KBR is a global engineering and technology services company serving government and commercial clients across defense logistics, space programs, and energy infrastructure. The company carries a $23 billion backlog bolstered by a prolific contract-winning streak — including Army LOGCAP work, a 10-year Saudi polymer plant deal, a UK heavy armor transport contract, and Iraq's Majnoon Oil Field award — yet the market has consistently treated these wins as priced in. Today's flat session near the 52-week low, despite a new digital engineering strategy announcement for the U.S. military, underscores how the stock remains weighed down by last week's institutional stake liquidation.
