Company News
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.
V2X has secured a $19 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from the US Marine Corps to supply Tempest counter-Unmanned Aerial System vehicles. The contract includes maintenance support, software management, spares, training, and engineering services. Tempest is a mobile counter-UAS solution designed to detect, track, and defeat unmanned aerial threats in austere and contested environments. The system provides maneuver forces with rapidly deployable protection against evolving unmanned threats whilst maintaining operational flexibility. V2X developed Tempest using a commercially derived architecture that enables rapid deployment and adaptability. The award strengthens V2X's counter-UAS portfolio and demonstrates the company's capability to develop and field solutions addressing emerging operational requirements. The Virginia-based firm employs approximately 16,000 professionals globally, providing solutions across national security, defence, civilian, and international markets.

V2X, a Colorado Springs-based aerospace and defence contractor, reported trailing twelve-month revenue of $4.9 billion and net income of $91.8 million. The company's second quarter 2026 results showed revenue up 17% to $1.2 billion, with adjusted net income climbing 22% to $51.6 million. The stock has gained 34.7% over the past 12 months, outperforming the S&P 500's 19.5% rise. Of 12 analysts covering V2X, 42% rate it a buy, 50% a hold, and 8% a sell.
