Future Opportunities - The defense budget is projected to exceed $1 trillion, with SAIC focusing on mission data, cloud-based command and control, and modernization of legacy systems as key growth areas [184][191]. - The company is exploring M&A opportunities, particularly in data-focused AI and intelligence sectors, while being cautious about capital allocation due to stock valuation concerns [240][241].
