Description: CW Curtiss-Wright December 19, 2025

Curtiss-Wright Corp. (NYSE:CW) delivers engineered products and services across aerospace & defense, commercial power, process, and industrial markets through three operating segments: Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power. The Aerospace & Industrial unit supplies power-management electronics, traction inverters, vehicle controls, aircraft sensors, and surface-technology services such as shot-peening and engineered coatings. Defense Electronics focuses on COTS embedded-computing modules, data-acquisition and flight-test gear, tactical communications, and weapons-handling systems. Naval & Power provides heavy-duty pumps, compact motors, generators, steam turbines, nuclear-reactor components, severe-service valves, and ship-repair services for the U.S. Navy.

Key quantitative touchpoints (FY 2023): revenue of roughly $2.5 billion, operating margin near 7 %, and a backlog of $1.1 billion, indicating a solid order pipeline. The segment’s performance is closely tied to two macro drivers: (1) sustained U.S. defense-spending growth-projected to rise ~3 % annually through 2028, bolstering demand for Defense Electronics and Naval & Power products; and (2) the global push for energy-efficient power-train technologies, which fuels demand for the company’s traction inverters and power-dense motors in both commercial and military vehicle platforms.
