Even with a 71/100 (B-) score, IA faces multiple-compression risk if 24.8x trailing P/E re-rate toward historical sector medians or if hyperscaler/enterprise customer concentration slows in upcoming 10-Q filings.
Broader market pullbacks can still drag down strong stocks in the short run.
Dilution & Margin Drag: Cannibal Buyback (-0.88% YoY Shares) — any gross margin slip below 45.6% triggers an automatic RQD downgrade.
Technical & Forensic Kill-Switch: A daily close below the 50D SMA ($19.36) or 200D SMA ($20.57) invalidates the momentum regime and cuts Target Base ($21.99) toward Bear Floor ($17.03).

Per the Roarable RQD rating, IA scores 71 out of 100 (letter grade B-, verdict "Roarable Buy — Sound Institutional Accumulation"). The five pillars are:
For a prospective investor, the upside drivers are the high ROIC and the strong balance-sheet scores. The valuation tradeoff is visible in the market data: trailing P/E of 24.8 and EV/EBITDA of 15.6 against a 1.75% FCF yield means the price already embeds meaningful growth expectations. The stock also moved from a 52-week low of $8.13 to a high of $30.94, so recent price momentum is large and the current price of $21.64 sits well inside that range. The verdict label reflects the composite score; it is not personalized advice, and the pillar detail above should be weighed against the open questions at the end of this dossier.
| Period | Revenue | Operating Income | Net Income | EPS | FCF | Cash | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2025 | $84.3M | $20.1M | $15.6M | N/A | $6.8M | $8.3M | $21.1M |
| FY 2024 | $47.2M | $9.7M | $7.0M | N/A | $5.1M | $0.6M | $26.5M |
| FY 2023 | $0.0M | $7.4M | $6.0M | N/A | $2.1M | N/A | N/A |
Per the SEC financials, revenue rose from $47.2M in FY 2024 to $84.3M in FY 2025, and net income rose from $7.0M to $15.6M. Per the market data, operating margin is 23.8%, net margin is 18.5%, and ROIC is 19.4%. Per the RQD pillar detail, the Altman Z-Score is 7.85 and the Piotroski F-Score is 7 of 9. Per the SEC financials, debt declined from $26.5M to $21.1M while cash rose from $0.6M to $8.3M, and the RQD pillar detail reports Debt/Equity of 0.31. The FY 2023 revenue figure of $0.0M and missing cash and debt values limit longer-run trend analysis.

Welcome to the IA (Innovative Solutions and Support Inc.) Roar Pit. Current RQD Composite is 71/100 (Roarable Buy — Sound Institutional Accumulation) in EDP Services. Bulls point to capital efficiency (19.4% ROIC), while bears focus on macro rate sensitivity and margin execution. Pick your side (🐂 Bull or 🐻 Bear) and drop your price target below.
Everyone in here is repeating the bull case on IA, but look at what you are paying: 24.8x trailing P/E with 48.1% gross margins. Unless Innovative Solutions and Support Inc. expands free cash flow yield next quarter, I would rather wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before touching this.
Looking at the 5-pillar RQD breakdown on IA, the market is fixating on short-term headline noise in EDP Services and ignoring the balance sheet and cash flow trajectory. At $21.64 (52-wk range $8.13 - $30.94), any beat on forward guidance forces shorts and underweight funds to chase.
