Description: PSN Parsons January 07, 2026
Parsons Corp (NYSE:PSN) delivers integrated engineering, construction, and technology services to U.S. federal agencies and commercial clients across defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure markets. The business is split into two segments: Federal Solutions, which provides cyber, missile-defense, space-ground, and other high-technology capabilities to the government; and Critical Infrastructure, which designs, builds, and operates transportation, water, and urban projects, increasingly leveraging AI/ML, digital twins, and electric-vehicle infrastructure.
Key metrics that investors watch include FY 2023 revenue of roughly $5.5 billion and an order backlog near $13 billion, indicating a multi-year pipeline. The segment’s growth is tied to two macro drivers: (1) sustained U.S. defense spending, which the Pentagon has raised by about 3 % YoY, and (2) the $1.2 trillion federal infrastructure investment plan, which fuels demand for transportation and water-system projects. Additionally, Parsons’ recent contracts in autonomous-vehicle integration and cloud-based mission support signal exposure to the expanding defense-tech and smart-city markets.
