Woodward shares are sliding after hitting a fresh record high in the previous session, as traders lock in profits and the stock goes through a technical correction. The drop is being amplified by worries that rising oil prices could hurt aerospace aftermarket demand, putting pressure on sentiment across the sector.
Adding to the pullback, some analysts now caution that Woodward looks stretched after its powerful one-year rally of about 135 percent. Their warnings that the stock appears overvalued at these levels are encouraging more investors to step to the sidelines and reassess their positions.
