A strong stock as of late has been Moog (MOG.A). Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 12.7% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $250.78 in the previous session. Moog has gained 26.5% since the start of the year compared to the 34.9% gain for the Zacks Aerospace sector and the 33.1% return for the Zacks Aerospace - Defense Equipment industry.What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on November 21, 2025, Moog reported EPS of $2.56 versus consensus estimate of $2.24.For the current fiscal year, Moog is expected to post earnings of $9.83 per share on $4.21 in revenues. This represents a 13.12% change in EPS on a 8.82% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $11.4 per share on $4.36 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 15.97% and 3.58%, respectively.Valuation MetricsMoog may be at a 52-week high right now, but what might the future hold for the stock? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.Moog has a Value Score of B. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are A and A, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 25.3X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 37.9X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 20.6X versus its peer group's average of 30.1X. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.Zacks RankWe also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Moog currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to a solid earnings estimate revision trend.Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Moog passes the test. Thus, it seems as though Moog shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double"Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months.
