Compass Verdict

Is Karman Holdings Inc. (NYSE:KRMN) a buy in 2026?

Hold. Karman Holdings Inc. is a wait-and-watch at today's price, not a fresh buy.

A genuine missile-defense pure-play riding the hypersonics wave, but 60x forward earnings already pays you to be patient.

Where KRMN is headed

Karman is the closest thing the public market has to a pure-play bet on the physical hardware of American missile defense. Payload fairings, interstages, nozzles, propulsion casings, the boring but unglamorous plumbing (wrong word, the actual componentry) that sits between a warhead and a target, or a satellite and orbit. Every hypersonic interceptor the Pentagon wants to field, every Golden Dome architecture study, every LEO constellation launch, drives content per vehicle for a company like this. Revenue up 51% trailing, next-year growth forecast at 57.8%, and that is before the Golden Dome procurement cycle actually hits contract awards in earnest.
