It operates through three segments: Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power. The Aerospace & Industrial segment offers industrial and specialty vehicle products, such as power management electronics, traction inverters, transmission shifters, and control systems; sensors, controls, and electro-mechanical actuation components used on commercial and military aircraft; and surface technology services including shot peening, laser peening, and engineered coatings. The Defense Electronics segment provides commercial off-the-shelf embedded computing board-level modules and processing equipment, data acquisition and flight test instrumentation equipment, integrated subsystems, instrumentation and control systems, tactical communications solutions; and electronic stabilization products, and weapons handling systems; avionics and electronics; flight test equipment; and aircraft data management solutions. The Naval & Power segment offers main coolant pumps, power-dense compact motors, generators, steam turbines, valves, and secondary propulsion systems; energy absorbers, retractable hook cable systems, net-stanchion systems and mobile systems to support fixed land-based arresting systems; hardware, valves, fastening systems, specialized containment doors, airlock hatches, and spent fuel management products; reactor coolant pumps and control rod drive mechanisms for commercial nuclear power plants, as well as various nuclear reactor technologies.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation was incorporated in 1929 and is headquartered in Davidson, North Carolina.

Curtiss-Wright выглядит как качественный промышленный бизнес, но рынок уже закладывает в цену очень высокий уровень ожиданий. Сильная сторона компании — высокая и улучшающаяся рентабельность: ROE, ROA, ROI, операционная и чистая маржа находятся заметно выше медианы отрасли и продолжают расти по годам. Выручка, валовая прибыль, операционная прибыль и чистая прибыль также демонстрируют устойчивый рост, что подтверждает не разовый, а системный характер улучшения бизнеса. Дополнительно радует низкая долговая нагрузка: debt/equity существенно ниже отраслевой медианы и остается под контролем, что снижает финансовые риски. При этом ликвидность выглядит уже не столь комфортно: quick ratio и current ratio ниже отраслевых ориентиров и ухудшились относительно более ранних периодов, а cash on hand заметно сократился. Дивидендная доходность практически отсутствует, поэтому инвестиционный кейс опирается почти исключительно на рост прибыли и переоценку, а не на денежный поток для акционера. Главный сдерживающий фактор — крайне дорогая оценка: P/E, P/S, P/B и P/FCF существенно выше медианы отрасли, причем мультипликаторы в последние периоды даже расширялись. Это означает, что качество бизнеса уже хорошо отражено в цене, и для дальнейшего существенного апсайда нужны либо ускорение роста, либо еще более сильное улучшение маржинальности. На фоне хороших операционных метрик, но очень требовательной оценки, справедливо сохранять лишь умеренно позитивный взгляд. Для инвестора это история не про глубокую недооценку, а про сильную компанию, которая торгуется с премией за качество и стабильность. Поэтому целесообразно лишь слегка снизить исходный ориентир, чтобы учесть высокие мультипликаторы и ослабление ликвидности при сохранении сильного фундаментального профиля.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. KTOS shares have lost 24.9% year to date against the Zacks Aerospace-Defense Equipment industry’s growth of 6.6%. However, contract wins and growing demand for unmanned, autonomous tactical systems are driving strong interest in Kratos Defense’s drone and defense technologies.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Other defense equipment stocks like Curtiss-Wright CW and Teledyne Technologies TDY have risen 32.2% and 23.8%, respectively, year to date. Curtiss-Wright is poised to gain from continued strength in the naval defense market, supported by consistent government defense spending. Teledyne Technologies is experiencing solid defense-sector demand, especially in Europe, amid increasing regional military expenditures.
Considering Kratos Defense’s underperformance relative to its industry, investors may be wondering what is the next move. Let’s examine the factors and assess the stock’s investment prospects to make an informed decision.
Tailwinds for KTOS Stock
Kratos Defense is one of the leading providers of unmanned aerial target drones for U.S. and allied militaries, with its strong reputation and proven technology driving consistent contract wins, strategic partnerships, global expansion and long-term competitiveness.
On May 6, 2026, the company reported first-quarter results. Unmanned Systems reported revenues of $82.6 million, reflecting 30.9% organic growth over first-quarter 2025 revenues of $63.1 million. Kratos Government Solutions reported revenues of $288.4 million, reflecting 11.8% organic growth over first-quarter 2025 revenues of $239.5 million. KTOS posted a consolidated book-to-bill ratio of 1.6 to 1, with bookings worth $605.2 million.
In April 2026, Kratos Defense was awarded an Other Transaction Agreement with a total potential value of $446.8 million, contingent on the exercise of all options. Under the agreement, Kratos Defense will lead the development and integration of the ground infrastructure needed to operate resilient missile-warning and missile-tracking satellites in medium Earth orbit, including systems designed to detect advanced threats, such as hypersonic missiles. It strengthens the company’s position as a prime contractor in the rapidly expanding space-based missile defense market.
In March 2026, Kratos Defense was selected by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division for production and delivery of up to 36 Oriole solid rocket motors and three Thrust Vector Control nozzle kits. This $49 million contract is expected to strengthen its revenue visibility and strategic positioning in high-growth defense segments.
Kratos Defense’s collaboration with Airbus to prepare two XQ-58A Valkyrie drones for their first flight with a European mission system marks a significant step toward expanding its unmanned combat technology into international markets. This initiative positions the company not only as a drone manufacturer but also as a key enabler of next-generation autonomous air combat systems globally.
Headwinds for KTOS
Although Kratos Defense shows notable growth prospects, it continues to face certain obstacles. One such obstacle is supply-chain disruption stemming from raw material shortages, which continue to affect the broader defense sector and could adversely impact the company’s operations.
Higher costs for key inputs, such as materials, parts, supplies, and external services (including consultants, subcontractors, and vendors), have materially increased the company’s cost base, potentially weighing on operations, margins and financial forecasts.
Estimates for KTOS Stock
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 and 2027 earnings per share (EPS) indicates an increase of 40% and 37.48%, respectively, year over year.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Curtiss-Wright’s 2026 and 2027 EPS indicates an increase of 13.98% and 10.97%, respectively, year over year. The consensus estimate for Teledyne Technologies' 2026 and 2027 EPS implies an increase of 9.19% and 8.09%, respectively, year over year.
KTOS’ Earnings Surprise History
The company beat on earnings in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 22.64%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
KTOS’ Return on Equity Lower Than Industry
The company’s trailing 12-month return on equity of 4.3% is lower than the industry average of 12.99%. Return on equity, a profitability measure, reflects how effectively a company utilizes its shareholders’ funds to generate income.

KTOS Stock Trades at a Discount
In terms of valuation, KTOS’ forward 12-month price/sales (P/S) is 5.86X, a discount to the industry’s average of 11.98X.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
What Should an Investor Do Now?
Kratos Defense continues to strengthen its position in unmanned systems, missile defense, and space infrastructure through strong operational growth, major defense contract wins, and expanding international partnerships. Its recent awards and collaborations reinforce the company’s long-term growth outlook by increasing revenue visibility, enhancing its role in advanced military technologies, and expanding its presence in next-generation autonomous and hypersonic defense programs.
Given its poor ROE and price underperformance, new investors may wait for a better entry point. Investors who already own this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock may consider retaining their position, supported by the company’s strong earnings growth outlook.

Kratos Defense Stock Slips 24.9% YTD: Should You Buy the Dip?

Redwire Corporation RDW is scheduled to release first-quarter 2026 results on May 6, after market close. The company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 118.75% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors That Might Have Impacted RDW's Q1 Earnings
Redwire’s first-quarter 2026 earnings are likely to have benefited from solid demand across its space infrastructure and defense technology businesses, supported by growth in spacecraft platforms, sensors and payload offerings.
The company’s earnings are anticipated to have gained from rising contract activity, aided by a healthy backlog and continued momentum in government and national security programs. Growth in commercial and civil space opportunities, including satellite proliferation and in-space manufacturing initiatives, is also likely to have contributed to the quarter’s performance.
Ongoing progress in solar array systems, docking infrastructure and autonomous platforms, coupled with steady revenue recognition from long-term contracts, may support RDW’s quarterly results.
However, higher operating costs, particularly related to research and development, are likely to have weighed on the bottom line.
Q1 Expectations for RDW
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at a loss of 16 cents per share, which indicates year-over-year growth of 20%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pinned at $103.5 million, which suggests a year-over-year rise of 68.5%.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts for RDW
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Redwire this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is the case here, as you will see below.
Redwire Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Earnings ESP: The company’s Earnings ESP is +22.58%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Currently, Redwire carries a Zacks Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation CW is expected to report its first-quarter 2026 earnings on May 6, after market close. It has an Earnings ESP of +0.72% and a Zacks Rank of 2 at present.
CW’s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth rate is 14%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings stands at $3.32 per share, which implies a year-over-year increase of 17.7%.
Recent Defense Releases
RTX Corporation’s RTX first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $1.78 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.52 by 17%. The bottom line improved 21.1% from the year-ago quarter’s level of $1.47.

Redwire Gears Up to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What to Expect

PTC Inc. PTC is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2026 results on May 6, after market close.
For the quarter, PTC anticipates revenues in the $710-$770 million band. Non-GAAP EPS is projected in the range of $1.93-$2.54.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $713.1 million, up 12.1% from the year-ago reported number. The consensus estimate for earnings is pinned at $2.06 per share, up 15.1% from a year ago, unchanged in the past 30 days.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. It delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 34.6%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
In the past year, shares of PTC have lost 13% compared with the Zacks Computer – Software industry’s decline of 6.5%.
Factors Shaping PTC’s Q2 Results
PTC's core business segments, product lifecycle management (PLM) and computer-aided design (CAD) solutions, remain its primary revenue contributors and are likely to have positively influenced performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The company has been enhancing its focus on the Intelligent Product Lifecycle vision, centered on CAD, PLM, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Service Lifecycle Management (SLM), with increasing importance on SaaS and AI.
The company’s solutions help industrial enterprises to enhance operational efficiency, accelerate product and service innovation, and boost workforce productivity. Growing clout of the company’s major technology platforms, including its 3D modeling (CAD) offering Creo; lifecycle management (PLM) solution Windchill; data orchestration (IIoT) offering ThingWorx; and experience creation (AR) product Vuforia Studio, is likely to have positively impacted the company’s top line.
The company’s go-to-market execution transformation is progressing well. In the last reported quarter, the company expanded seller capacity, improved quota attainment and saw productivity of ramping representatives more than double year over year, driven by better territory alignment, enhanced enablement and increased vertical focus. The company is broadening customer and partner engagements from a single lifecycle stage to a more holistic approach centered on the Intelligent Product Lifecycle, with a strong emphasis on product data and AI.
For second-quarter fiscal 2026, PTC expects continued growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR), supported by solid pipeline conversion and improving deal momentum. The company guided for ARR growth on a constant currency basis, excluding contributions from Kepware and ThingWorx, indicating steady underlying demand across its core segments. On the lastearnings call management highlighted that some deal timing could shift between the first quarter and the second quarter, but overall pipeline visibility remains strong.
Generative-AI initiatives and product portfolio enhancements augur well. The company advanced its product portfolio with generative AI capabilities across PLM, ALM, SLM and CAD. PTC continues to embed AI across its portfolio to address high-value customer workflows.
PTC Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
In the fiscal second quarter, PTC plans to buy back approximately $250 million of shares. Cash from operations is expected to be $315-$320 million, and free cash flow is forecasted to be $310-$315 million. The company expects second-quarter free cash flow generation to remain healthy, reflecting disciplined cost management and ongoing operational efficiency.
However, the company continues to face challenges from intense competition in the CAD market and volatility in foreign exchange rates amid a tough macro environment. Higher investment-driven expenses might have weighed on margin performance. Increasing product complexity, tighter timelines and fragmented supply chains are added concerns.
Key Recent Developments
On April 28, 2026, PTC announced the launch of Windchill AI Assistant, a new generative AI capability integrated into its Windchill PLM platform through a natural language chat interface. The tool helps engineering and manufacturing teams quickly find, understand and use complex product data by allowing users to ask questions in plain language and receive contextual answers or summaries from existing documents.
On April 1, 2026, PTC announced that BMW Group implemented its Codebeamer ALM solution as the foundation for next-generation digital engineering. The move marks BMW’s transition from fragmented legacy requirements systems to a unified data model within Codebeamer.
On March 17, 2026, PTC introduced a new robotics design-to-simulation workflow integrating its Onshape CAD/PDM platform with NVIDIA Corporation’s Isaac Sim, unveiled at NVIDIA GTC 2026. The solution enables engineers to seamlessly move from design to simulation with a single source of truth, eliminating manual rework and automatically updating simulations when designs change.
On March 16, 2026, PTC completed the sale of its Kepware industrial connectivity and ThingWorx IoT businesses to TPG Inc. as part of a strategic shift toward its core Intelligent Product Lifecycle offerings. The company received $523 million in cash proceeds at closing, with net after-tax proceeds of approximately $375 million after adjustments, taxes, and transaction costs.
On Feb. 26, 2026, PTC unveiled a fully cloud-native Model-Based Definition (MBD) capability integrated directly into its Onshape computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) platform. The new functionality empowers engineering teams to embed manufacturing information within 3D models from the earliest stages of product development.
On Feb. 12, 2026, PTC announced that SPG Company has selected its FlexPLM retail product lifecycle management solution to replace a legacy system and support faster development cycles with a scalable, cloud-based platform.
What Our Model Says About PTC
Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for PTC this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.

PTC to Release Q2 Earnings: Here's What Investors Should Expect

TransDigm Group Incorporated TDG is slated to report second-quarter fiscal 2026 results on May 5, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 2.62% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors Likely to Affect TDG’s Q2 Results
During the fiscal first quarter of 2026, TransDigm acquired Simmonds Precision Products, Inc., a business of Goodrich Corp., for about $765 million. This acquisition strengthened TransDigm’s portfolio of specialized aerospace components, especially those with strong aftermarket demand. It also expanded the company’s presence across commercial and defense platforms and added a stable stream of recurring revenues, which is expected to have supported second-quarter sales.
Strong performance in the commercial aftermarket, driven by improving air travel, higher flight activity and increased aircraft usage, is likely to have supported revenue growth in the quarter. At the same time, higher U.S. defense spending is expected to have contributed positively to sales.
Overall, higher revenues are likely to have supported margin improvement. Continued focus on cost control and operational efficiency is also expected to have strengthened profitability, supporting the company’s quarterly earnings.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $9.32 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 2.3%.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Notable ETF Inflow Detected - IJH, FTI, FLEX, CW

Teledyne Technologies, Inc. TDY is scheduled to release first-quarter 2026 results on April 22, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 8.06% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Key Factors Likely to Influence TDY’s Q1 Results
In the first quarter of 2026, Teledyne Technologies acquired DD-Scientific Holdings Limited and its subsidiary DD-Scientific Limited, which is expected to support its overall performance during the period. The acquisition expands Teledyne Technologies’ presence across key end markets, including power generation, petrochemicals, semiconductors and medical technology. It is likely to drive incremental revenues from advanced sensing solutions while reinforcing the company’s position in the global environmental and industrial instrumentation market.
Solid organic sales of defense electronics and commercial aerospace products, along with contributions from recent acquisitions, are likely to have supported the top-line performance of the Aerospace & Defense Electronics segment.
The Instrumentation segment’s revenues are expected to have benefited from increased sales of marine instruments and underwater autonomous vehicles.
Higher sales of infrared imaging components and subsystems, along with strong sales of unmanned air systems and surveillance products, are likely to have driven the Digital Imaging segment’s top-line growth.
TDY’s Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $5.48 per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 10.7%.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pinned at $1.51 billion, calling for a year-over-year improvement of 4.1%.

Teledyne Technologies to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

In recent trading, shares of Curtiss-Wright Corp. (Symbol: CW) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $248.25, changing hands for $250.01/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 4 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Curtiss-Wright Corp., but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $228.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $260.00. The standard deviation is $14.103.
But the whole reason to look at the average CW price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with CW crossing above that average target price of $248.25/share, investors in CW have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $248.25 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table? Below is a table showing the current thinking of the analysts that cover Curtiss-Wright Corp.:
