Is It The Right Time To Buy Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW)?

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW), a aerospace & defense company based in United States, saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NYSE over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s examine Curtiss-Wright’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity. See our latest analysis for Curtiss-Wright

What’s the opportunity in Curtiss-Wright?

The stock is currently trading at US$129.79 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 27% compared to my intrinsic value of $102.59. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since Curtiss-Wright’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What kind of growth will Curtiss-Wright generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let’s also take a look at the company’s future expectations. Curtiss-Wright’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 27.02%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? CW’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe CW should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping tabs on CW for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there’s no upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for CW, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
