  • British defence and security company QinetiQ on Monday warned of delays in short-term contracts being awarded in the U.S. and UK, where new policies are being implemented after recent changes in government.

QinetiQ, a British defense technology company, has issued a warning about potential delays in the awarding of contracts from the UK and US governments, which could impact its financial performance. The company noted that while there is a strong demand for its services, the timing of contract awards remains uncertain, potentially affecting its revenue and profit forecasts for the year. This uncertainty stems from the complex procurement processes in both countries, which can be influenced by budget constraints, policy changes, and other governmental priorities. Despite these challenges, QinetiQ remains optimistic about its long-term growth prospects, supported by increasing defense budgets and the need for technological advancements in military applications.
