Despite constant contract wins, the company has significantly underperformed the Zacks categorized Computer - Services industry with a decline of 1.8% as against 1.1% gain for the latter, over the last 90 days.

A leader in IT outsourcing for the U.S. federal government, CACI earns its revenues through four customer groups: The Department of Defense (DoD), Federal Civilian Agencies, Commercial and Other, and State and Local Governments. The company’s DoD customers include the U.S. Army (the largest customer) and the Navy. Meanwhile, federal civilian agencies provide litigation support services to the Department of Justice.

Having the government as one of the biggest clients lends stability to the business and mitigates some of the fluctuations in revenues. Although the government generally has a lengthy approval process, the project continues to earn money years after securing approval. Moreover, government contracts improve the visibility on future revenue streams.
