Gekko Brief
AI summaryOct 12 closeMaximus this week centers on its Q3 fiscal 2026 results and outlook. Revenue of $1.28 billion met expectations, with adjusted EPS of $2.22 slightly above the prior year, and the company maintained full-year revenue guidance while revising EPS guidance due to a temporary pause in performance incentives on a major VA contract. Separately, the company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share, payable 30 November to shareholders of record as of 13 November, and scheduled its fiscal fourth-quarter and year-end call.
Shares closed at $58.87, down 0.9%, sitting between the 50-day average of $56.82 and the 200-day average of $66.87, a mixed trend picture. The GekkoIndex reads 51.6, placing the stock in the Neutral zone, down from a five-day change of -11.6. Price sits 43.2% below Gekko Fair Value of $103.56, a notable gap.
The next earnings date falls on 19 November 2026, before the open, which is 38 days away and outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. The prior report on 6 August showed an EPS beat with a -6.3% reaction, and average absolute reactions have run 8.9% across recent quarters. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the recent windows. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged +0.4% over five years, rising in 2 of them, a mixed historical pattern worth noting.
