Bright Prospects Despite Competition

Competition from Science Applications (NYSE:SAIC) in the IT services space remains steady. CACI continues to win high-value contracts and received contracts worth $2.2billion in its October quarter.

In the IT services industry, the company also competes with IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Accenture (NYSE:ACN) , which are considered among the top IT service providers in the world.

Nonetheless, we believe that the company is comfortably positioned in this space, given its favored relationship with the DoD. Moreover, cyberattacks are creating increased awareness, leading to more demand for cybersecurity solutions.

Per Mordor Intelligence, the global IT Services market is expected to witness a CAGR of 26% over the next five years. This forecast bodes well for CACI, which is a key supplier in the global IT services market.
