Is Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Curtiss-Wright Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Curtiss-Wright Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation's P/E ratio

Curtiss-Wright Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 33x. In other words, Curtiss-Wright Corporation shares trade at around 33x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation's PEG ratio

Curtiss-Wright Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.71. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Curtiss-Wright Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 7.71% of net profits

Recently Curtiss-Wright Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Curtiss-Wright Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Curtiss-Wright Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.82 per share.

While Curtiss-Wright Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Curtiss-Wright Corporation is investing more in its future growth.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 2 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Curtiss-Wright Corporation's shares ever split?

Curtiss-Wright Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 23 April 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Curtiss-Wright Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Curtiss-Wright Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Curtiss-Wright Corporation's share price.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Curtiss-Wright Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $211.4568 up to $393.1753. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Curtiss-Wright Corporation's is 1.177. This would suggest that Curtiss-Wright Corporation's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
