Amentum price target raised to $30 from $24 at Truist

Truist raised the firm’s price target on Amentum (AMTM) to $30 from $24 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of an earnings preview on Government Services companies. The firm expects an overhang from a historically weak procurement environment to negatively affect business-to-businesses in Q2, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The new administration has made streamlining commercial software and services a priority to reduce costs, and Truist plans to focus this earnings season on on potential ramifications from the procurement shift. The firm anticipates the two most consequential projects in the early stages of the new admin will be FAA air traffic control and Golden Dome, both for the size of project and the speed of procurement.
