TransDigm (TDG) Q4 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Miss
Read MoreHide Full Article
TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG - Free Report) is a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components that are used in in-service commercial and military aircraft. The company has an extensive portfolio of proprietary products, which boosts its competitive position.
TransDigm is seeing some negative trends at present, like weaker defense aftermarket orders and soft business jet, helicopter and freighter revenues, which is hurting its prospects. Softness in global macroeconomic conditions is impacting air travel, adding to the company’s woes. The company has some concerns about the commercial transport industry in the coming times as well. These factors have been hurting its financials in recent times.
However, on the positive side, about 90% of TDG’s sales are generated by proprietary products, that is, products for which the company owns the intellectual property. This translates into consistent and sustained revenue generation capacity through all phases of the aerospace cycle.
The company has had a robust earnings history. It has trumped the Zacks Consensus Estimate each time in the trailing four quarters, with an average positive surprise of 3%.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +18.8% from 2016 - Q1 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +157.0%, +128.0%, +97.8%, +94.7%, and +90.2% respectively.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - Q1 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 11X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
