AMETEK INC/ · 2026-08-04 · Importance 46 · Surprise 40

Management said geopolitical uncertainties and volatile energy prices are increasing focus on defense modernization and energy security. AMETEK expects its Aerospace & Defense businesses to grow at a low-double-digit rate in 2026, supported by defense spending and the commercial aerospace cycle. The company reported rising demand from NATO allies in addition to stronger U.S. demand, and highlighted three new UAV program wins—one U.S.-based and two with NATO allies. Management also linked Power growth to grid expansion and energy-security investment.
