What believers are saying

- New Federal Drive headquarters opened May 19, 2026, supporting hiring and delivery capacity.
- Pete Brady's May 22, 2025 growth appointment strengthens capture against Air Force competitors.
What critics are saying
- Defense contract concentration leaves Apogee exposed to AFLCMC recompete losses by 2031.
