Leidos Holdings, Inc. stock (ISIN US5253271028) closed at USD 128.40 on September 9, 2026 on the New York Stock Exchange, down 0.65% from the prior close, according to price data for that trading day, with the move coming shortly after the company updated investors at the Jefferies Global Industrials Conference 2026.
Jefferies conference puts organic growth and guidance in focus
As Investing.com reported on September 9, 2026, Leidos used its appearance at the Jefferies Global Industrials Conference 2026 to highlight that second-quarter 2024 organic revenue growth reached 4%, bringing first-half 2024 organic growth to 5% and supporting a raised full-year guidance that implies about 8% organic growth in the second half of 2024.
According to Investing.com, this guidance update comes in the context of a market capitalization of USD 16.17 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.12 as of the conference date, with management also pointing to a dividend yield of 1.33% and noting that the company has raised its dividend for seven consecutive years.
Fundamentals from the latest reported period
The 4% organic revenue growth figure for the second quarter of 2024 and 5% for the first half of 2024 are among the most recent fundamental data points Leidos has discussed publicly, and they frame the company’s operating momentum relative to 2023 levels even though detailed quarterly revenue and earnings numbers were not reiterated in the latest conference coverage.
For investors, the quantified step-up implied by roughly 8% organic growth in the second half of 2024 versus the 5% organic growth achieved in the first half of 2024 suggests management is targeting a clear acceleration in the back half of the year, with the guidance effectively calling for organic growth that is about 3 percentage points higher in the second half than in the earlier months of the fiscal period.
Stock performance and valuation context
Per price data summarized by MarketBeat, Leidos Holdings stock finished the September 9, 2026 session at USD 128.40 on the New York Stock Exchange, down 0.84 points or 0.65%, with the extended trading session later showing a modest additional decline to USD 128.20.
In comparison with the valuation context described by Investing.com, where the company was characterized as having a USD 16.17 billion market capitalization and trading at a P/E ratio of 12.12, the closing share price around USD 128 on September 9, 2026 still leaves Leidos Holdings stock positioned as a mid-cap defense and technology name with a valuation that some investors may view as moderate relative to its growth targets and dividend track record.
Closing price and investor takeaway
With Leidos Holdings stock closing at USD 128.40 on September 9, 2026 on the New York Stock Exchange and showing a small decline of 0.65% for that trading day, the shares remain supported by recent organic growth figures of 4% in the second quarter of 2024 and 5% in the first half of 2024 as well as a raised full-year guidance that implies about 8% organic growth in the second half of 2024, giving investors a concrete framework for assessing how future results align with those targets.
