HUNTINGTON BEACH — Karman Holdings, a supplier of components for space and defense industries, has boosted its revenue outlook for the full fiscal year, part of a series of strong earnings reports by OC tech companies earlier this month.
Second-quarter revenue rose 58% to $182 million, above analysts’ expectations of $180 million; organic growth excluding an acquisition was 24%.
For the full year 2026, Huntington Beach- based Karman raised its revenue expectations to between $730 million and $745 million, up from the range of $720 million to $735 million foreseen in May.
The company said it has seen growing demand for its defense and aerospace products, especially its launching systems.

As of Aug. 12, the shares traded at $63.13 with an $8.3 billion market cap. The shares have risen 45% since hitting a 52-week low of $43.68 in July (NYSE: KRMN).
