Key Figures
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 09 | FedRAMP authorization | Positive | -3.4% | Full Xacta platform achieved FedRAMP Impact Level High authorization. |
| Mar 16 | Earnings release | Neutral | -0.7% | Posted Q4 and full-year 2025 results and held webcast. |
| Mar 02 | Earnings date set | Neutral | +0.3% | Announced timing and webcast for Q4 and 2025 results. |
| Jan 08 | Contract renewal | Positive | +1.5% | Announced $5.4M renewal for cyber GRC with Fortune 100 tech company. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news, especially contract and award announcements, has usually led to price moves that align with the generally positive tone, with one notable divergence on a major FedRAMP authorization.
Over the last several months, Telos has reported a series of operational and contract developments. In December 2025, it was selected for the Missile Defense Agency SHIELD IDIQ with a total ceiling of $151 billion, which saw a positive price reaction. A $5.4 million cyber GRC renewal in January 2026 also aligned with a gain. More recently, FedRAMP High authorization for the full Xacta suite on April 9, 2026 coincided with a negative move, showing that even strong technical wins have not always been rewarded. Today’s campus TSA PreCheck expansion fits into this pattern of incremental commercial and government-related wins.
