Curtiss-Wright: The Resilience & Adaptation to Economic & Policy Shifts! 

Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s latest earnings report reflects a balanced outlook with both growth opportunities and challenges. The company reported a 5% year-over-year increase in sales for the fourth quarter of 2024, driven primarily by strong performances in its Defense Electronics and Naval & Power segments. However, operating income remained flat, with an operating margin holding steady at 19.8%. Diluted earnings per share rose by 3%, surpassing expectations due to higher aerospace and defense sales, and free cash flow was robust at $278 million, translating to a 223% conversion rate. A notable 37% increase in the order book suggests strong future demand across all aerospace and defense markets.
