The accelerated buyback is a modest positive signal of management's confidence in cash flow and valuation, but does not change the fundamental outlook. Monitor the next 10-Q for actual share count reduction and EPS accretion. The $390 million remaining authorization provides a long-term floor for the stock.

Executive Summary
Curtiss-Wright announced a $100 million expansion of its 2026 share repurchase program via a 10b5-1 trading plan, bringing total expected 2026 repurchases to $160 million. The $100 million will be deployed immediately and is expected to be completed by the end of August 2026, leaving $390 million in remaining authorization. This signals management's confidence in the company's cash flow and growth trajectory, but is a capital allocation decision, not a fundamental earnings event.
