Aerospace Momentum Drives Growth Amid Robust Defense Spending
Parker-Hannifin Corporation is experiencing solid momentum in its Aerospace Systems segment, driven by strength in commercial aerospace and defense markets. The segment’s organic revenues jumped 13.3% year over year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, with orders rising 18% on a rolling 12-month basis. The company’s backlog hit an all-time high of $8.5 billion, and management projects 7-10% organic sales growth for the segment in fiscal 2027.
