V2X unveils Tempest Sentinel counter-UAS and AI tools; $89.09 fair value implies 29% upside

V2X, Inc. showcased its Tempest Sentinel counter-UAS system at the 2026 AUSA Annual Meeting. It also presented its Cold Steel AI readiness platform, Advantor integrated security solutions, and Gateway Mission Router products. The Tempest launch ties to V2X's recent $19 million Marine Corps Tempest IDIQ award. Such products could help diversify earnings beyond episodic service contracts, though they carry higher fixed-price execution risk. The near-term story is unchanged: V2X needs to land and execute large awards. The main risk is that book-to-bill and backlog slip if new wins lag program completions. V2X's narrative projects $5.6 billion in revenue and $231.4 million in earnings by 2029, against $91.8 million in earnings today. That implies a fair value of $89.09, 29% above the current price.
