Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.

Investor context
  • $GD reported $42.3B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 11 past awards, $138K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $JCI reported $22.3B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 11 past awards, $138K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $T reported $122.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 11 past awards, $138K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
