Amentum Holdings Inc's stock rose by 5.07% as it crossed above the 5-day SMA, reflecting positive investor sentiment amid mixed market conditions.
This increase is attributed to Amentum's successful execution of the Countdown Demonstration Test for Artemis II at Kennedy Space Center, showcasing its leadership in high-consequence launch operations. The test involved over 300 personnel and highlighted Amentum's technical capabilities in complex engineering systems, further solidifying its position in the aerospace sector as Artemis II is expected to launch by April 2026.
The implications of this successful test are significant for Amentum, as it not only enhances the company's reputation in the aerospace industry but also lays a strong foundation for future growth opportunities in space exploration.

Reason
BofA raised the firm's price target on Amentum to $30 from $27 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm cites improved investor sentiment and the company's market premium for its nuclear exposure for the target increase. Amentum benefits from a nuclear premium, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Heading into 2026, BofA expects defense and intelligence funding to remain strong, while civilian agency funding "remains a question mark."

BTIG raised the firm's price target on Amentum to $35 from $30 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The company's legacy verticals - RDT&E, Intelligence Operations & Analysis, Homeland Security/Border Protection, Environmental Remediation, and Defense Engineering, Logistics & Modernization - generate $10B in sales with mid-to-high single digit margins and low-to-mid single digit growth, and this core foundation enables expansion into high-growth areas like Space Systems & Technologies, Critical Digital Infrastructure, and Global Nuclear Energy, which are expected to grow faster and drive overall margin expansion due to their accretive nature, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Cantor Fitzgerald raised the firm's price target on Amentum to $40 from $35 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The quarter's beat looks solid, with growth outpacing expectations and FY26 guidance that appears deliberately conservative, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The more meaningful takeaway, though, is how guidance compares with buy-side assumptions and the way the new CFO is reshaping the outlook, Cantor says.
