TransDigm Group Beats Everywhere and Raises Guidance After Losing Stellant
TransDigm Group (TDG) closed its fiscal third quarter with results that beat Street estimates across every line item on the income statement. Revenue climbed to $2,741 million, up 22.53% year over year and 7.74% sequentially, clearing the Street’s $2,674 million estimate by 2.50%. Adjusted EPS of $10.87 beat the $10.33 estimate by 5.25%, and net income of $624 million topped forecasts by 4.59%.
The growth was broad. Commercial OEM revenue rose 17% pro forma, with commercial transport OEM, excluding bizjets, up 25% as Boeing and Airbus continued to lift build rates. Commercial aftermarket revenue grew 17%, accelerating from 14% in the second quarter. Defense revenue rose 11% on new business wins and steady backlog growth. Management raised full fiscal 2026 guidance to match: a $10.51 billion revenue midpoint, up 19% year over year, and $5.52 billion in EBITDA As Defined, up 16%, with adjusted EPS now guided to $41.04.
That growth came with a cost. EBITDA As Defined margin held at 52.79%, beating the Street’s 52.20% estimate, but it still sits 161 basis points below the prior-year period. EBIT margin fell further, down 168 basis points year over year to 44.76%, as more than two full percentage points of dilution from the Simmonds Precision, Jet Parts Engineering, and Victor Sierra acquisitions worked through the model. Management is betting that dilution fades as those businesses integrate, and argues the base business alone still expanded margins on a constant-mix basis.
The bigger swing this quarter was strategic. TransDigm withdrew from its planned Stellant acquisition in mid-July after the Department of Justice signaled it would challenge the deal, then pivoted within weeks to announce the $1.1 billion purchase of Prince & Izant, a brazing-alloys and specialty-components maker generating $360 million in 2026 revenue. CEO Mike Lisman addressed the reversal directly on the Q3 earnings call: “We think it’s a one-off, not in any way indicative of our ability to get future deals through.” He noted the Jet Parts and Victor Sierra deals cleared regulatory review after Stellant was filed, and pointed to more than $10 billion of remaining M&A firepower.
Cash generation lagged the rest of the print. Cash from operations of $724 million missed the Street’s $740 million estimate by 2.21%, even as TransDigm repurchased $980 million of stock in the quarter and ended with $2.8 billion in cash against a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 5.8x.

TIKR Values TransDigm Stock at $1,535, Pricing In Continued Aftermarket Strength
TIKR’s mid-case model values TransDigm at $1,535 by September 2030, implying a 20% total return from the current price of $1,275, or 5% annualized over 4.1 years.
That annualized return sits toward the lower end of what investors in industrial compounders with TransDigm’s aftermarket exposure typically underwrite, reflecting TransDigm stock’s premium for proprietary content and pricing power that the market already pays for.
The target is reachable because the drivers behind it were on display this quarter: commercial aftermarket accelerating to 17% growth, defense backlog building toward fiscal 2027, and margin dilution from recent acquisitions that management expects to fade as Simmonds, Jet Parts, and Victor Sierra integrate. Continued double-digit growth across all three channels, plus the M&A capacity TransDigm still has in reserve, is what the model is underwriting.
TIKR’s model puts TransDigm stock at a $1,535 target, a 20% total return from here. Pull up the full valuation on TIKR for free →
