What this transaction means for investors
After shedding nearly 40% of its value over the past year, DXC might be calling the attention of value investors looking for stocks whose expectations may have fallen too far. Still, it’s important to note that DXC is facing real challenges: Fiscal year revenue, as reported earlier this month, declined 2% to $12.6 billion, while organic revenue fell 5%. Management is also guiding for another year of declining sales (as much as 5%) in fiscal 2027.
However, there are signs of progress beneath the surface. DXC generated $713 million in free cash flow last year, up 4%, repurchased $250 million of stock, and ended the year with $1.7 billion in cash. The company has also been repositioning itself around AI-driven enterprise transformation, recently launching its OASIS orchestration platform while continuing broader operational improvement initiatives.
Ultimately, it seems that if management can slow or curb the revenue declines and sustain healthy cash generation, the stock could look materially different in the long-term. The risk, of course, is that shrinking sales continue to outpace the company's turnaround efforts.
