HWM is down -6.46% to roughly $242.52 in early regular-session trading, pulling back from Friday's $259.27 close. The decline extends the selloff sparked by Elon Musk's announcement that SpaceX will cast its own gas-turbine blades and vanes, targeting Howmet's dominant ~50%+ share of that niche.

Woodward, Inc. ( WWD ) trades near $346, well below its 52-week high of roughly $451 and its $500 milestone target. The strongest bullish case rests on robust commercial aerospace aftermarket demand, power-generation growth, expanding margins, and a raised fiscal 2026 earnings outlook.

L3Harris Technologies (LHX) shares closed near $256, down roughly 10.5% over the past 30 days and near the low end of a 52-week range of $256.05 to $379.23. A leadership crisis—the ouster of Chairman and CEO Christopher Kubasik over conduct violations—was the primary near-term catalyst for the selloff.

L3Harris Technologies (LHX) shares fell roughly 10.4% over the trailing 30 days, ending near $256 and touching a fresh 52-week low. The decline accelerated after an abrupt leadership transition, as Chairman and CEO Chris Kubasik was replaced following a code-of-conduct investigation.

DPC fell -10.28% to $39.55 during regular trading, deepening an early premarket drop of about -5.9%. Primary catalyst: Elon Musk confirmed SpaceX is building an in-house foundry for gas-turbine blades and vanes, threatening Doncasters' core industrial gas turbine segment (~39% of Q2 revenue).

Curtiss-Wright (CW) shares fell roughly 17.6% over the last 30 days, sliding from about $724 to near $596, despite strong second-quarter results and raised full-year guidance.

AI monetization is the pivotal debate. Following its merger with xAI and the announced $60 billion acquisition of coding-tool maker Cursor, SpaceX's artificial intelligence (AI) business is central to how analysts value the stock. Starship milestones are a structural catalyst. A reliable, high-cadence Starship would enable a transition away from the Falcon 9 workhorse and unlock higher launch volumes over the medium term.

Woodward shares declined roughly 15% over the past 30 days, falling from a July 22 close of $404.59 to $343.26 as of the most recent session.

Applied Aerospace & Defense shares trade near $15, far below the $25 level that reflects Wall Street's consensus price target of roughly $25.14. Bullish support comes from a defense and space backlog exceeding $1 billion, a Strong Buy analyst consensus, and growing U.S. and allied defense budgets.

SPCX gained +5.89% during regular trading, rising to $148.25 from Friday's $140.00 close. The advance extends a rebound that carried shares back above the $135 IPO price after the August 6 lockup expiry failed to trigger heavy selling.
