barrons2	Woodward Governor (WGOV) has a solid wind business, but it isn't highlighted or even known. There were no questions about its wind turbine business on the call last week despite blow-out numbers that I am sure came, in part, from wind, although management specifically mentioned wind in its press release.

barrons2	Cramer then focused on the nacelle, the structure that houses a windmill's turbine. Here, he identified Woodward Governor (WGOV), Thomas & Betts (TNB) and Kaydon (KDN) as the companies to own for turbines, bearings and the other components found in the nacelle.	Love	May 29, 2008
barrons2	That's fabulous for the following game ideas: Trinity (TRN), for the actual turbines; Woodward Governor (WGOV) -- profiled last night on "Mad Money" -- for the transmission and turbine innards; Owens Corning (OC) for the fiberglass wind blades; and Quanta (PWR) for installation.

barrons2	Buy - Price 28.40 on March 18 by Kevin Dann & Partners WGOV is the world's largest independent designer and manufacturer of energy-control solutions for aircraft and industrial engines and turbines. [All airlines must now] combat high fuel costs, [with] crude oil currently trading above $100/barrel. Woodward benefits in this type of environment, as its aircraft-engine components reduce costs through improved efficiency. We believe that a portion of the cost savings may come in the form of more fuel-efficient engines. Market-cap: $2 billion....In our opinion, long-term equity investors should accumulate WGOV shares. Reiterating our Buy rating and 37 target, [derived] by applying a 12.5 times EV/Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization] multiple to our FY2008 estimates...due to WGOV's strong organic growth, healthy balance sheet (87 cents a share in cash, post-split, and 0% net debt to capitalization), and free-cash-flow generation. Market-cap: $2 billion.	Love	March 22, 2008
