Curtiss-Wright looks set to benefit from rising defense orders and renewed interest in nuclear power, with a growing backlog that points to steady demand ahead. The big question is whether reliance on a few large government and energy projects—and fast-moving competition in digital tech—could derail that momentum.Read more
Curtiss-Wright sits at the crossroads of two big forces: governments spending more on defense and a renewed push to build and upgrade nuclear power. The upside hinges on big long-term contracts and recent dealmaking, but the same government dependence and fast-changing tech could quickly turn into a headwind.Read more
Curtiss-Wright looks like it has plenty of demand lined up, but the next leg of growth could get bumpy if key defense programs slip and the product mix squeezes profits. The big question is whether integrating Ultra Energy and stepping up investment in new nuclear tech turns into a long-term win—or a near-term drag.Read more
Curtiss-Wright Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, provides engineered products, solutions, and services mainly to aerospace and defense, commercial nuclear power, process, and industrial markets worldwide. It operates through three segments: Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power. The Aerospace & Industrial segment offers industrial and specialty vehicle products, such as power management electronics, traction inverters, transmission shifters, and control systems; sensors, controls, and electro-mechanical actuation components used on commercial and military aircraft; and surface technology services including shot peening, laser peening, and engineered coatings. The Defense Electronics segment provides commercial off-the-shelf embedded computing board-level modules and processing equipment, data acquisition and flight test instrumentation equipment, integrated subsystems, instrumentation and control systems, tactical communications solutions; and electronic stabilization products, and weapons handling systems; avionics and electronics; flight test equipment; and aircraft data management solutions. The Naval & Power segment offers main coolant pumps, power-dense compact motors, generators, steam turbines, valves, and secondary propulsion systems; energy absorbers, retractable hook cable systems, net-stanchion systems and mobile systems to support fixed land-based arresting systems; hardware, valves, fastening systems, specialized containment doors, airlock hatches, and spent fuel management products; reactor coolant pumps and control rod drive mechanisms for commercial nuclear power plants, as well as various nuclear reactor technologies. This segment furnishes severe-service valve technologies and services, heat exchanger repair, and piping test and isolation products, and offers ship repair and maintenance for the U.S. navy. Curtiss-Wright Corporation was incorporated in 1929 and is headquartered in Davidson, North Carolina.
