BofA Securities raises Amentum stock price target to $27 on nuclear exposure

Investing.com - BofA Securities raised its price target on Amentum Holdings Inc. (NYSE:AMTM) to $27.00 from $26.00 on Wednesday, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The company, currently trading at $25.65 with a market capitalization of $6.24 billion, has shown strong momentum with a 29.48% return over the past six months.

The price target increase reflects the market premium afforded to Amentum due to its nuclear exposure, according to BofA Securities. The firm acknowledged Amentum’s diverse portfolio and exposure to secular trends, including Trump Administration Department of Defense priorities and the Energy Trilemma.

BofA Securities views Amentum’s deleveraging and free cash flow improvement positively but noted that meaningful growth opportunities will take time to materialize for the company.

The firm anticipates that Amentum’s scale and scope strategy, along with the transition to more profitable contracts, will likely take several years to play out.

Despite the price target increase, BofA Securities maintained its Neutral rating on Amentum stock, suggesting a balanced view on the company’s near-term prospects.

In other recent news, Amentum Holdings LLC reported impressive financial results for the third quarter of 2025.

Despite these strong financial results, Amentum’s stock experienced a decline in pre-market trading, reflecting a complex investor sentiment. These developments highlight the company’s ongoing financial performance and market dynamics.
