Description: CW Curtiss-Wright October 16, 2025
Curtiss-Wright Corp. (NYSE:CW) designs and manufactures engineered products for aerospace & defense, commercial power, process, and industrial markets, organized into three operating segments: Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power.
The Aerospace & Industrial segment supplies power-management electronics, traction inverters, transmission shifters, and control systems for specialty vehicles, as well as sensors, electro-mechanical actuators, and surface-technology services (shot peening, laser peening, engineered coatings) for both commercial and military aircraft.
The Defense Electronics segment focuses on COTS embedded-computing boards, data-acquisition and flight-test instrumentation, tactical communications, electronic stabilization, weapons-handling systems, and aircraft-data-management solutions.
The Naval & Power segment delivers main coolant pumps, compact high-power motors, generators, steam turbines, valves, and secondary-propulsion systems for nuclear and non-nuclear power plants, along with severe-service valve technologies, heat-exchanger repair, and U.S. Navy ship-repair services.
Key metrics (FY 2023): revenue ≈ $2.0 billion, operating margin ≈ 9 %, backlog ≈ $2.5 billion, and free-cash-flow conversion ≈ 55 %. The segment mix remains roughly 45 % Aerospace & Industrial, 30 % Defense Electronics, and 25 % Naval & Power.
Sector drivers: U.S. defense spending is up ~4 % YoY, supporting the Defense Electronics and Naval & Power lines; meanwhile, commercial aerospace demand is rebounding after pandemic lows, boosting orders for power-management and actuation components. A potential headwind is the cyclical nature of industrial-vehicle demand, which can be sensitive to macro-economic slowdowns.
