Carillon Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund Eric Mintz, Christopher Sassouni, David Cavanaugh | “Woodward develops and produces control systems and energy conversion solutions and components for the aerospace and industrial end markets. The stock performed well, driven by a quarterly report highlighted by particularly strong performance in the company's aerospace aftermarket vertical and considerable margin strength. The potential for a long-waited increased rate of production from large airframe original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) could provide an additional tailwind to growth going forward. Investors also remain optimistic about the company's growing exposure to newer-generation aircraft that is expected to result in a further step-change in aftermarket growth in the latter half of the decade. BSD Analysis: Woodward is a quietly powerful play on aerospace and industrial recovery, with exposure to commercial aviation, defense, and energy efficiency. The company's control systems are mission-critical — once designed in, they're incredibly sticky. As aircraft production ramps up post-pandemic, Woodward benefits from both OEM shipments and higher-margin aftermarket sales. Its industrial segment is tied to energy transition themes such as cleaner engines and distributed power. Margin expansion is underway as supply-chain pressures ease and mix shifts improve. Woodward has historically been disciplined in capital allocation, avoiding flashy deals in favor of organic growth. This is a steady compounder masquerading as a mid-cap industrial.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
