BigBear.ai raises its 2026 revenue outlook as Q3 sales surge 31%, margins expand and government AI contracts fuel growth despite continued losses.

BBAI's contract wins and accelerating revenue contrast with BAH's stronger profitability, rising earnings estimates and 75% ROE in the government AI race.

BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. delivered strong Q3 revenue growth and backlog wins but remains unprofitable, with execution lagging potential. Q3 revenue rose 31.5% y/y to $43.58m, but GAAP EPS missed due to a $76.7m goodwill impairment; adjusted EBITDA remains negative. Gross margin improved to 31.2%, driven by the Ask Sage generative AI platform, yet cash flow and profitability are still weak.

Full-year 2026 revenue guidance increased to $150 million to $165 million. Third-quarter revenue rose 31% year over year to $43.6 million.

BigBear.AI Inc (NYSE:BBAI) posted financial results for the third quarter after the market close on Tuesday. Here's a rundown of the report.
