Cost of Revenue Trends: A Tale of Two Industries

In the ever-evolving landscape of American business, the cost of revenue is a critical metric that reflects a company's efficiency and market dynamics. This chart provides a fascinating comparison between Curtiss-Wright Corporation, a stalwart in the aerospace and defense sector, and American Airlines Group Inc., a giant in the aviation industry, from 2014 to 2023.

Over this period, American Airlines experienced a significant fluctuation in its cost of revenue, with a notable dip in 2020, likely due to the global pandemic's impact on air travel. However, by 2023, the airline's cost of revenue surged by approximately 64% from its 2020 low, highlighting a robust recovery.

In contrast, Curtiss-Wright's cost of revenue remained relatively stable, with a modest increase of around 21% over the same period. This stability underscores the resilience of the aerospace and defense sector, even amidst global uncertainties.
