Can Amentum (AMTM) Keep the Earnings Surprise Streak Alive?
AMTM Amentum Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering Amentum Holdings (AMTM - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Engineering - R and D Services industry.

This government services company has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 2.67%.

For the most recent quarter, Amentum was expected to post earnings of $0.58 per share, but it reported $0.6 per share instead, representing a surprise of 3.45%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.53 per share, while it actually produced $0.54 per share, a surprise of 1.89%.

Price and EPS Surprise

Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for Amentum lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Amentum has an Earnings ESP of +3.18% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. The company's next earnings report is expected to be released on August 11, 2026.

Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Deep Isolation Nuclear Appoints Drilling Veteran Jon Tedrick to Lead World's First Full-scale Deep Borehole Disposal Demonstration
AMTM Amentum Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
BERKELEY, Calif., June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc. (“Deep Isolation” or the “Company”), a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal technology, today announced that Technology Demonstration Lead Jon Tedrick has relocated to Texas to support execution of the Company's demonstration program at the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center (DBDC) near Cameron, Texas. The relocation reflects Deep Isolation's commitment to establishing a strong field presence as the project progresses toward active operations.

The demonstration program is designed to validate key components of the Company's deep borehole disposal solution under representative field conditions. Earlier this year, Deep Isolation and its collaborators marked the launch of the project with a groundbreaking ceremony at the DBDC. Through the project, Deep Isolation plans to demonstrate the construction of a deep borehole repository using standard oil and gas drilling practices, full-scale canister emplacement and retrieval operations using its Universal Canister System (UCS), and simulated surface handling operations.

Tedrick's relocation coincides with Deep Isolation’s recent selection for the U.S. Department of Energy's ARPA-E SCALEUP Ready program, which is designed to accelerate promising energy technologies toward commercial deployment. The program provides up to $20 million to the Company to support testing and demonstration activities. The Deep Isolation project brings together a world-class team, including Westinghouse, NAC International (TYO: 7004), Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), Occlusion Nuclear Solutions, Amentum (NYSE: AMTM) and the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center, to demonstrate an integrated solution for the storage, transportation and permanent disposal of advanced reactor and nuclear recycling waste.

As Technology Demonstration Lead, Tedrick is responsible for coordinating field execution activities, supporting engagement with project collaborators and contractors, and helping oversee preparations for upcoming demonstration activities at the Cameron site. Tedrick brings more than 28 years of drilling and project management experience spanning mining, geothermal, environmental and energy applications, including leadership of major drilling programs for the U.S. Department of Energy.

"The Cameron demonstration program is an important milestone in our path to commercialization and a critical opportunity to validate our technology at full scale,” said Rod Baltzer, CEO of Deep Isolation. "As we move closer to field execution, having Jon on the ground strengthens on-site coordination and helps ensure we are prepared to successfully deliver this first-of-its-kind demonstration. His extensive drilling and project leadership experience will be invaluable as we advance toward active operations."

"Throughout my career, I have worked on complex drilling projects across the energy, mining and environmental sectors, but few have combined this level of technical innovation with such an important mission," said Tedrick. "Relocating to Texas allows me to work closely with our field team as we prepare for the next phase of execution. I am excited to help demonstrate how proven drilling technologies can be applied to address one of the nuclear industry's most significant challenges."

As interest in advanced nuclear energy continues to grow, the need for practical, scalable solutions for the management and disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste has become increasingly important. Supported by ARPA-E's SCALEUP Ready program and a consortium of leading industry collaborators, the Cameron project is designed to advance the technical, operational and regulatory foundations needed for future deployment of an integrated solution for the storage, transportation and permanent disposal of advanced reactor and nuclear recycling waste.

About Deep Isolation

Deep Isolation is the first company to undertake development of technologies for nuclear waste disposal in deep boreholes. When commercialized, Deep Isolation’s solution will offer a unique solution to help countries identify, plan for and complete the necessary steps to dispose of their nuclear waste inventories. With over 100 patents issued to date, Deep Isolation’s technology is being designed to leverage proven drilling practices to allow safe isolation of waste deep underground in horizontal, vertical, or slanted borehole repositories. Deep Isolation’s Universal Canister System was developed through a three-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy and is engineered to support integrated management of spent fuel and high-level radioactive waste from legacy and advanced reactors across storage, transportation, and eventual disposal. In January 2026, Deep Isolation launched a full-scale, at-depth deep borehole Commercialization Pilot for its solution at Cameron, Texas, in collaboration with the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center, Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), Amentum (NYSE: AMTM), NAC International, and Occlusion Nuclear Solutions.

Deep Isolation Nuclear Selected for ARPA-E SCALEUP Award to Advance Universal Canister System and Deep Borehole Disposal
AMTM Amentum Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
BERKELEY, Calif., April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deep Isolation Nuclear, Inc. (“Deep Isolation” or the “Company”), a leading innovator in nuclear waste disposal technology, today announced it was selected for the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E SCALEUP Ready program, supporting the commercial deployment of its Universal Canister System (UCS) for integrated nuclear waste management. SCALEUP Ready is ARPA-E’s latest initiative to accelerate technologies toward market adoption and committed up to $40 million to support two projects, including the Deep Isolation project. Read more: ARPA-E Announcement.

The SCALEUP program bridges the gap between pilot-scale demonstration and full commercial deployment, providing funding and support to validate first-of-a-kind energy technologies. For Deep Isolation, the award would enable full-scale field testing of the UCS, including regulatory validation and demonstration of deep borehole disposal using a nonradioactive Commercial Pilot in Cameron, Texas.

The project brings together a world-class project team, including Westinghouse, NAC International, Halliburton (NYSE: HAL), Occlusion Nuclear Solutions, Amentum (NYSE: AMTM), and the Deep Borehole Demonstration Center (“the DBDC”), to demonstrate a fully integrated and permanent solution for advanced reactor and nuclear recycling waste. Westinghouse will serve as the launch customer, working with Deep Isolation and its supply chain partners to secure certification from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to enable the UCS to store and transport spent fuel from its eVinci™ microreactor. Halliburton will lead borehole construction, Occlusion will manage subsurface operations, NAC will lead UCS fabrication, surface operations, and licensing, and Amentum will oversee operational safety and quality assurance, ensuring the system is ready for commercial deployment.

“Being selected for this award is the single biggest milestone in Deep Isolation’s history,” said Rod Baltzer, President and CEO at Deep Isolation. “It validates years of pioneering work on the Universal Canister System and positions us to deliver the world’s first full-scale, end-to-end, commercial-ready deep borehole disposal solution. We are creating a deployable, regulatory-approved system that will transform how the world manages nuclear waste safely, efficiently, and permanently.”

“The integration of UCS with our eVinci™ microreactor technology provides a comprehensive solution for managing spent nuclear fuel through its entire lifecycle,” said Dr. Lou Martinez Sancho, Westinghouse Chief Technology Officer. “This partnership showcases the impact of innovation, where we are merging our next-generation nuclear technology with a reliable, economical and adaptable method for handling nuclear waste. The Commercial Pilot will generate valuable insights which will set the stage for wider adoption and global confidence in advanced nuclear solutions.”

“Deep boreholes have long been considered a promising solution for spent nuclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste disposal. Amentum is excited to work with Deep Isolation and its collaborators to move this concept toward commercialization and turn it into a practical reality.” said Mark Whitney, President Energy & Environment at Amentum.

The UCS SCALEUP project advances critical national priorities, supporting Executive Order 14302, which directs the Department of Energy to strengthen U.S. nuclear energy leadership and develop permanent solutions for spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste. The project directly aligns with ARPA-E’s mission to improve radioactive waste management and maintain U.S. technological leadership in advanced energy technologies.

About Deep Isolation
Deep Isolation is the first company to undertake development of technologies for nuclear waste disposal in deep boreholes. When commercialized, Deep Isolation’s solution will offer a uniquely tailored approach to help countries identify, plan for, and complete the necessary steps to dispose of their nuclear waste inventories. With 99 patents issued to date, the technology leverages proven drilling practices to safely isolate waste deep underground in horizontal, vertical, or slanted borehole repositories.

GAAP Results

Revenues of $3,478 million were consistent year-over-year driven by the ramp-up of new contract awards in high demand areas including critical digital infrastructure and space systems and technologies; partially offset by an approximately 3% impact due to contract transitions from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures and divestitures. Operating income increased as a result of strong operational performance and decreased intangible amortization expense. Net income and diluted earnings per share improved year-over-year, supported by higher operating income and lower interest expense due to debt repayments.

Non-GAAP Results

Adjusted EBITDA of $275 million reflects Adjusted EBITDA Margins of 7.9%, up from 7.7% in the prior year quarter, driven by continued progress on our margin expansion initiatives and strong operational performance. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share increased primarily as a result of the strong operational performance and lower interest expense.

Digital Solutions revenues increased 10% year-over-year driven by the ramp-up of new contract awards in our critical digital infrastructure and space systems and technologies accelerating growth markets, partially offset by the fiscal year 2025 divestiture of Rapid Solutions. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2% year-over-year due to the divestiture and higher net program write-ups in the prior year quarter, partially offset by the increased revenue volume.

Global Engineering Solutions revenues decreased 7% year-over-year due to contract transitions from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures, a fiscal year 2025 divestiture, and the expected ramp-down of other historical programs; partially offset by the ramp up of new contract awards. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% year-over-year as a result of continued progress on our margin expansion initiatives.

Cash Flow Summary

In the second quarter, Amentum generated $225 million of net cash from operating activities and used $18 million and $24 million in investing and financing activities, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was driven by strong cash earnings, disciplined working capital management, and benefited from one less pay cycle compared to the prior year quarter. Net cash used in investing activities included $3 million in net contributions to equity method investments, $5 million in capital expenditures, and $8 million in working capital settlements for prior year divestitures. Net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of $10 million in principal payments on our Term Loan and $12 million of distributions to non-controlling interests. As of April 3, 2026, Amentum had $428 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4 billion of gross debt.

On April 24, 2026, we completed an amendment to our credit agreement enhancing our capital structure. The transaction included a new $1.4 billion Term Loan A, with proceeds used to reduce outstanding borrowings and refinance our existing Term Loan B. In addition, we increased our revolving credit facility to $1.0 billion. The amendment also repriced our debt, lowering our weighted average cost of debt and annual interest expense. Collectively, these actions strengthen our liquidity, improve financial flexibility, and support the path to our target leverage profile.

Backlog and Contract Awards

As of April 3, 2026, the Company had total backlog of $47.8 billion, compared with $44.8 billion as of March 28, 2025, an annual increase of 7% driven by $17.2 billion in net bookings and 1.2x book-to-bill. Funded backlog as of April 3, 2026 was $6.9 billion.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This release contains or incorporates by reference statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, could be interpreted to be “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may be characterized by terminology such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “target,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “predict,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including projections of financial performance; statements of plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statement concerning developments, performance or industry rankings relating to products or services; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; any statements regarding industry and market trends; and any other statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company intends, expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others: changes in U.S. or global economic, financial, business and political conditions, including changes to governmental budgetary priorities and tariffs and the ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East; our ability to comply with the various procurement and other laws and regulations; risks associated with contracts with governmental entities; reviews and audits by the U.S. government and others; changes to our professional reputation and relationship with government agencies; the occurrence of an accident or safety incident; the ability of the Company to control costs, meet performance requirements or contractual schedules, compete effectively or implement its business strategy; the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel, and retain and engage key customers and suppliers; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the 2024 transaction with Jacobs Solutions Inc.; potential liabilities associated with shareholder litigation or other settlements or investigations; evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes; and other factors set forth under Item 1A, Risk Factors in the annual report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”), and from time to time in documents that we file with the SEC. The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. For additional information on identifying factors that may cause actual results to vary materially from those stated in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we assume no obligation to update or revise such statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release includes the presentation and discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage, which are not measures of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures should be considered only as supplements to, and should not be considered in isolation or used as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management of the Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and, where applicable, the reconciliations herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information to management, investors and other users of the Company’s financial information in evaluating operating results and understanding operating trends by adjusting for the effects of items we do not consider to be indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance, the inclusion of which can obscure underlying trends. Additionally, management of the Company uses such measures in its evaluation of business performance, particularly when comparing performance to past periods, and believes these measures are useful for investors because they facilitate a comparison of financial results from period to period. The computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.

Definitions of applicable non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided elsewhere in this release.

In addition to the above non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has included backlog, net bookings, and book-to-bill in this release. Backlog is an operational measure representing the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts, and net bookings represent the change in backlog between reporting periods plus reported revenues for the period. Book-to-bill represents net bookings divided by reported revenues for the same period. We believe these metrics are useful for investors because they are an important measure of business development performance and are used by management to conduct and evaluate its business during its regular review of operating results.

AMENTUM HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The presentation and discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage are not measures of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures should be considered only as supplements to, and should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company. The computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders adjusted for interest expense and other, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excludes the following discrete items:

Acquisition, transaction, and integration costs – Represents acquisition, transaction and integration costs, including severance, retention, and other adjustments related to acquisition and integration activities. Amortization of intangibles – Represents the amortization of intangible assets. Divestitures – Represents divestiture gains and losses. Utilization of certain fair market value adjustments assigned in purchase accounting – Represents the periodic utilization of the fair market value adjustments assigned to certain equity method investments and non-controlling interests based on the remaining period of performance for the related contract. Stock-based compensation – Represents non-cash compensation expenses recognized for stock-based arrangements. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders excluding the discrete items listed under Adjusted EBITDA and the related tax impacts.

Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Free Cash Flow is defined as GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, Free Cash Flow was $220 million, consisting of $225 million of GAAP cash flow provided by operating activities less $5 million of purchases of property and equipment.

Net Leverage is defined as GAAP total debt (excluding unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs) less cash and cash equivalents, divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. For the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, Net Leverage was 3.2x, consisting of $3,988 million of total debt less $428 million of cash and cash equivalents, divided by the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA of $1,112 million.

Amentum Holdings (AMTM) Tops Q2 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
AMTM Amentum Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Amentum Holdings (AMTM - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.6 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.58 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.53 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.90%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this government services company would post earnings of $0.53 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.54, delivering a surprise of +1.89%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Amentum, which belongs to the Zacks Engineering - R and D Services industry, posted revenues of $3.48 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.02%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $3.49 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Amentum shares have lost about 15.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.1%.

What's Next for Amentum?While Amentum has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Amentum was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.62 on $3.61 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.42 on $14.13 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Engineering - R and D Services is currently in the top 38% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Shimmick Corporation (SHIM - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 14.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.06 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +72.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Shimmick Corporation's revenues are expected to be $131.3 million, up 7.5% from the year-ago quarter.

The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.48 billion, representing a surprise of +0.02%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +3.9%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $0.58.

While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.

AMTM Amentum Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Bargain Alert on 3 Stocks Investors Have OversoldAmentum NYSE: AMTM reported what executives described as solid second-quarter fiscal 2026 results, supported by growth in key markets, strong bookings and a rebound in free cash flow.

CEO John Heller said the company delivered revenue of $3.5 billion in the quarter, reflecting normalized growth of 3%. Adjusted EBITDA was $275 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.9%, while adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 13% year over year to $0.60. Free cash flow totaled $220 million.

2 Essential Data Center Solutions Providers Riding the AI Boom Heller opened the call by recognizing Amentum employees supporting customers globally, including teams in the Middle East. He also congratulated NASA, Amentum employees and industry partners on the successful Artemis II mission, calling it an example of the company’s long-running relationship with NASA.

Bookings and backlog reach new highs Amentum reported $4 billion in net bookings during the quarter, producing a quarterly and last-12-months book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 times. Heller said ending backlog reached nearly $48 billion, up 7% from the prior-year quarter and an all-time high for the company. Funded backlog was $6.9 billion, up 20% year over year.

The company also reported more than $20 billion in first-half submits, putting it on track to exceed its fiscal 2026 target of $35 billion. Amentum ended the quarter with $26 billion in proposals awaiting award, about 65% of which represented new business to the company.

Heller highlighted several second-quarter awards, including:

A 14-year, $406 million contract from Great British Nuclear to an Amentum-led joint venture supporting small modular reactors in the United Kingdom. A two-year, $112 million European Commission Joint Research Centre contract for decommissioning and waste management solutions. A five-year, $425 million contract from CAL FIRE for aviation fleet sustainment using predictive analytics and data-driven tools. Multiple intelligence contracts totaling more than $300 million. More than $600 million in critical digital infrastructure awards tied to telecom, hyperscaler and national security customers. In response to a question from Morgan Stanley’s Greg Parrish, Heller said the company believes its book-to-bill can remain consistent with recent levels, supported by more than $35 billion in expected bids this year. He said bidding activity in fiscal 2026 is also important for positioning Amentum for fiscal 2027.

Digital infrastructure identified as growth driver Amentum used part of the call to outline its opportunity in critical digital infrastructure, which Heller said is being driven by demand for artificial intelligence, data and mission-critical applications across commercial and government markets.

Heller said Amentum’s work in the area focuses on smart commercial infrastructure and data centers, next-generation digital connectivity, and cyber and network defense. He said the company supports hyperscalers in retrofitting legacy data centers for AI workloads and also works on large-scale wireless and fiber network deployments.

Chief Operating Officer Steve Arnette said Amentum is not a new entrant in telecom-related infrastructure, describing it as a business the company has built for more than a decade. He said the company supports major telecom providers with capacity planning, engineering and deployment across population centers.

Heller said Amentum’s capabilities in data transmission, data center support and cybersecurity are being applied to commercial markets as AI-related demand grows.

Segment performance and margins CFO Travis Johnson said Digital Solutions revenue was $1.5 billion, up 10%, driven by new contract awards in critical digital infrastructure and space systems and technologies. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $105 million, with margins of 7.2%. Johnson said adjusted EBITDA was slightly lower year over year due to a fiscal 2025 divestiture, timing factors related to new program starts and higher net write-ups in the prior-year quarter.

Global Engineering Solutions revenue was $2 billion, reflecting impacts from joint venture transitions, a divestiture and expected ramp-downs on certain historical programs, partly offset by new awards. Adjusted EBITDA was $170 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin improved 100 basis points year over year to 8.5%.

Johnson told Parrish that margin improvement in Global Engineering Solutions was driven by a focus on higher-margin work, a higher mix of fixed-price work, disciplined program execution, stronger joint venture performance and cost synergy initiatives. He said most of the drivers appear sustainable, although timing of program write-ups can vary from quarter to quarter.

Capital structure and fiscal 2026 outlook Johnson said free cash flow of $220 million in the second quarter benefited from recovered collections, consistent with the company’s prior commentary. First-half free cash flow was $78 million, which he said was in line with expectations.

After quarter end, Amentum issued a new $1.4 billion Term Loan A facility and used the proceeds to pay down and reprice its Term Loan B. The company also increased revolving credit capacity to $1 billion. Johnson said those actions, along with a Moody’s rating upgrade in December, reduced the company’s weighted average cost of debt by about 50 basis points.

Amentum reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 guidance, including revenue of $13.95 billion to $14.3 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 billion to $1.14 billion, adjusted diluted EPS of $2.25 to $2.45 and free cash flow of $525 million to $575 million.

Johnson said the company remains on track to achieve net leverage below three times by the end of the fiscal year. In response to Truist’s Tobey Sommer, he said future capital deployment could include organic investments, accretive mergers and acquisitions, further debt reduction or capital returns to shareholders, depending on the circumstances.

NASA, nuclear and portfolio outlook Arnette said Amentum remains enthusiastic about NASA’s Artemis program and is already working on hardware processing for Artemis III. He said a NASA workforce directive to incrementally insource some expertise is expected to have an immaterial effect on fiscal 2026 results and an estimated roughly 1% revenue impact in fiscal 2027, with a smaller impact on EBITDA.

On nuclear opportunities, Heller said Amentum is in discussions on multiple U.S. projects, including those involving small modular reactor technologies. He said he expects a number of nuclear projects to move from design and theoretical stages toward practical construction in the second half of the year and into 2027.

Asked by RBC Capital Markets analyst Kevin Liu about further divestitures, Heller said the company has been pleased with its overall portfolio but will continue to assess its businesses through its normal strategic planning process, including whether portfolio changes could support growth or margin expansion.

Pre-Market Stock Futures: Futures are trading mixed on Wednesday, after a rough day for technology stocks and the Nasdaq. The combination of the prospect of a longer struggle with Iran, and higher inflation, which soared to 3.8% annually, the highest since May 2023, while the core number, which is less food and energy, rose to 2.8%, all but assuring that the Federal Reserve will be forced to hold rates higher for longer. Despite outstanding first-quarter earnings results, which are all but over, the market is heavily overbought and likely could use a breather. The Russell 2000 was the big loser on Tuesday, closing down 0.93% at 2,844, while the aforementioned Nasdaq closed down 0.71% at 26,011. The S&P 500 finished at 7,400, down 0.16%, while the only index to finish higher was the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which finished the session at 49,760, up 0.11%.

Treasury Bonds: The minute the bond market got a whiff of the inflation numbers, the selling came in fast and furious. Savvy traders knew right away that the potential for rate cuts had likely been pushed out to the end of the year, if at all. When the dust settled on Tuesday, the yield on the 30-year-long Treasury bond had jumped to 5.03% while the benchmark 10-year note ended trading at 4.46%.

Oil and Gas: The energy complex saw prices shoot higher once again, as growing concerns over supply, the collapse of the peace negotiations, and an Iranian proposal that the President deemed as “stupid” all contributed to the ongoing melt-up. When trading closed, Brent Crude ended the session at $107.80, up 3.48%, while West Texas Intermediate was last seen up 4.37% at $102.40. Natural gas actually finished down 2.51% at $2.84. 

Gold: Gold also had a rough day after starting the week strong, but finished way off the lows of the day at $4,713, down 0.45%. ING’s energy strategist predicted that turbulence in precious metals will likely continue in the near term, but they expect gold to reach $5,000 by the end of the year. Silver, which has been on fire, took a breather but closed higher, up 0.66% at $86.64. 

Crypto: On Tuesday, the crypto markets pulled back broadly, with Bitcoin trading in the $80,000–$81,000 range and running into resistance at its 200-day exponential moving average. Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, and other altcoins were similarly under pressure as investors digested the unsettling inflation numbers. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin was trading at $80,640, while Ethereum was quoted at $2,305.

From Cold War Liability to Advanced Nuclear Fuel
AMTM Amentum Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has selected Oklo Inc. (OKLO) and four other nuclear companies for advanced negotiations under the Surplus Plutonium Utilization Program. The program aims to convert surplus plutonium into fuel for next-generation reactors, creating a bridge fuel option that can accelerate deployment while new domestic enrichment and fabrication capacity comes online. This development highlights a new fuel pathway for advanced reactor developers and the important role of established operators at government-owned plutonium facilities.

Key Takeaways The DOE selected Oklo and four other companies to work on converting surplus plutonium into usable fuel for next-generation reactors. Companies that operate government-owned plutonium processing and handling facilities are well positioned to support these utilization programs. Many nuclear strategies are tilted to uranium mining and have only modest weightings to companies seeing opportunities around plutonium. Plutonium is a radioactive element historically produced for defense programs and stored by the government as a legacy of the Cold War. Rather than treating these surplus stockpiles as a long-term storage obligation, the DOE is now pursuing a ‘disposition-through-use’ approach. This converts the surplus material into fuel for next-generation reactors, effectively turning a long-standing liability into a practical, near-term fuel source.

The VettaFi Nuclear Renaissance Index (NUKZX) includes reactor developers, facility operators, and supply chain companies positioned to benefit from these plutonium utilization developments. NUKZX serves as the underlying index for the Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF (NUKZ).

Oklo & 4 Peers Selected for Plutonium-to-Fuel Pathways The Surplus Plutonium Utilization Program will provide up to 20 metric tons of surplus plutonium from past defense programs. Instead of treating the material as a long-term storage obligation, the DOE is making it available for conversion into reactor fuel, under strict security, safeguards, and accountability requirements. This disposition-through-use approach provides a practical near-term fuel bridge for advanced reactor designs that can utilize plutonium-based fuels.

Oklo was selected alongside Exodys Energy, SHINE Technologies, Standard Nuclear, and Flibe Energy. Oklo will leverage its partnership with European advanced reactor developer Newcleo. Under the partnership, Oklo will lead utilization efforts while Newcleo contributes fuel expertise and potential project capital, subject to final agreements. 

Fluor & Amentum Positioned Through Existing Facility Operations Successful execution of these plutonium-to-fuel efforts will rely on companies already operating key government-owned facilities that process and handle plutonium. At the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, Fluor (FLR) leads Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. This is the management and operations contractor responsible for safe oversight of nuclear materials and defense programs, including plutonium-related work and construction of the Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility. 

Amentum (AMTM) participates through the Savannah River Mission Completion consortium, contributing to nuclear materials management, remediation, and mission execution at the site. These established operational roles give Fluor and Amentum direct experience with the secure handling infrastructure that can support expanded plutonium utilization programs.

NUKZX vs. Uranium-Heavy Approaches The program creates opportunities across engineering, site operations, component supply, and fuel-related services, rather than concentrating benefits solely in primary uranium production. Many nuclear indexes maintain heavy allocations to uranium mining companies that stand to benefit less directly if surplus plutonium becomes a scalable fuel source. 

In contrast, NUKZX includes a broader mix of reactor developers such as Oklo, engineering and construction firms like Fluor, service providers including Amentum, and component manufacturers such as BWX Technologies (BWXT) and Curtiss-Wright (CW). This diversified composition positions NUKZX to capture value from both fuel pathways and the supporting infrastructure required to execute them.

Amentum: The Mispriced Architect Of Edge AI And Nuclear Defense
AMTM Amentum Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Amentum Holdings rated Strong Buy, driven by transformation into an advanced engineering monopsony controlling key nuclear, defense, and AI infrastructure bottlenecks. AMTM's forward catalysts include Deep Isolation's borehole nuclear waste disposal, integration of CG-SEA software into missile defense, and bridging DoD-grade cybersecurity for hyperscalers. Reaffirmed FY2026 guidance (revenue $13.95–$14.3B, adj. EBITDA $1.1–$1.14B, FCF $525–$575M) and sub-3x net leverage by FY2026 may enable aggressive capital returns.
