On October 7, Curtiss-Wright fell 7.52% in regular trading, trading at $511.73/share, with turnover of $151 million. The decline was driven by the sudden announcement that CFO K. Christopher Farkas has stepped down from his role, though he will remain as executive vice president until his retirement at the end of 2026 to support a smooth transition.
This executive change comes during a critical leadership handover period, as incoming CEO Kevin Rayment is set to take office on January 1, 2027. The overlapping transitions have heightened market concerns about near-term governance stability. The company named Senior Vice President and Corporate Controller Gary Ogilby as interim CFO, effective immediately.
Curtiss-Wright is a global provider of highly engineered, critical-function products and services for commercial, industrial, defense, and energy markets.
