Woodward Up 10% YTD: Can the Stock Gain Further Momentum?

The strong performance of WWD's Aerospace and core Industrial segments, combined with discounted valuation and shareholder returns, makes it a solid investment opportunity.

Woodward Up 10% YTD: Can the Stock Gain Further Momentum?

Woodward: Keep On Radar, But Wait For A Better Opportunity

Woodward, Inc. is poised for growth in the aerospace sector, driven by strategic acquisitions and increasing defense needs, despite challenges in the industrial segment. The company expects aerospace sales to rise 6-13% by 2025, with strong margins, while industrial sales may decline due to energy transition and China's slowdown. Despite solid fundamentals, Woodward's stock is overvalued compared to industry peers, suggesting growth expectations are already priced in; recommend holding and waiting for a price correction.

Should You Forget Boeing and Buy These 2 Hot Growth Stocks Instead?

If investors want exposure to aerospace in their portfolio, then Boeing (BA -0.22%) is a good place to start. Still, I think there are plenty of other stocks to look at with exposure to the same end markets, and companies like Woodward (WWD 1.39%) and Hexcel (HXL -0.58%) (both Boeing suppliers) spring to mind.

17 Upcoming Dividend Increases, Including 3 Kings

This week's dividend increases feature three Dividend Kings: Archer-Daniels-Midland, Consolidated Edison, and Black Hills Corporation, with streaks of 50, 51, and 55 years, respectively. Consistently rising dividends indicate strong cash flow and financial stability, making such companies attractive long-term investments that often outperform benchmarks.
