  "summary": "Curtiss-Wright (CW) raised its full-year guidance on August 6, 2025, citing strong sales growth and improved margins. The company reported a 5% year-over-year increase in sales to $924 million, with operating income up by 12% and free cash flow jumping 37% to $160 million. Management attributed this success to robust order volumes, particularly in the Defense Electronics segment, which saw an 8% increase in bookings and a year-to-date growth of 12%, driven by demand for turret drive stabilization systems and tactical communications gear. The Aerospace & Industrial segment also performed well, with sales up 12% and operating income rising 25%, thanks to increased demand for actuation equipment. However, not all segments performed equally; Defense Electronics sales fell 3% as tactical communications orders were delayed. Despite this, Curtiss-Wright remains optimistic, with full-year sales growth guidance of 7% to 9% in the Naval & Power segment and a potential AP1000 reactor order from the Department of Energy.",
