KBR Stock Price, News & Analysis

KBR (NYSE: KBR) has successfully supported the launch and execution of Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4), the fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. The company provided comprehensive ISS systems and medical training to the four Ax-4 crew members for their two-week mission.

In a significant milestone, KBR embedded four flight controllers in Axiom Space's mission control center for real-time operational support. This mission continues KBR's involvement in private space missions, building on their support of Axiom Missions 1, 2, and 3, and extends their legacy of working with every U.S. astronaut since 1968.

KBR announced that HomeSafe Alliance, its joint venture, received notice from U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) terminating its role in the Global Household Goods Contract on June 18, 2025. The contract was intended to enhance the moving system for military service members and their families. KBR will continue working with HomeSafe to fulfill remaining obligations to TRANSCOM and affected military families. Importantly, KBR states this development will not materially impact its 2025 adjusted EBITDA outlook, as the program was not expected to contribute to profits during its initial year of move activity.

KBR has secured a $161 million subcontract with Strategic Resources Inc to support the U.S. Army's psychological health and resilience services. The Master Resilience Training/Training Center Support contract includes a base year plus four option years, covering Army installations across the U.S., Korea, Japan, and Germany. KBR will provide Master Resilience Trainers at Army Ready and Resilience Centers to enhance well-being and performance of soldiers, families, Army civilians, and DoD staff. The program focuses on developing skills like self-awareness, optimism, and mental agility. This win follows KBR's recent DoD healthcare contracts (SPARC and MQS2) and complements existing contracts with NASA and U.S. Special Operations Forces for similar services.

KBR has secured a significant $476 million contract from the U.S. Navy Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) to provide Base Operations Support services at Camp Lemonnier and Chabelley Airfield in Djibouti.

KBR will deliver full-scale support including facility operations, maintenance, fire and emergency services, airfield operations, and security operations. The company will also manage basic life support services such as power generation, water supply, housing, and food services. This contract extends KBR's existing relationship with NAVFAC in Djibouti, which began in 2013, and adds to their current base operations support presence in Bahrain, Diego Garcia, UAE, and other global locations.

KBR (NYSE: KBR) has signed a letter of intent with ACMI Properties to develop a 45,000 square-foot human spaceflight food laboratory at NASA's Exploration Park, adjacent to Johnson Space Center.

The laboratory will serve as a critical resource for NASA and its provider community, delivering food solutions optimized for human performance during spaceflight missions. The facility will support various mission models and durations, with applications extending to LEO, Moon, and Mars missions. Beyond human spaceflight programs, the facility will also target solutions for advanced food safety, packaging, and lifecycle management in extreme environments.

KBR has been selected to design a groundbreaking enzymatic recycling plant for Samsara Eco, scheduled for completion in early 2028. The facility will process 20,000 metric tons of nylon 6,6 annually using Samsara's AI-powered enzyme technology.

The innovative technology breaks down hard-to-recycle plastics and textiles into their original building blocks, enabling continuous remanufacturing without quality loss. Notable achievements include recycling challenging materials like nylon 6,6, mixed fibers, and colored fabrics.

KBR will deliver pre-FEED by Q2 2025, followed by FEED engineering for the commercial facility. Samsara Eco has already partnered with lululemon, creating the world's first enzymatically recycled nylon 6,6 product and a limited-edition Packable Anorak jacket made from recycled polyester.
