DENSO CORPORATION (6902.JP)

Q3 2026

Denso profit miss and quake supply hit outweigh Micron deal

  • April–June profit falls 14%, full-year forecast misses estimates Denso's quarterly net profit dropped 14.4% to 67.8 billion yen as higher material costs and growth spending squeezed margins. Revenue rose on electrification and smart products, but the unchanged full-year profit forecast of 382 billion yen badly missed the 424.6 billion yen analysts expected. The earnings miss is the main reason the stock plunged on July 31.

    This is the single biggest new company-specific event and directly explains the stock's sharp fall.

  • Kumamoto earthquake forces Toyota plant halts, Denso checks suppliers Toyota will stop its Tahara plant from August 3–7 and extend shutdowns at three Fukuoka plants after the Kumamoto earthquake damaged Aisin Kyushu's factory. Denso is investigating damage at its own suppliers. Multi-tier supply chains take time to assess, so production cuts at major customers threaten Denso's near-term sales and parts deliveries.

    A fresh supply-chain disruption that can reduce Denso's production and revenue in coming weeks.

  • Micron multi-year AI memory deals include Denso as partner Micron completed long-term Strategic Customer Agreements with seven automotive suppliers, including Denso, securing advanced memory and storage for AI-enabled vehicles. For Denso, this locks in supply visibility and pricing certainty for key electronics, supporting its intelligent-product roadmap. The deals are a modest positive but not enough to offset the profit miss.

    A new partnership that supports Denso's technology and supply outlook, though smaller than the earnings hit.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CW)

Q3 2026

Curtiss-Wright's Strong Q2 and Nuclear Growth Offset Valuation Concerns

  • Q2 Earnings Beat and Guidance Raise Curtiss-Wright reported Q2 sales up 5% to $924 million, operating income up 12%, and free cash flow up 37% to $160 million. Management raised full-year guidance, signaling confidence in continued growth. This positive news supports a higher stock price as it reflects strong execution and future earnings potential.

    This is the most recent and significant event, directly impacting CW's valuation and investor sentiment.

  • Nuclear Expansion and DOE Loan Commitment Curtiss-Wright expects an AP1000 reactor order by year-end, backed by a conditional $17.5 billion DOE loan for up to 10 reactors. The company aims to quadruple commercial nuclear revenues to $1.5 billion by mid-next decade. This long-term growth driver adds significant upside potential, boosting investor optimism.

    This highlights a major growth avenue that could substantially increase future revenues, a key factor for long-term investors.

  • Valuation Risk and Stock Pullback Despite strong results, CW's stock fell 8% after earnings and trades at $688.63. Its P/E of 47.7x is above the industry average of 39.9x, suggesting overvaluation. If sentiment cools, the stock could face further downside, as investors may question the high multiple relative to peers.

    This counterweight explains why the stock dropped despite good news and highlights a key risk for investors.

  • Record Defense Spending and Strong Backlog Global military spending hit a record $2.9 trillion in 2025, and CW's new orders rose 16% to a $4.3 billion backlog, with 90% expected to convert to revenue within three years. This robust demand environment supports future revenue growth and earnings stability.

    This underscores the strong demand backdrop that underpins CW's growth trajectory, a fundamental driver.
