Description: WWD Woodward January 02, 2026

Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ:WWD) designs, manufactures, and services control-system components for aerospace and industrial customers worldwide, operating through two distinct segments: Aerospace and Industrial. The Aerospace segment supplies fuel pumps, metering units, actuators, valves, fuel nozzles, thrust-reverser actuation systems, and flight-deck controls for turbine engines and nacelles, plus aftermarket MRO services for airlines, military depots, and third-party repair shops. The Industrial segment provides actuators, valves, pumps, fuel-injection and ignition systems, solenoids, control electronics, software, and sensors for gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and reciprocating engines, also supporting customers with aftermarket parts and services.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached approximately $1.6 billion, with an operating margin of ~12 % and a backlog of $2.2 billion, indicating strong order flow. The company’s earnings per share rose 18 % year-over-year to $2.20, driven by higher demand for fuel-efficient turbine components amid rising airline traffic and a rebound in industrial power-generation projects. Sector-wide, the push toward decarbonization is expanding the market for high-efficiency gas turbines, a core end-use for Woodward’s industrial products, while aerospace OEMs are accelerating next-generation engine programs that require advanced actuation and control solutions.
