achievement of performance goals. These goals focus on free cash flow, revenue generation, and total shareholder return relative to a competitive peer set.

Chairman of the DXC Board, David Herzog, praised the leadership team’s strategic vision and operational execution. Under Fernandez’s leadership, the company has reportedly refined its strategic focus and revitalized its market approach, while Del Bene’s financial stewardship has been instrumental in positioning DXC for future value delivery to customers, employees, and shareholders. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.34 and has received a "GOOD" overall financial health score, suggesting strong operational fundamentals.

Fernandez expressed his commitment to leading DXC and the progress made in establishing a foundation for the company’s success. He highlighted the team’s alignment around driving sustainable profitable growth and his belief in DXC’s strong positioning to succeed for clients and shareholders.

The terms of the awards have been detailed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2025. This move is part of DXC’s broader strategy to modernize IT and optimize data architectures for its global clientele.
