What CACI International does
CACI International, founded in 1962 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia, is a technology and expertise provider focused on U.S. national security, serving the intelligence community, the defense sector, and federal civilian agencies. It also operates in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Its capabilities cover command, control, communications and intelligence networks, software-defined signals intelligence and electronic warfare, radio-frequency and photonics technology for secure battlefield communications, and offensive and defensive cyber operations.

What is CACI International worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, CACI International's most-likely value is about $732 versus a recent price near $611 (20% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$340) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
⚠ High leverage — net debt is 6.5× annual cash flow. Net debt is subtracted from this fair value, but refinancing at higher rates, principal timing, and share dilution aren’t modeled — the equity can be worth far less if cash flow weakens.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
