⚡ Quantum Brief
Unisys reported Q4 revenue growth of 5%, with non-GAAP operating margins jumping to 18% from 11.6%, driven by a 23% surge in License and Support sales. The company’s $3.15 billion backlog strengthens revenue visibility, while pension deficits shrank to $0.45 billion after $320 million in liability reductions. Pre-pension free cash flow turned positive at $127.7 million, signaling improved financial health despite lingering legacy risks. Shares trade at a steep PEG discount, with FY27 EPS normalization expected to trigger a valuation re-rating, though 2026 guidance remains weak. Unisys stock has plunged nearly 60% since prior analysis, but structural improvements suggest potential upside despite near-term volatility.
