AI Insight: VSEC Financial Trends

VSE Corp's Q1 2026 net income surged to $29M — the highest in the dataset — while revenue hit a new peak of $325M, but operating cash flow turned sharply negative at -$62M.

Revenue grew steadily from $266M in Q2 2024 to $325M in Q1 2026, a cumulative gain of roughly 22% over six quarters.

Net income swung from -$3M in Q2 2024 and -$9M in Q1 2025 to $29M in Q1 2026, the strongest quarterly profit in the dataset.

Total debt fell from $494M in Q2 2024 to $300M in Q4 2025, though it ticked back up to $391M in Q1 2026.

Operating cash flow turned deeply negative at -$62M in Q1 2026, reversing the positive $38M generated just one quarter prior.

Operating CF of -$62M in Q1 2026 diverges sharply from $29M net income — working capital drag or timing needs monitoring.

Equity jumped from $983M in Q3 2025 to $2,666M in Q1 2026 — likely an acquisition or equity issuance with integration risk.

Debt rose $91M sequentially in Q1 2026 after reaching a multi-quarter low of $300M — leverage trajectory could reverse.

AI Insight: VSEC Ratio Trends

Leverage has collapsed from 0.63 to 0.15 D/E in six quarters, but ROIC is fading from its 7.6% peak to 4.3% in Q1 2026.

D/E ratio fell sharply from 0.63 in Q2 2024 to 0.15 in Q1 2026, a near-80% reduction in leverage.

NPM recovered strongly to 8.9% in Q1 2026 from -3.5% in Q1 2025, a 12.4pp year-over-year improvement.

ROIC has trended down from its 7.6% peak in Q4 2024 to 4.3% in Q1 2026, a 3.3pp decline over four quarters.

OpMargin has been volatile, ranging from 3.6% in Q3 2025 to 46.2% in Q3 2024, with Q3 2024 likely a one-off event.

ROIC dropped from 7.6% in Q4 2024 to 4.3% in Q1 2026 — monitor whether capital efficiency continues to erode.

OpMargin compressed to 10.1% in Q1 2026 from 10.8% in Q4 2025 — sequential pressure despite improving NPM warrants scrutiny.

The Q3 2024 OpMargin spike to 46.2% appears anomalous; confirming whether it reflects a divestiture or one-time gain is critical for baseline comparisons.
