What believers are saying

  • Amentum's recent $490M contract with the U.S. Navy and $145M contract with the U.S. Marine Corps highlight its strong position and trust within the defense sector.
  • The planned merger with Jacobs' Critical Mission Solutions and Cyber Intelligence businesses could significantly expand Amentum's capabilities and market reach.
