About Booz Allen Hamilton Holding

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation is a Delaware-incorporated holding company, formed in May 2008. The company provides advanced technology and consulting services, primarily to the U.S. federal government, focusing on national security, defense, intelligence, and civil sectors.

What’s Being Investigated

Lawyers are investigating whether certain Booz Allen officers and directors breached their duties by issuing optimistic financial guidance in May 2025 and later sharply reducing that outlook in October 2025, particularly regarding the company’s civil-sector business.

On October 24, 2025, Booz Allen reported quarterly results below prior forecasts and cut its full-year guidance, citing a funding slowdown and slower-than-expected civil-sector recovery.

Revenue declined 8.1% year over year to about $2.9 billion. The company reduced its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook from $12.0 to $12.5 billion down to $11.3 to $11.5 billion, and adjusted EPS from $6.20 to $6.55 down to $5.45 to $5.65.

Following this disclosure, shares fell from a close of $100.29 on October 23 to $91.41 by market close the following day.

Three days later, on October 27, 2025, analysts at Goldman Sachs (Sell, 80-dollar target), UBS (Neutral, 93-dollar target), and J.P. Morgan (Underweight, 90-dollar target) downgraded Booz Allen, each citing management’s overestimation of civil-sector recovery and reduced visibility in government funding.

The stock fell another 5.3%, from closing at $91.41 on October 24 to $86.53 per share by market close on October 27, 2025.

Together, these two events, the October 24 earnings miss and the October 27 analyst downgrades, potentially form the basis for shareholder concern regarding Booz Allen’s forecasting, disclosure, and internal oversight practices.

Key Timeline

• May 23, 2025: Booz Allen issues FY2026 guidance, projecting revenue of $12 to $12.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $6.20 to $6.55. Investors allege this set expectations for growth in both civil and national security segments.

• October 24, 2025: Company announces Q2 FY2026 results below forecast; revenue down 8.1% year-over-year. Full-year outlook is cut to $11.3 to $11.5 billion in revenue and $5.45 to $5.65 adjusted diluted EPS. Investors allege the guidance cut contradicted earlier optimism and may indicate prior disclosure issues.

• October 27, 2025 (pre-market): Goldman Sachs (Sell, $80 PT), UBS (Neutral, $93 PT), and J.P. Morgan (Underweight, $90 PT) downgrade Booz Allen, all referencing the October 24 guidance cut and asserting the company “materially over-estimated civil-sector recovery.” Shares trade down intraday.

Why Investors May Be Concerned

Investors and analysts allege that Booz Allen’s leadership may have failed to adequately monitor and disclose mission-critical risks related to government funding cycles and civil-sector demand.

Key issues may include:

• Whether management provided guidance inconsistent with internal data or known market trends
• Whether board-level oversight adequately addressed weakening civil-sector conditions before guidance was issued
• Whether internal controls ensured the accuracy of public statements about growth and financial expectations

Your Rights and Next Steps

This is an ongoing shareholder investigation into potential breaches of fiduciary duty and related misconduct at Booz Allen.

Potential next steps may include:

• Seeking accountability measures such as stronger forecasting controls, enhanced board-level risk oversight, and clearer disclosure practices for government-funded contracts
