• Strategic Repositioning Through Spin-Off: KBR is undergoing a significant transformation by spinning off its Mission Technology Solutions (MTS) segment.

• High miss probability: Latest emissions intensity 920 gCO₂e per RTK (YE 2024) vs 851 target for 2025. A 7.5% one‑year cut after flat 2024. Base case miss and event-driven opportunity. 
• Catalyst within months: The observation window ends YE 2025. Coupons adjust (up to +75bps) from May 2026 on the 2026s and over 2027-2028 on the 2028s, creating a tradable window.

• STS is asset-light with strong FCF and IP-driven growth, while MTS is capital-intensive with long-term government contracts; independence allows each to tailor capital allocation and pursue targeted M&A.
