$WWD Heads up alert! Only three days until Upcoming earnings on Monday, 11/25/2024 for $WWD Neutral (5.5) Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWD) has shown a commendable stock performance recently, with a notable 6.2% increase over the past three months. The company's strategic decision to divest its heavy-duty gas turbine combustion parts business to GE Vernova signals a focused approach on maximizing value creation and strengthening its core competencies. This divestiture, while potentially reducing revenue in the short term, is expected to streamline operations and enhance profitability in the long run. Financially, Woodward has shown resilience, with a current P/E ratio of approximately 20.5, which is competitive within the aerospace and defense sector. The projected EPS growth for the upcoming fiscal year is around 10%, indicating robust performance against industry peers. Revenue forecasts suggest steady growth, particularly in the aerospace sector, which is buoyed by increasing defense spending amidst geopolitical tensions. In comparison to its peers, Woodward's strong institutional ownership, at 87%, highlights investor confidence, although it may also render the stock more volatile in response to institutional trading patterns. Looking ahead, Woodward is set to release its fiscal 2024 fourth-quarter and full-year earnings on November 25, 2024. Analysts anticipate a solid performance, driven by steady momentum in its aerospace division, despite challenges in the natural gas truck market due to weakness in China. Historical performance has demonstrated that Woodward typically meets or exceeds earnings expectations, suggesting a positive outlook for this report. Analyst consensus estimates predict an EPS of approximately $1.15 for the quarter, reflecting a year-over-year increase. The upcoming earnings report could significantly impact the stock, especially considering the potential market reaction to guidance on future revenue growth and profitability. Investors will be keen to assess management's commentary on strategic initiatives post-divestiture and any implications for the company's growth trajectory. - Funds were net buyers of $WWD during the previous reporting quarter. - Here are some of the funds with a sizable holdings (as of Q4 of 2024) for $WWD: * Farallon Capital Management LLC $198MM.
