Frequently asked questions
What is Woodward Inc's revenue?
Woodward Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $4.00B, and consensus projects about $7.58B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is WWD?
In its most recent fiscal year, WWD ran a gross margin of 26.81%, an operating margin of 14.33%, and a net margin of 12.39%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does WWD generate?
WWD produced $340.37M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is WWD's balance sheet healthy?
WWD holds $327.43M in cash and equivalents against $456.97M in long-term debt, on $2.57B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
