Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • H1 2026 delivered double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth with cash generation ahead of last year.
  • Booz Allen closed Ultra Mission Solutions on August 24, 2026, validating the product portfolio.
  • Ultra Maritime won fresh U.S. Navy development work and continued 2026 allied naval demand.

What critics are saying

  • Cobham Ultra sold Ultra PCS, Ultra Cyber, and Ultra I&C Mission Solutions in 2026.
  • Lockheed’s $3.45 billion Ultra Maritime deal removes Ultra’s crown-jewel undersea warfare engine.
  • After 2027, Cobham Ultra risks becoming a hollow shell of divested assets and shrinking relevance.

What makes Ultra unique

  • Ultra’s sonar, torpedo-defense, and command-and-control systems dominate allied anti-submarine warfare programs.
  • Its Apex, ADSI, ACTS, Rain, and Knox stack secures disconnected battlefield data movement.
  • Ultra’s U.S. and allied customer base creates sticky, long-cycle defense contracts and switching costs.
