Astronics shares hit record $92.78 as trading resumes

Astronics Corporation’s shares surged to a record $92.78 on Friday, resuming trading after a brief halt, as the aerospace supplier capitalized on robust demand in the sector.

The stock’s intraday peak marked a new all-time high, extending a weekly advance of about 12% following sustained buying interest. Trading was paused for less than 15 minutes before resuming at 10:15 a.m. ET, according to exchange data.

Astronics, which provides electrical power systems and components for commercial and military aircraft, has benefited from increased air travel and defense spending. The company’s backlog remains elevated, supporting optimism for sustained revenue growth in the near term.

Analysts noted that the latest price action reflects broader strength in the aerospace and defense industry, where supply chain improvements and higher passenger demand have driven order momentum. The stock’s performance also outpaced broader equity benchmarks, which have shown mixed movement amid macroeconomic uncertainty.

The company has not issued a formal statement regarding the trading halt or the record price. Shares closed at $92.78, up 12.3% on the session and 24.5% over the past month.
