Booz Allen Gears Up to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation BAH is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results on May 23, before the bell.

The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the past four quarters and missing once, delivering an average surprise of 6.7%.

Q4 Expectations for BAH

The consensus estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $3.02 billion, indicating 8.9% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. Several factors are expected to have driven the anticipated top-line growth, such as strong service demand, headcount growth and higher billable expenses.

The consensus estimate for EPS in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.59, indicating 19.4% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. This expected increase is likely to have been driven by strong operating performance.
