Upturn Advisory & Investor View for TDG

11/10/2026: TDG (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

TransDigm Group Incorporated is a leading provider of highly engineered, proprietary aerospace components, primarily focusing on products essential for aircraft operation and maintenance. The company is well-known for its disciplined 'buy-and-build' strategy, which has generated significant cash flows and historically strong margins. Its primary investment story centers on the durable, high-margin nature of its aftermarket business as global aviation demand grows. However, investors must consider risks including high leverage, significant regulatory scrutiny regarding pricing, and potential production slowdowns from major OEMs. The stock may best suit growth-oriented investors who can tolerate volatility and monitor the company's ability to successfully integrate new acquisitions.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
TDG receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
TDG has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+21.0%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 20.6%) are partially offset by very low insider ownership of 0.41%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
TDG's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.8B (20.6% of revenue). Liquidity is solid (4 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is TDG's strongest growth driver at +21.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+11.2%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (-3.4%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 97.7% and approximately 99.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.41%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
TDG generates approximately $580 of gross profit, $476 of operating income, and $206 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 21.11%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
TDG has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
