Zacks raises multiple CW estimates (MarketBeat)
• Neutral Sentiment: Fundamentals supporting the outlook: Curtiss‑Wright beat Q3/FY results last reported (EPS surprise and ~8.8% revenue growth year-over-year), low leverage (debt/equity ~0.38) and healthy margins. However valuation is rich (P/E ~54) and today’s trading volume is below average, so near‑term moves may be sentiment‑driven rather than volume‑confirmed. CW stock snapshot (MarketBeat)
