Woodward posts strong Q3 with 21% sales growth, raises FY26 EPS forecast, and keeps Buy rating with 28% upside.

Woodward reported a strong third quarter with net sales up 21.2% and adjusted earnings per share rising 43.2%, driven by growth in commercial aerospace and industrial power generation. Gross margins expanded to 31.5% due to higher volume and pricing. The company raised its full-year 2026 EPS guidance to $9.30-$9.50 and expects continued margin improvements, although some Q3 margin gains were from one-time benefits. Free cash flow growth is slower due to increased capital expenditures, but capital returns remain strong with manageable leverage, supporting ongoing shareholder distributions. The stock retains a Buy rating with a 28% upside to a $457 price target.
