Reason
KeyBanc initiated coverage of Karman with an Overweight rating and $80 price target. The firm believes Karman is among the best positioned to benefit from areas of secular growth that are being invested in heavily from both government and commercial players. In addition to rapidly expanding budgets and initiatives, Karman's position as a supplier for key defense and space platforms is advantageous given the Department of Defense's aggressive push to reshore the supply of key componentry, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Citi analyst John Godyn initiated coverage of Karman with a Buy rating and $84 price target. The firm launched coverage on 24 stocks in the aerospace and defense sector, saying the group faces a "number of megatrends" across commercial aerospace, defense, shipbuilding, and space. Citi sees these trends creating at least one trillion-dollar market cap company in the coming years. GE Aerospace could get there in as little as five years, Citi contends. The firm calls RTX "the Marquee Megatrend stock" and believes Boeing is an "unusually attractive mega-cap turnaround" story. The analyst expects improving trends in Q4 and continued momentum in Q1 for the sector.
