# Weekly Recap | KTOS.US -8.04%, consensus target above spot

## The Week

Kratos Defense & Security (KTOS) fell 8.04% this week to close at $47.82, lagging the S&P 500 by roughly 8.13 percentage points. The week opened at $52.025 on Monday, which turned out to be the high, then drifted lower through Thursday’s intraday low of $46.92 before a small Friday bounce. Daily volume averaged about 3.33 million shares, roughly 6% below the recent median. With little in the way of catalysts, the week’s two announcements were contract awards, and the stock mostly worked through its earlier pullback.

## Analyst Ratings

Coverage stands at 21 firms: 14 rate it buy, 5 over, 2 hold, with no under or sell ratings. The consensus rating is strong buy, and the consensus target price is $105.62, about 120.87% above the latest spot. Targets range widely from $60 to $150, pointing to a clear split of views. Within aerospace and defence, the stock ranks 11 out of 84 names in the industry rating table.

## The Week Ahead

Next week brings a busy macro calendar. Tuesday has the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, while Thursday fronts initial jobless claims, final PPI figures and existing home sales, alongside three 10-year Treasury auctions and the EIA natural gas storage report. For a defence supplier, the rate environment and the pace of contract follow-through are worth tracking. On the company side, watch whether this week’s two awards give rise to further order news.
