Leverage
100

Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions carries a low D/E ratio of 0.00, meaning only $0.00 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 100/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity
80

With a current ratio of 4.06, Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions holds $4.06 in current assets for every $1 of short-term obligations. This comfortable liquidity earns a score of 80/100.

Earnings Quality Low Quality
-1.91x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Kratos Defense & Sec Solutions generates $-1.91 in operating cash flow (-$42.1M OCF vs $22.0M net income). This low ratio suggests earnings are primarily driven by accounting accruals rather than cash generation, which may not be sustainable.
