FORT COLLINS, Colo., April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Woodward, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWD) announced today that it expects to report its fiscal 2025 second quarter financial results at approximately 4:00 p.m.

The strong performance of WWD's Aerospace and core Industrial segments, combined with discounted valuation and shareholder returns, makes it a solid investment opportunity.

Woodward, Inc. is poised for growth in the aerospace sector, driven by strategic acquisitions and increasing defense needs, despite challenges in the industrial segment.
