  • Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) Valuation Seen Undervalued Amid Share Price Drop
    January 31, 2026, 3:59 PM EST. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding (BAH) has experienced a 30% decline in total shareholder return over the past year, with a recent 14% drop in the last 7 days. Despite this, analysts highlight a value score of 5 and an indicated intrinsic discount of about 45%, suggesting the stock may be undervalued. The company's last close at $88.42 falls below its fair value estimate of $101.50. Booz Allen is well positioned to benefit from increased federal investments in digital transformation, AI, and cybersecurity. However, risks like government procurement delays and fixed price contract pressures could impact future earnings and margins. Investors are urged to consider these factors when reassessing Booz Allen's valuation.
