Reason

Truist lowered the firm's price target on Curtiss-Wright to $338 from $357 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares as part of a broader research note previewing Q1 results for Aerospace & Defense industry. The set up heading into the earnings season will be littered with unknowns, uncertainty, and what may turn out to be a lack of clarity from management teams regarding the outlooks for 2025 as tariff implications coupled with recessionary fears will likely have an impact on the cyclically-sensitive sector coverage, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Investors may be better served leaning into the more stable and predictable defense sector, especially against the backdrop of several favorable defense spending developments, Truist added.

Reason

Stifel lowered the firm's price target on Curtiss-Wright to $309 from $331 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The firm is assuming U.S. trade policy leads to a modest industrial recession in the second half of this year through the first half of 2026 and assumes uncertainty leads to lower customer capital and operating expenditures, which cause Curtiss-Wright and/or its customers to slow production.

Strong Buy

Reason

Citi lowered the firm's price target on Curtiss-Wright to $424 from $450 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a Q1 preview for the aerospace and defense group. The firm believes defense companies have little exposure to tariffs and it remains constructive on the outlook for global defense spending. Suppliers could see some margin pressure and business jet manufacturers are likely to see some near-term cost pressure given a dependency on imports from Canada and Mexico, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citi adjusted its estimates accordingly. It moved defense coverage to the top of its list given a positive view on the outlook for global defense spending.

Strong Buy

Reason

Citi initiated coverage of Curtiss-Wright with a Buy rating and $410 price target. The firm expects the Department of Defense's spending trends and initiatives that prioritize Aircraft, Shipbuilding, and C4I spending to drive defense end-market revenues. Higher production rates for new aircraft are likely to increase Aerospace and Industrial aftermarket revenues while global demand for more efficient energy solutions suggests solid nuclear OE and aftermarket revenue visibility. Furthermore, Citi sees a path for the company to become net cash positive by 2026 given its consistent pattern of de-levering the balance sheet, which is supported by its outlook for 13% earnings growth through 2027 and consistent cash conversion.

Reason

Truist raised the firm's price target on Curtiss-Wright to $357 from $333 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares as part of a broader research note previewing 2025 for the Aerospace & Defense industry. The new year feels like "groundhog day", with 2024 investors' sentiment bullish on an aero OEM production recovery while turning bearish on the aftermarket rally, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm adds however that while aircraft production is likely to improve in 2025 off an easy comp, planned production rates increases are not materializing as fast as expected and we think the aftermarket still has legs. Truist further notes that within the Defense sector, the November Election and announcement of DOGE weighed on performance, though the sell-off has also created an attractive entry point.
