TYSONS CORNER, VA, September 3,  2015 — Ross Wilkers, newsroom editor at Executive Mosaic, spoke with Federal News Radio Thursday to overview the August movements in the GovCon Index, Executive Mosaic’s composite stock index of 30 publicly-traded firms in the U.S. government contracting industry.In that segment aired Thursday, Wilkers and “In Depth” program host Francis Rose discussed how August’s volatility in U.S. and global markets affected the GovCon Index and how close it came to officially being in a correction.
Wilkers and Rose also examined this week’s news that Computer Sciences Corp.’s U.S. public sector spinoff and SRA International would merge once the future “CSCGov” separates from CSC and how historically-low interest rates are a driver behind 2015’s high volume of merger-and-acquisition deals in the GovCon and defense sector.
