Curtiss-Wright Corporation is currently running 25.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CW's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 57th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 23.5%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

CW is trading -29.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -17.1%, and the deepest was -48.7% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -17.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 4th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year CW closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On September specifically: over 14 years of records, CW finished the month higher 8 of 14 times, with a median return of +1.0% and an average of +0.8%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.8% on average, its weakest March at -2.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CW has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 129 of 3,266 sessions (3.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.3% and -16.6%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, CW moved an average of 2.6% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -2.4% and a largest of -4.5%.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-09-16 and 2026-09-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CW's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
