Curtiss-Wright (CW) continues to benefit from strength in its commercial nuclear and defense businesses, Morgan Stanley said Monday in a report.
Momentum in the commercial nuclear segment is building, driven by rising demand for AP1000 reactors and higher projected shipset value per plant, while defense electronics margins rose close to a record in Q3, the report said.
Curtiss-Wright's strong execution and robust cash generation are expected to offset higher investment needs, while the near-term impact from the US government shutdown should be temporary, the report said.
Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Curtiss-Wright stock to $645 from $565 and reiterated its overweight rating.
