  • 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Woodward’s second-quarter fiscal 2018 earnings as well as revenues surpassed the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate.  The company’s Aerospace business continues to perform well with increasing production of the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX. It has also been investing in technologies to secure fresh businesses. In this line, the company’s pending acquisition of L’Orange is expected to expand its OEM portfolio. It is also spending on new manufacturing units and automation equipment to perk up efficiency, as the company intends to accelerate production. However, Woodward’s Industrial segment continued to face significant headwinds.Within power generation market, the company is witnessing demand related challenges in the industrial gas and turbine market as well as a drop off in volume tied to renewables penetration and greater energy efficiency. The company underperformed its broader industry in the last one year." (4/27/2018)
  • 2. Wood & Company analysts commented, "Segment profit rose 10%, including Aero up 25% (on 20% revenue growth) and Industrial down 40% (on -15% organic top line). Aero OM expansion should widen in FY2H, as absorption of incremental capacity costs and overall seasonal volume leverage should extend the trend that built off 1Q’s low ebb. Aero remains emphatically and broadly healthy. Industrial OM dipped ~3 ppts y-o-y and nearly 6 ppts sequentially, as industrial turbines worked lower (market levels and channel inventory corrections) and maybe some weak mix, with Asia natural gas vehicle outlook stronger in 2H. Restructuring has quick payback, with some benefits in 3Q and more in 4Q; WWD FY2H Industrial OM outlook consistent with prior, despite deviant FY2Q." (4/24/2018)
