Booz Allen Hamilton, a US consulting firm, held USD 334m in cash at the end of Q3 2026, against USD 816m a year earlier. Revenue in the quarter was USD 2.8bn, down 3.9% from USD 2.9bn. Operating profit fell to USD 245m from USD 283m. Net profit still rose to USD 181m from USD 175m. The figures are consolidated under US GAAP. Profit moved up, while sales, operating profit and cash all moved down, which is an unusual combination to find in one quarter.
Cash is a balance on a single day, so on its own it says little about the quality of earnings. Total assets grew to USD 8.3bn from USD 7.2bn, and equity rose to USD 1.2bn, lifting the equity ratio to 15.0% from 13.9%. The balance sheet grew while the cash line shrank. The accounts do not show where the cash went. I would watch the cash line. Profit went up, but the cash did not stay to see it.
