New York, January 30, 2026, 14:04 EST — Regular session
- TTMI climbed 3.7% in afternoon trading, bouncing between $95.06 and $103.36 earlier in the session
- Company revealed a multi-year supply agreement with Raytheon, valued at up to $200 million
- Investors are focused on the Feb. 4 results and the company’s 2026 outlook
TTM Technologies shares rose 3.7% to $100.03 Friday afternoon, bouncing back after an initial drop as investors reacted to new defense-contract news and picked up shares linked to index activity. The stock swung between $95.06 and $103.36, with roughly 1.8 million shares changing hands.
Timing is crucial. A multi-year defense contract provides suppliers steady work and clearer planning over extended programs. Shifts in the index can also trigger automatic buying, no matter what anyone thinks about the valuation.
The stock slips into a packed field of hardware and defense names, where any sign of slowing orders gets punished fast. With TTM’s quarterly update coming next week, traders see Friday’s rally more as a prelude than a finish line.
Late Wednesday, Costa Mesa-based TTM Technologies announced that Raytheon, part of RTX, secured a multi-year contract for radio frequency assemblies, electronic hardware, and printed circuit boards tied to the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor radar program. The deal could be worth up to $200 million across three years. Mike Mills highlighted that the agreement supports “our accelerated delivery schedule while reducing costs.” Catherine Gridley of TTM described the move as one that “reinforces our long-standing partnership with Raytheon.” (TTM Technologies, Inc.)

Index reshuffling like this often sparks quick, intense moves as passive funds realign their holdings. But these bursts usually subside fast, with the stock settling back into trading based on fundamentals.
Defense primes showed a mixed performance on Friday. RTX held steady, Lockheed Martin gained roughly 1%, and Northrop Grumman dropped close to 1.3%.

However, the rally carries a distinct risk. That $200 million number is only “potential” value, with progress tied to program timelines and client demand; margins can shift even if revenue appears steady. A cautious note on Feb. 4 — or any hint of weakening orders — might reverse some of the gains from index moves and contracts.
Traders are focused on whether Friday’s gains stick through the close and carry over into next week’s positioning. The next major event is Feb. 4, when management will report results and provide guidance.
