High-quality aerospace/industrial compounder firing on all cylinders, but a ~60x P/E already prices in the good news.
Diluted EPS $7.19 · FY2025
The read
Middling fundamentals and a rich price (~54% above fair value) leave little margin of safety — a wait-and-see.
Woodward is a genuinely strong business. FY2025 revenue grew 7.3% to $3.57B, the fifth straight year of growth (from $2.25B in FY2021), while net income jumped 18.5% to $442M and diluted EPS rose 19.6% to $7.19. Margins are expanding (net margin 12.4% vs 11.2% in FY2024; gross margin 26.8% vs 26.4%), ROE is a healthy 17.2%, and the balance sheet is getting stronger as management pays down debt — long-term debt fell 19.8% to $457M and total liabilities dropped 5.9%, leaving liabilities/equity at a conservative 0.80x with $327M cash and ~$894M of undrawn credit availability. Operating cash flow of $471M comfortably covers $131M of capex and $173M of buybacks. This is a deleveraging, cash-generative compounder.
