In the past six months, Curtiss-Wright's stock experienced a significant decline, falling approximately 22.7% from $723.71 to $559.74 between August 12 and September 10, 2026, despite strong Q2 results and raised full-year guidance. This decline was attributed to an elevated valuation, insider selling, a broader sector pullback, a slight revenue miss, and a sell-rating downgrade. Strategically, the company increased its quarterly dividend to $0.26 per share, repurchased 42,000 shares for $29 million, and expanded its 2026 share repurchase program by $200 million. New orders grew by $243 million in the first half of 2026, driven by ground and naval defense equipment, and Q1 2026 results showed a 16% increase in new orders and a 5% increase in backlog to approximately $4.3 billion.
