Key Headlines Impacting Unisys

Here are the key news stories impacting Unisys this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Sidoti sharply raised its FY2027 EPS view to $1.22 (from $0.81) and increased several quarterly forecasts, signaling a notably more constructive medium?term earnings outlook for Unisys. This guidance lift supports a stronger valuation case if execution keeps pace. Sidoti estimate changes
• Positive Sentiment: Sidoti also bumped multiple individual quarter estimates (examples: Q3 2026 to $0.88 and several 2027 quarters to the $0.22–$0.36 range), suggesting the firm expects improving profitability and momentum through 2026–2027. That can drive upside if revenue mix and margins improve as forecasted. Sidoti quarter-level changes
• Positive Sentiment: Needham reaffirmed a Buy rating and set a $4.00 price target (material upside from current levels), which provides an analyst?driven upside reference point that can attract investors looking for recovery plays. Needham reaffirmation
• Neutral Sentiment: Third?party commentary (Seeking Alpha) highlights Unisys as a structural value opportunity but warns of “trap” risk — useful context for investors weighing value vs. execution risk; this keeps sentiment mixed rather than outright bullish. Seeking Alpha analysis
• Negative Sentiment: Offsetting the positive revisions, Sidoti cut near?term estimates — notably Q1 2026 to a ($0.39) loss (from $0.11) and Q2 2026 to $0.08 (from $0.20) — which raises short?term execution risk and could keep the stock under pressure until results stabilize. Sidoti near-term cuts
• Positive Sentiment: Wall Street Zen / American Banking News published an upgrade/positive note, adding third?party confirmation that some investors/analysts view the name more favorably. This can support short?term buying interest. Wall Street Zen upgrade
