The business in plain English
CACI International sells technology and skilled people to governments, mainly for US national security. It was founded in 1962 as a simulation technology company. It now serves defense, intelligence and federal civilian agencies. Its work covers software development, AI-assisted data analytics, cyber operations, electronic warfare, space-based sensors, network upgrades and naval engineering. It had about 27,000 employees as of June 30, 2026.
Much of CACI's work is won through competitive bids. A contract may be fixed-price. It may be cost-reimbursement, where the government covers costs plus a fee. Or it may be time-and-materials, billed at hourly rates. Federal government contracts produced 95.6% of revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. Agencies of the Department of War supplied 53.6% and the intelligence community 24.6%. The ten largest contracts brought in $2.2 billion, or 22.5% of revenue.
Revenue for that year was $9.57 billion, up 10.9%. CACI splits it into two parts. Technology brought in $5.58 billion, or 58.4%. Expertise, meaning specialists such as engineers and analysts, brought in $3.98 billion, or 41.6%. US operations made up 96.8% of revenue. A London-based European arm serving commercial and government customers made up 3.2%. CACI also grows by buying companies. It completed eight acquisitions in the three fiscal years through June 2026.

What could go wrong
- Nearly all revenue depends on federal contracts. Federal contracts made up 95.6% of revenue in the fiscal year to June 2026, with 53.6% from the Department of War. Being suspended or barred from government work would badly hurt results.
- Budget standoffs and shutdowns can stall work. Stopgap funding bills usually block new programs. Those bills, shutdowns or shifts in defense priorities can delay awards, slow projects and hold up payments, so quarterly results can be uneven.
- Contracts can be ended at government's choice. Nearly all federal contracts can be ended at the government's convenience, paying only costs and profit on work done. That has been rare, but the top ten contracts made up 22.5% of fiscal 2026 revenue.
- Large debt and reliance on acquisitions. Debt was $4.84 billion against $279 million of cash as of September 30, 2026. Servicing it takes significant cash. Growth also leans on acquisitions, which may become harder to find or integrate.
- Needs cleared, skilled staff to deliver. CACI competes for highly skilled staff, and some work requires security clearances. Failing to hire, keep or clear enough people could cost contracts. Employee misconduct could also get CACI barred from federal work.
- Bid losses and fixed-price cost overruns. Much business comes from competitive bids, and rivals can protest wins, causing delays. On fixed-price work, CACI bears the cost if it underestimates the effort, which squeezes profit.

For income and retirement investors
CACI pays no dividend, so the stock offers no regular income. Any return comes from the share price. Instead, the company has put spare cash into acquisitions and share buybacks, meaning purchases of its own stock. It bought back $630 million of stock from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2026. Buybacks fell sharply to $17 million in fiscal 2026. The share count fell 5.1% between January 2022 and October 2026. An income investor would have to sell shares to raise cash, which hurts more after a price drop.
The shares have fallen sharply in past downturns. They fell 30% in the 2008 financial crisis and did not regain their 2007 high until January 2011. In the 2020 COVID crash they dropped 41.4% and recovered by October 2021. In the 2022 market slump they fell 19% but were back at their high by late November 2022. As with any single stock, CACI carries more risk than a diversified fund.
Questions investors ask
Does CACI pay a dividend?
No. CACI paid no dividends from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2026, so the stock provides no regular income. Instead, the company returned cash through share buybacks, spending $630 million over those five fiscal years. That helped cut the share count by 5.1% between January 2022 and October 2026. Buybacks slowed to $17 million in fiscal 2026, a year in which CACI also completed two acquisitions.
How does CACI make money?
CACI sells technology and specialist staff to government agencies, mainly in US defense and intelligence. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $9.57 billion, up 10.9%. Technology work brought in 58.4%. It includes software, AI-assisted data analytics, electronic warfare and space systems. Expertise brought in 41.6%. It means supplying skilled people such as engineers, analysts and intelligence support staff. Much of the work is won through competitive bids, under fixed-price, cost-reimbursement or time-and-materials contracts.
How much of CACI's revenue comes from the US government?
Almost all of it. Federal government contracts made up 95.6% of CACI's revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. Agencies of the Department of War supplied 53.6% and the intelligence community 24.6%. Operations outside the US, run mainly from London, made up just 3.2%. So federal budget delays, shutdowns or shifts in priorities can hit CACI directly. The company's annual report says the government has rarely ended its contracts early, and those cancellations generally have not materially affected operations.
How much debt does CACI have?
CACI had $4.84 billion of debt and $279 million of cash and investments as of September 30, 2026. That left net debt of about $4.56 billion. Shareholders' equity, or book value, was $4.63 billion, a little less than the debt. The annual report warns that servicing this debt requires a significant amount of cash. For context, CACI produced $780 million of free cash flow in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. Free cash flow is the cash left after running the business and paying for equipment.
How has CACI stock performed over the long term?
CACI shares gained 578% over the 10 years to October 28, 2026. That is an average of 21.1% a year, and the five-year average was 19.1% a year. These figures reflect price changes only. The gains came with deep drops. The stock fell 41.4% in the 2020 COVID crash. In the year to October 28, 2026, it fell as much as 33.4% from a high. Past returns do not predict future ones.
