Company Overview Metric Value Price (as of Wednesday) $29.86 Market Capitalization $7.28 billion Revenue (TTM) $14.39 billion Net Income (TTM) $66.00 million Company Snapshot Amentum Holdings provides mission-critical, technology-driven services across two segments: Critical Mission Solutions (missile defense, IT, engineering, energy solutions) and Cyber & Intelligence (cyber training, data analytics, secure communications).
