SG&A Efficiency: A Tale of Two Corporations

In the competitive landscape of industrial manufacturing, understanding the efficiency of Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses is crucial. Over the past decade, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation and Curtiss-Wright Corporation have demonstrated contrasting trends in their SG&A expenditures. From 2014 to 2023, Westinghouse's SG&A expenses surged by approximately 250%, peaking at $1.139 billion in 2023. In contrast, Curtiss-Wright maintained a more stable trajectory, with a modest increase of around 17% over the same period, reaching $496 million in 2023. This divergence highlights Westinghouse's aggressive expansion strategy, while Curtiss-Wright's steady approach suggests a focus on operational efficiency. As these companies navigate the evolving industrial landscape, their SG&A strategies will be pivotal in shaping their competitive edge.
