Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Moog Inc. operates in high-precision control and motion systems across four segments: Space and Defense, Military Aircraft, Commercial Aircraft, and Industrial. In Q3 fiscal 2026, Space and Defense sales were $336 million, Military Aircraft $245 million, Commercial Aircraft $254 million, and Industrial $282 million; the company therefore derives revenue from missile and spacecraft programs, aircraft equipment, spare parts, and aftermarket services, as well as pumps, medical applications, energy applications, and semiconductors.
Moog recorded revenue of $1.1 billion in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 15% year over year, gross profit of $347.2 million, net income of $152.0 million, and earnings per share of $4.74 according to EDGAR data. Gross profit was equivalent to approximately 31.6% of revenue, while sales increased across all four segments, led by 18% growth in Industrial, 17% in both Space and Defense and Commercial Aircraft, and 9% in Military Aircraft.
Adjusted operating margin reached 16.4% in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 280 basis points, but a $30 million tariff recovery added 270 basis points and approximately $0.70 to adjusted earnings per share. After excluding this recovery and the impact of the sale of a non-core product line in the comparative period, underlying operating margin improved by 80 basis points, while adjusted earnings per share were $3.72 and free cash flow was $133 million.
The available analyst rating is “Buy,” with an average price target of $131 and identical high and low targets at the same level. This target is below the bottom of the 52-week range of $190.9 and far from its peak of $448.85, revealing a contradiction between the rating and the target and warranting caution when using the consensus as a valuation anchor. No price-to-earnings ratio is available in the provided data, so a reliable comparison between valuation and earnings cannot be made from this source.

Revenue reached $1.1 billion, up 15% year over year, while net income was $152.0 million and EDGAR earnings per share were $4.74. Space and Defense and Commercial Aircraft sales each grew 17%, Industrial grew 18%, and Military Aircraft grew 9%. Results benefited from strength in missiles, space, aviation aftermarket services, and data center cooling pumps. A $30 million tariff recovery also added approximately 270 basis points to adjusted operating margin.
Management expects cooling business revenue to rise from approximately $25 million in fiscal 2025 to just under $100 million in fiscal 2026. The RM44 pump is used inside racks to cool high-performance AI processors, and the company operates three production lines with capacity of approximately 1,300 pumps per week. Moog is also developing a multi-rack cooling product that is undergoing qualification testing under the OCP V3 standard, and it expects to produce both products during fiscal 2027. However, current demand is concentrated primarily with one hyperscale computing operator through two cooling distribution unit manufacturers.
Moog expects approximately $275 million in missile program revenue in fiscal 2026, representing growth of more than 20% year over year. Management stated that plans at major customers include increasing PAC-3 production by approximately threefold and THAAD by approximately fourfold under programs extending for seven years. These increases had not reached Moog's backlog as of the July 31, 2026 call, although discussions with major customers were continuing. The company plans to add production lines within available space in Salt Lake City, with the required capital spending concentrated mainly on testing equipment.

The company raised revenue guidance by $50 million, including $30 million for Industrial, $10 million for Space and Defense, and $10 million for Military Aircraft. It raised adjusted operating margin guidance by 70 basis points to 14.1%, with this adjustment related to the tariff recovery while underlying margin expectations remained unchanged. Adjusted earnings per share guidance also increased by $1.51 to $11.65, plus or minus $0.10. Free cash flow conversion guidance rose to approximately 70% because capital expenditures were lower than previously estimated due to the timing of investments.
Adjusted operating margin reached 16.4% in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 280 basis points year over year. The tariff recovery alone contributed approximately 270 basis points, while the sale of a non-core product line in the comparative period created a 70-basis-point adverse comparison. After neutralizing both factors, underlying margin performance improved by approximately 80 basis points. The improvement therefore combines genuine operating progress with a large non-recurring contribution from the tariff recovery.
Moog generated free cash flow of $133 million in Q3 fiscal 2026, exceeding its adjusted net earnings according to management. The company kept working capital relatively stable despite strong sales growth, while capital expenditures were low because of the timing of investments. The leverage ratio was 1.5 times at the end of the quarter, supported by improved earnings and cash generation. Capital allocation priorities center on organic growth, with the potential for strategic complementary acquisitions involving limited additions to the portfolio.
