Description: PSN Parsons November 04, 2025
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) delivers integrated engineering and technology services across two primary segments: Federal Solutions, which supports U.S. government missions in cyber, missile defense, space, intelligence, and related high-tech domains; and Critical Infrastructure, which designs, builds, and modernizes transportation, water, and urban systems worldwide. Founded in 1944 and headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, the firm operates in North America, the Middle East, and other international markets.
In FY 2023 the company generated roughly $5.6 billion in revenue and reported an operating margin near 6%, with a backlog of about $14 billion-an indicator of future contract win-rate strength. Parsons’ growth is closely tied to two macro drivers: (1) the U.S. defense budget, which the Pentagon has projected to rise ~6% in FY 2024, fueling demand for cyber, space, and electronic warfare capabilities; and (2) the ongoing implementation of the U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which is boosting spending on transportation, water, and resilient infrastructure projects where Parsons’ expertise is a core fit. Additionally, the firm is expanding its AI/ML and digital-twin offerings, aligning with a sector-wide shift toward data-centric asset management.
