Amentum Stock Is Leading the S&P 500. What We Know. -- Barrons.com

Dow Jones00:10

By Emily Dattilo

Shares of Amentum Holdings, an engineering and technology solutions company, were trading sharply higher on Thursday.

The stock gained 11% to $24.77 in late morning trading, on track for its largest daily percentage increase since September, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It was also the best performer in the S&P 500.

If the name doesn't sound familiar, it's likely because shares only began regular-way trading on Sept. 30. Engineering and construction firm Jacobs Solutions announced on Sept. 27 the completion of the spin-off of its critical mission solutions and cyber and intelligence government services businesses, which it then merged with Amentum Parent Holdings, forming the independent, publicly-traded company.
