Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Curtiss-Wright raised its full-year 2026 outlook, including sales growth of 8% to 9%, diluted EPS of $15.10 to $15.40 and free cash flow of $585 to $605 million. Second-quarter sales, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EPS and free cash flow improved, while Defense Electronics delivered record orders; however, Defense Electronics sales declined 3% and Ground Defense remained exposed to shipment timing.

Bullish

  • + Raised record free-cash-flow guidance to $585-$605 million
  • + Adjusted operating margin expanded 110 basis points to 19.4%
  • + Orders increased 8% with a 1.16x book-to-bill and record Defense Electronics demand
Bearish

Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
