Stocks on Fire: Analysts Say These 2 Big Winners Could Climb Even Higher

Everyone loves to go with a winner; that's just a fact. It holds true in stock investing, too, where it's the underlying motivation behind momentum investing. This strategy, based on locating and buying into stocks that have posted solid recent gains, flies in the face of the oldest advice in the economics books, that past performance does not guarantee future returns. But it's human nature to run with a winner – and we all know that when a stock price runs up, there's a reason for it. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. That's why the real key isn't simply spotting upward movement, but understanding why the gains are happening. Momentum investing works best when the stocks rising on the charts also have the fundamentals to keep them climbing. Companies with sound business models, proven leadership, strong customer bases, and profitable niches are the ones most likely to turn a short-term rally into a long-term win. And this is exactly where Wall Street's professional analysts come in, identifying which 'winners' are winning for the right reasons – the ones worth following. With that in mind, we tapped into the TipRanks database to see which stocks fit the bill. Two standouts emerged – each already up more than 50% this year – and recently winning upgrades from analysts who see further upside ahead. Let's take a closer look. Kratos Defense (KTOS) We'll start in the defense sector, with San Diego-based Kratos. Kratos is a defense contractor providing technology, platforms, and systems for customers in the US and allied national security sectors, and in the civilian/commercial security segment. The company's chief areas of operation are in cutting-edge technologies: hypersonics, advanced propulsion and power systems, unmanned systems, weaponry, space tech, and microwave and digital solutions. Kratos boasts high-level connections with the US Navy and Air Force, and is an important contractor with the nation's Missile Defense Agency and the Intelligence Community. Kratos has a range of active development programs that underscore its role at the forefront of next-generation systems. Among the most notable are drones, satellites, and microwave electronics – all technologies vital to strengthening today's military capabilities and expected to become even more indispensable in the future. The centerpiece is the XQ-58 Valkyrie, an unmanned stealth drone currently being evaluated under the Air Force's Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology (LCAAT) initiative, via the Low-Cost Attritable Strike Demonstrator (LCASD) program. The goal is straightforward: to create a relatively inexpensive, long-range strike drone that can be sacrificed in combat if necessary. Kratos has been flight-testing the XQ-58 since 2019, with results pointing toward its ability to fulfill those mission demands. Potential applications range from penetrating advanced air defenses to performing reconnaissance and executing both air-to-air and air-to-ground strikes. Still, the Valkyrie is only one piece of Kratos' broader portfolio. The company is also working with the US Space Force to advance satellite communications, while extending its technology into civilian markets. For example, a recent partnership with satellite services provider hiSky is leveraging Kratos' software-defined ground systems to expand IoT connectivity, targeting both government and commercial customers. Beyond aerospace and satellites, Kratos is finding practical applications for its automation expertise. In late July, the company announced a collaboration with Champion Tire & Wheel to deploy an 'automated truck platoon' at the NASCAR Brickyard 400. The project, which automated the delivery of pit equipment, marked the first use of automated trucking for NASCAR logistics. All of these projects tie back to Kratos' financial momentum. In its most recent quarter, the company reported $351.5 million in revenue, up 17% year-over-year and ahead of expectations by $45.67 million. Non-GAAP EPS came in at 11 cents, 2 cents above forecasts. With KTOS shares up 144% year-to-date, investors are clearly taking note of both the defense contracts and the commercial partnerships fueling growth. Wall Street is noticing, too. BTIG analyst Andre Madrid has turned more bullish, noting: 'We have consistently called out that the lack of a sizable program of record with steady procurement volumes is something that has kept us from seeing further upside for KTOS shares. However, as of this summer, this no longer seems to be the case, with the company having been downselected for the Marine Corps' MUX TACAIR program. Given funding currently earmarked for the program in FY2026 and the broader ~$8.8bn unmanned request, we have conviction that KTOS could see significant growth at Unmanned Systems (KUS) in the coming year. Furthermore, we continue to see upside across the breadth of the portfolio, most notably within hypersonics, C5ISR/Modular Systems (MS), Microwave Electronics (ME), and Kratos Turbine Technologies (KTT).' Following this stance, Madrid upgraded KTOS shares from Neutral to Buy, setting an $80 price target that implies about 24% upside over the next year. (To watch Madrid's track record, click here) TriMas Corporation (TRS) The second winner we're looking at here is TriMas, a manufacturer of various specialty products used in the consumer, aerospace, defense, and industrial end markets. The company employs some 3,900 people in 13 countries, and is known for developing innovative solutions to some of the common problems that face its customers. TriMas has put together a set of brand names that, while not household names, are well known in the industrial world and are recognized for their quality. TriMas has structured its business into several divisions, each targeting different markets with specialized solutions. The smallest of these, TriMas Specialty Products, focuses on the design and manufacture of high-pressure and low-pressure steel cylinders. While seemingly commonplace, these are in fact highly engineered precision devices, critical in the storage, transport, and dispensing of compressed gases. The company's larger divisions – TriMas Packaging, TriMas Life Sciences, and TriMas Aerospace – represent the core of its business. In packaging, TriMas produces dispensing pumps, sprayers, closures, flexible packaging, and even industrial drums, serving markets that range from beauty and food to pharmaceuticals and agriculture. Its Life Sciences division extends the company's reach into the medical field with precision injection-molded components used in patient monitoring, diagnostics, and surgical devices. Finally, the Aerospace division underscores TriMas's engineering depth, supplying everything from air ducts and rivets to anti-icing devices for both commercial aircraft and the US military. This operational diversity translates into measurable financial strength. In 2Q25, TriMas reported revenue of $274.8 million, up 14% year-over-year and beating estimates by $23.6 million. Non-GAAP EPS came in at 61 cents, also ahead of expectations by 13 cents. Investors have taken notice, with the stock climbing 52% year-to-date. Reflecting on these results, KeyBanc analyst Ken Newman points out that TriMas is actively analyzing its business model, yet he sees ample room for the company to remain profitable given the momentum across its divisions. 'While we acknowledge that the portfolio may shift toward a pureplay Packaging mix as the board continues its analysis surrounding its ongoing strategic review, we are cautiously optimistic that transformation could take a slower transition given Aerospace's solid demand visibility into FY26 and FY27. Assuming that Aerospace remains a strategic pillar of TRS's portfolio over the near to intermediate term, we think it could allow the Company to unlock the full potential of its underappreciated multiple,' Newman opined. That conviction also unlocked an upgrade from Newman, who boosted his rating on TRS from Sector Weight (i.e., Neutral) to Overweight (i.e., Buy). His $45 price target points to a 20% upside over the coming year. (To watch Newman's track record, click here) TRS has slipped under most analysts' radar; the stock's Moderate Buy consensus is based on just two recent ratings – but both are Buys.
