Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CW) DCF Valuation

Price is ABOVE the estimated range

$200.27

$380.33

Model scenario range

$558.90

Today's price

TGM's two-stage DCF values Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CW) between $200.27 and $380.33 depending on assumptions, with a base case of $272.31. Growth is taken from the company's own record (blend of 5-year revenue and FCF growth), fading to 2.5% long-run; the discount rate (8.5%) reflects its beta.

What would today's price require?

Growth the price assumes+28.4%/yr

Actual FCF growth, last 5 years+13.9%/yr

$558.90 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +28.4% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 8.5% required return — faster than the company has actually grown.

Scenario	FCF growth (fading to 2.5%)	Discount	Value / share
Conservative	8.1%/yr	9.5%	$200.27
Base case	11.1%/yr	8.5%	$272.31
Optimistic	14.1%/yr	7.5%	$380.33
Third-party model estimate (FMP)	independent reference · retrieved Sep 11, 2026 · assumptions not provided		$271.00

The FMP figure is a third-party point estimate. Its cash-flow forecast, discount rate, terminal growth, and valuation date are not included in the stored response, so TGMCharts presents it only as a reference—not as an intrinsic-value conclusion or price target.
