Amentum Holdings, Inc. announced a new partnership with France’s Électricité de France (EDF) that will bring up to $730 million in revenue over the next decade. The deal covers operational support for EDF’s existing nuclear reactors in the United Kingdom and the construction of a new gigawatt‑scale power station at Hinkley Point.
The agreement is structured around a ten‑year Professional Services Agreement and a five‑year Project Management Resources framework, giving Amentum a long‑term, predictable cash flow stream. The gigawatt‑scale Hinkley Point project is a flagship investment for the UK’s low‑carbon strategy, positioning Amentum at the heart of a growing market for nuclear life‑extension and new build services.
This contract adds a multi‑year revenue stream that is expected to generate incremental earnings for Amentum over the next several years. It also strengthens the company’s backlog, which stood at $47.1 billion as of October 3, 2025, providing a 3.2‑year cushion of secured work and reinforcing the firm’s ability to manage cash flow and plan capital expenditures.
Loren Jones, Amentum’s Senior Vice President, said the win “advances our strategy to accelerate the growth of our nuclear energy business in line with the opportunities being created by the worldwide nuclear resurgence.” Mark Whitney, President of Amentum Energy & Environment, added that the new contracts “build on Amentum’s differentiated position as a lead strategic partner to EDF and advance an immensely productive business relationship that dates back many decades.”
Analysts have responded positively to the announcement, raising their price targets and expressing confidence in Amentum’s nuclear premium. The company’s pre‑market trading reflected this optimism, with shares moving higher as investors weighed the long‑term revenue implications of the deal.
The EDF contract underscores Amentum’s strategic focus on high‑margin, long‑duration projects in nuclear energy, a sector that is experiencing a global resurgence. By securing a gigawatt‑scale project and extending support for existing reactors, Amentum is poised to capture a larger share of the UK nuclear market, enhance its backlog, and improve revenue visibility, all of which strengthen its competitive position against peers such as Leidos and Booz Allen.
