Louie DiPalma’s rating is based on Curtiss-Wright’s impressive third-quarter performance, which surpassed market expectations in terms of adjusted operating income and earnings per share. The company’s growth was notably strong in its naval and power segment, as well as in aerospace, industrial, and defense sectors.
Management’s decision to raise the full-year guidance reflects optimism driven by increased demand, particularly in the naval defense market, supported by higher volumes in submarine programs and robust aftermarket revenue. The revised financial outlook for 2025, with increased revenue, operating profit, and earnings per share projections, further supports the Buy rating.
