Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak initiated coverage on Amentum Holdings, Inc. AMTM with a Neutral Rating, and a price forecast of $21.
Amentum Holdings, Inc. trades at a significant discount to peers, despite strong medium-term guidance and upbeat analyst estimates. The company's diversified revenue streams, huge backlog, and strategic alignment with Trump administration priorities protect it against potential DOGE cuts. As well as DOGE, high debt levels and spin-off-related issues currently pressure the stock, but the company is deleveraging, and the spin-off overhangs should clear eventually.
Amentum Holdings (AMTM) swung to a fourth-quarter profit but shares sank Tuesday when executives said in the company's earnings call that they see fiscal 2025 growth being affected by an expected winding down of certain government programs.
Amentum reported its inaugural quarterly results, with Q4 revenue that beat estimates by 3.6%, AEBITDA that beat by 8.7%, and margins of 7.8%, hitting the core tenants of Raymond James' initiation less than a month ago supporting the view of low-single to mid-single digit organic growth, margin expansion, and a highly visible stream of free cash flow to de-lever, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While the stock is giving up its gains since the initiation, the firm still sees meaningful upside, and says the selloff is creating a buying opportunity. Raymond James reiterates a Buy rating and $30 price target.
