If you believe LDOS can sustain its current profitability and modest growth without re-rating to VRSN's much higher margin model, then hold or only selectively add, because the historical band and DCF range already bracket the current price far more tightly than VRSN-implied valuation does.
LDOS trades at a large discount to VRSN on P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue, but the gap is explained by very different business economics. VRSN deserves a premium for its far higher margins, while LDOS looks cheap on absolute multiples because it is a lower-margin, lower-growth government-services business.
