Moog fell sharply over the week, a big move for the stock and larger than the S&P 500 and its Industrials sector.
The news was mostly product announcements, such as new amplifiers and a music tools partnership, which likely had little bearing on the drop.
Trading was heavy, and the shares remain well above their lowest close of the past year but well below their highest, reached in mid-August.
