Wednesday's only beat came from TransDigm $TDG, the $74B producer of aircraft parts and systems used in commercial and military planes. The company beat expectations across the board and had a +0.58 reaction score.
In the report, they posted revenues of $2.44B, above the expected $2.40B, and earnings per share beat by 78 cents.
Now let's dive into the fundamentals and technicals π
TDG has been punished for four of its last five earnings reports π»
TransDigm had a +1.1% post-earnings reaction, and here's what happened:
Revenues increased by 11.5% year-over-year, driven by defense revenues soaring 16% over the same period.
The commercial OEM segment is lagging, with year-over-year revenue growth of 7%. And over the past year, revenue has fallen by 1%.
The management team's guidance met the market's expectations.
Relative to its peers, this stock has been a major laggard over the past year and a half.
Why? The fundamentals have been deteriorating. This is shown in the consistent negative earnings reactions.
Additionally, last quarter was the worst earnings reaction since 2016.
This quarter's slightly positive reaction was the exception, not the rule. The fundamentals are still trending in the wrong direction.
And based on the technical setup, the stock could be on the cusp of a fresh leg lower. The price has been hanging on for dear life at a key volume-weighted average price, anchored to the late 2023 low.
But the more times a level is tested, the more likely it is to break.
So long as TDG holds above 1,274, the path of least resistance will likely remain sideways. A break below that level would likely result in a fresh leg lower.
Stay safe out there
