Curtiss-Wright News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Curtiss-Wright this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks Research raised a raft of near‑term and multi‑year EPS estimates on Jan. 14 — including FY2026 to $14.24 (from $14.11) and FY2027 to $15.80 (from $15.52) — and nudged several quarterly estimates (examples: Q4’27 to $4.78 from $4.66; Q4’26 to $4.19 from $4.09). The broad, consistent upward revisions point to stronger-than-expected end‑market demand or margin assumptions and are a direct positive driver for the stock. Zacks raises multiple CW estimates (MarketBeat)
• Neutral Sentiment: Fundamentals supporting the outlook: Curtiss‑Wright beat Q3/FY results last reported (EPS surprise and ~8.8% revenue growth year-over-year), low leverage (debt/equity ~0.38) and healthy margins. However valuation is rich (P/E ~54) and today’s trading volume is below average, so near‑term moves may be sentiment‑driven rather than volume‑confirmed. CW stock snapshot (MarketBeat)
