Analysis summary
Technical asset picture
Curtiss-Wright (CW) currently has a total score of 86 points, placing it in the very strong range. The score is made up of Performance (96), Stability (66) and Trend (89). All three sub-scores are currently above average.
Performance scores 96 points (very strong). Key strength: 5Y return at 493.2 %. Even the weakest return is still strong in absolute terms: 10Y return at 868.5 %.
Stability scores 66 points (strong). Key strength: return/volatility ratio at 3.31. Main drag: volatility (365d, annualized) at 34.9 %. That implies elevated swings. Higher Stability points are better and typically reflect calmer swings and smaller drawdowns-but prices can still fall.
Trend scores 89 points (very strong). Key strength: 12M momentum at 121.0 %. Even the weakest metric remains solid in absolute terms: SMA50 distance at 2.5 %.
Overall, the very strong total score is driven mainly by Performance and Trend; Stability is the biggest lever for improvement. On a metric level, return/volatility ratio stands out, while volatility (365d, annualized) is the main weak spot.
