Reason

Citizens JMP raised the firm's price target on Kratos Defense to $70 from $40 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm's discussions in the field and notable headlines point to key themes across the Aerospace & Defense sector that are likely to influence the company both in the near- and long-term, including the FY26 national defense budget request, Operation Spiderweb, marking a watershed moment in drone warfare, and national security alignment as a priority for commercial space operators, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citizens believes Kratos remains in the early innings of a long-term growth story.

Reason

Stifel raised the firm's price target on Kratos Defense to $70 from $54 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is raising its base EBITDA assumption to explicitly include a contribution from Valkyrie drones following "substantial developments" last week that it believes "establish a long-sought path" to full-scale production for the Valkyrie. The firm is also applying a higher multiple to reflect Kratos' diversifying growth drivers, the analyst tells investors.

Noble Capital raised the firm's price target on Kratos Defense to $60 from $44 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm says Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo last week removing restrictive policies on drone innovation. The agency's goals "play right into Kratos' wheelhouse," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Further, Noble believes the company's recent capital raise bring "additional optionality."

Strong Buy

Reason

As previously reported, Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage of Kratos Defense with an Overweight rating and $60 price target. The firm is also flagging Kratos as its Top Pick in the space due to its clear path of X-58 scaling and rapid growth of microwave electronics and munitions. While Cantor has seen significant run-ups in share price ahead of X-58's expected entry into services, it thinks this time market sentiment is under-appreciating the upside and sustainability of Kratos' growth algorithm, especially considering Group 4-5 drones as not a "winner take all" as implied by CCA, but part of a series of service-branch solutions where each drone fits each mission. In this setup, the firm especially likes the X-58 as U.S. force structure decisions move from survivable to attrition-derived outcomes.

Reason

RBC Capital analyst Ken Herbert raised the firm's price target on Kratos Defense to $50 from $38 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares as part of a broader research note offering a positive outlook for "small cap defense tech" names. The sector is poised for continued outperformance, driven by the growth in FY26 defense spending, idiosyncratic positioning in growth markets - including space, missiles, missile defense, hypersonics, unmanned, and AI - as well as some company specific valuation mismatches, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
