Research Alert: Dxc Sees Deteriorating Bookings, Provides Disappointing Fy 27 Outlook
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:DXC's Q4 FY 26 (Mar-Q) revenue of $3.13B declined 1.2% Y/Y (-6.6% organically), missing Street expectations of $3.15B, with DXY's FY 26 organic decline showing a continued downward acceleration to 4.8% from 4.6% in FY 25. Non-GAAP EPS of $0.77 beat consensus of $0.70 but declined by 8.3% Y/Y. Q4 bookings of $3.3B fell 13.5% Y/Y, offsetting the positive milestone of DXC's book-to-bill (1.07x) exceeding 1.0x for the first time since Q4 FY 25. We expect continued pressure as deteriorating bookings performance raises concerns about future revenue visibility. Management's FY 27 guidance suggests ongoing headwinds, with revenue expected to decline 3%-5% organically, non-GAAP EPS guided to $2.65 at the midpoint (well below expectations of $3.06), and FCF of $600M (-16% Y/Y) missing expectations for $662M. While the company emphasizes AI initiatives including its OASIS platform, we believe the extended timeline for meaningful contribution (10% of revenue by Q2 FY 29) provides limited support.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:DKNG delivered solid Q1 results with revenue up 17% to $1.646B and positive GAAP net income of $21.1M vs. a $33.9M loss in the prior year, while adjusted EBITDA surged 64% to $167.9M. Sportsbook revenue jumped 24% to $1.095B with net revenue margin expanding 140 basis points to 7.8%, demonstrating enhanced pricing power and favorable sports outcomes. We are impressed with continued momentum in the company's profitability push but worry about stagnant monthly active user growth and execution in prediction markets. Management maintained 2026 guidance for revenue of $6.5B-$6.9B and adjusted EBITDA of $700M-$900M, emphasizing plans to invest aggressively in Sports Predictions. MUPs declined 4% to 4.2M due to the Texas lottery exit but increased 2% excluding lottery operations, while average revenue per MUP jumped 21% to $131. The company ended with $999.4M in cash and shares trade at 16x consensus 2026 EBITDA estimates.
