Buy
Elite defense/nuclear compounder with 19% ROE and rising margins, but a 60x P/E already prices in the growth.
The read
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~39% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
Curtiss-Wright is a high-quality industrial compounder. Revenue has grown every year from $2.50B (FY2021) to $3.50B (FY2025), with FY2025 up 12.1% YoY, while net income climbed from $263M to $484M (+19.6% in FY2025) and diluted EPS rose 22.0% to $12.87 — helped by a 2.1% reduction in shares from $465M of buybacks (+86% YoY). Profitability is strong and improving: gross margin 37.2%, operating margin 18.1% (operating income +19.8%), net margin 13.8%, and ROE of 19.1%. Cash conversion is excellent — operating cash flow of $643M (+18.2%) exceeds reported net income against modest capex of $89.7M — funding both the heavy repurchases and a growing dividend.
