Investing.com - Truist Securities initiated coverage on Karman Holdings Inc (NYSE:KRMN) with a Buy rating and a price target of $89.00 on Friday. The company has demonstrated remarkable momentum, with a nearly 148% return over the past year and current trading at $74.51.
The price target represents a potential 19% upside from Karman Holdings’ current share price, according to Truist’s research note. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading above its Fair Value, with analysts’ targets ranging from $60 to $100.
Truist views Karman as "one of the optimal plays in the defense sector" positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the growing global missile and launch markets.
The firm cited Karman’s broad program exposure and its position as an "agnostic merchant supplier to nearly all major prime contractors" as factors that should enable above-average peer growth while maintaining strong margins.
While acknowledging that Karman shares "are not cheap," Truist justified the premium valuation based on the company’s "broad-based missile exposure, rapid revenue growth potential and superior returns."
