Why ATRO dropped

Astronics posted a strong Q2 2026 (reported Aug 11) with revenue and EPS beating estimates and raised full-year guidance, sending the stock to an all-time high of $93.45; it has since drifted down 20% with no specific negative headline, suggesting profit-taking after a big run rather than a business problem.
