Kratos Defense and Security Solutions Inc (KTOS) Options

Sweet, moving on up

WTH Why the selloff the last couple days? First quarter earnings increase with a good quarter and this sells off while the whole market in general is up.. I don't get it. I will never understand the stock market!

That's where most of the waste, fraud and abuse is in this country. But as soon as anyone says "defense spending cuts," people get up in arms calling you anti-american and accusing you of wanting less planes and ships, and a smaller army. It's more about the useless defense R&D projects and military aid to every country on the planet. But hey, it's the biggest military industry in the world, so the neo-cons will always promote international conflicts and use their influence to keep the machine going so they get their piece of the pie.

And now he wants to ramp up defense spending instead of cutting spending. I don't get it!
Trump budget calls for more than $1T in defense spending, massive cuts to education, foreign aid and environment

I thought being added to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index would be a good thing. This has done nothing but drop since being added!

Why do these $billions$ and $millions$ in grants, awards, contracts do nothing for the stock price of this company. What am I missing?

Guess I'll have to hold another 2-3 years for this to get back to last highs but hope it can double by then.

I don't know what to believe. They now want to cut defense spending. When Trump was running for Pres. defense spending was one of the things they were talking about ramping up.

Smart money usually knows. with that said, up 11.22% over 3 months. Up 34.19% 6 months.

Not bad.

Possible profit taking. I know I did. Still strong and long.

BTW. The globe is a lot more dangerous. Do you really think they will stop buying weapons. They may boycott CO Not KTOS.

Kratos received good forecast reports at the beginning of this month from analysts, but a report came out a few days ago highlighting insider selling in December and January. As of today, there has been a few institutions that have bought, and both insiders and institutions have sold already in February. With the earnings report coming out on the 26th, this is interesting to see. Volume has been up the last 3 days with a lot of selling pressure. Trump announcing this week that the defense sector could be next to receive cuts up to 50% may be a factor as well.

I don't understand. Who is selling this for the last several days and why? There has been no bad news yet it continues to tank. Over $7 in 10 days. This is bull crap for a $30 stock. IMO

Why the heck has this dropped over $5.00 in a matter of a few days? Where's the bottom?

-2.11 (-6.16%) WTF

That didn't take to long. Could it possibly see $50 this year?

LA fires maybe it gets a little shove up. We shall see but a solid company with contracts 

There it is, another decent little contract and share price falls

This continues to perform well.

Pathetic!!!
Kratos Awarded $116.7 Million Prime Contract from the U.S. Space Development Agency for Ground System to Support Advanced Fire Control Missions
and this thing drops almost $3

To bad the insiders don't believe in their company and purchase shares once in a while. All they ever do is sell!

Help me understand! Everything is up! Sales are up! Revenue is up! Profits are up! Yet the share price is going down!

Kratos got a nice little bump in the share price when the good financials just came out then a steady decline since. Why does this stock not go up?????????????????

For some reason these large contracts, grants, partnerships, etc do nothing for this companies share price. The insiders of the company are constantly selling shares and none of them are ever buying.

Earnings very soon. I would like to hear more contracts and strategic partnerships.
JMO

Another large contract and the share price goes down!
Kratos Receives $57.6 Million Contract for 70 BQM-177A Aerial Targets

Uuh OK

should start tomorrow.

I hope these turds get richer while we investors get poorer as all they do is sell. Nearly 20 million in sales with only 232 thousand bought since 2021!

Been almost 6 months since this post. When does this Boom start?
I am not a numbers guy but this company has received millions and millions and millions and more millions in contracts, grants, etc in the last several years. I would have thought this stock would be $30-40 by now yet it can't even hold $20.

Right on time. Imagine that!

Insiders have sold a total of 545,360 Kratos Defense & Security Solutions shares in the last 24 months for a total of $8,921,341.36 sold.

Good day today here in KTOS land! Decisions Decisions Should I sell before the insiders start selling, lol

Good Luck to both of us.

I also am a long termer in this. I have held this for over 10 years. I would have thought with everything they have it would have been much much higher. I should have sold at $30 but thought it would keep climbing. I really thought this had a chance to be a $50 stock. I'm to the point if it gets back to $20 I will probably sell. The insiders are constantly selling their stock. They never buy so I guess they have no faith in their company.

No, it did not. I am a long term investor in this, I still have faith for much bigger things in the future.

That $20 didn't stick around long!

2024 has not been good for this stock! I would have thought with all the wars going on that it would be good for defense stocks. Guess Not

KTOS new 52 week high

The question is when does it reach it highs above $30?

Very soon yes indeed

Yep

over $20 soon?

KTOS 164 years ago John Stuart Mill summed it up:
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things:
the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse.
A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other."
Sadly, we have a need for RTX and KTOS in this current world of ours.

$$$$$ KTOS $$$$$

BOOM coming soon, earnings and future outlook next week.
