Description: WWD Woodward October 30, 2025

Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWD) designs, manufactures, and services control-system components for both aerospace and industrial markets, operating through two distinct segments: Aerospace and Industrial.

The Aerospace segment supplies fuel pumps, actuators, valves, thrust-reverser actuation systems, and a range of flight-deck controls to commercial, private, and military aircraft programs. Sales flow to OEMs, tier-one suppliers, and defense contractors, while aftermarket services-spares, repairs, and overhauls-provide a recurring revenue stream that now accounts for roughly 30 % of the segment’s total sales.

The Industrial segment delivers actuators, valves, pumps, fuel-injection systems, solenoids, ignition units, and associated control electronics for gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and reciprocating engines. Distribution occurs through an independent network of distributors and direct sales to end users, with aftermarket service again contributing a meaningful share of earnings.

Key operating metrics (FY 2023): total revenue ≈ $2.2 billion, with the Aerospace segment contributing ~55 % and the Industrial segment ~45 %; a 12-month order backlog of $2.5 billion, indicating multi-year demand visibility; and free cash flow of $260 million, supporting dividend growth and share-repurchase flexibility.

Sector drivers that materially affect Woodward’s outlook include global airline traffic recovery (fuel-pump and actuation demand), rising defense budgets (especially for next-generation fighter and unmanned systems), and the transition to cleaner power generation, which fuels demand for high-efficiency gas-turbine control solutions.
