Curtiss‑Wright posts Q3 beat, raises FY2026 sales and EPS outlook

Curtiss‑Wright reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of about $953 million, up roughly 10% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings per share of $3.94, beating analyst estimates. The company lifted its full‑year 2026 sales guidance to a range of $3.795 billion‑$3.840 billion and its adjusted EPS guidance to $15.40‑$15.60. It also announced a leadership transition with Kevin Rayment slated to become CEO on Jan. 1.

The raised guidance signals stronger demand and profitability, which could support a higher valuation for the stock (the company expects FY2026 adjusted EPS of $15.40‑$15.60, up from $15.10‑$15.40). The leadership change may reassure investors about continuity of strategy.
