BEARISH
News Sentiment
69
BULLISH
AMTM is a momentum laggard on the 1D chart: a Technical Score of 14 with declining momentum and weak trend strength. The score ranks stocks against each other, so a reading this low says Amentum Holdings, Inc. has been one of the weaker performers in the universe, not that it is oversold. Sentiment at 69 is diverging from that weakness. $19.26 is the level a recovery would need to reclaim, and $17.41 is the next downside reference below $17.78. A bottom momentum rank reflects the prior year of trading, so it changes gradually even when the stock has a strong week. For near-term direction, price levels give the earlier read: a close back above $19.26 on real volume would be the first sign of repair, while a break of $17.78 keeps the bearish trend in charge.

Behaviour On Record

What AMTM's own history says about today's numbers

Realized volatility (21d)
24.0% 3rd pct
vs 200-day average
-26.7%
Up days (1y)
45%

Amentum Holdings, Inc. is currently running 24.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against AMTM's own 2 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 3rd percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 45.0%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

Price sits -26.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 2nd percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year AMTM closed higher on 45% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a falling streak.

Overnight risk is measurable too: AMTM has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 76 of 514 sessions (14.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.5% and -6.4%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 515 daily closes between 2024-09-24 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against AMTM's own 2-year history, not a peer group or index.
