BAE Systems' 2026 Guidance a Touch Light -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Feb 18

0855 GMT - BAE Systems' forecast estimates for 2026 are broadly in line with consensus but a touch light on EBIT, earnings per share and free cash flow, say Berenberg analysts George McWhirter and Oluwadunbarin Onabowale. The softness in free cash flow could be partly attributable to the unwind from advances received late in 2025 and some conservatism around the receipt of downpayments, they say. Shares are up 2.9% at 28.87 pounds. (cristina.gallardo@wsj.com)
