Woodward reports Q3 EPS $1.76, consensus $1.64

Reports Q3 revenue $915.446M, consensus $890.52M. “We delivered strong results in the third quarter underpinned by robust demand across our end markets, coupled with disciplined execution by our global teams,” said Chip Blankenship, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The Aerospace segment generated substantial sales growth and margin expansion, driven by smart defense and commercial services. This was partially offset by lower commercial OEM and defense services, although both achieved sequential improvement. Our Industrial business again delivered double-digit sales growth in oil and gas and marine transportation. This was offset by an expected decrease in China on-highway natural gas truck sales.”
