4. What to watch next
The next catalyst is management’s tone and detail on the April 30, 2026 earnings call, including the sustainability of demand across U.S. federal programs and international work, and whether margin and cash-flow performance remain consistent into the second half. Any commentary on bidding activity, project timing, and the conversion of backlog into revenue will likely shape whether today’s rally holds. (marketbeat.com)
