What's in the Cards for TransDigm Group's (TDG) Q4 Earnings?

Transdigm Group Incorporated TDG is set to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2019 results on Nov 19, before market open.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 14.85%. Moreover, it surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, with average positive earnings surprise of 10.71%.

Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.

Factors at Play

Commercial aftermarket sales have been consistently boosting Transdigm Group’s top-line performance over the last few quarters. Considering the OEM and defense aftermarket sales, Transdigm Group has been witnessing solid revenue growth alongside continued booking strength in defense products for the first three quarters of fiscal 2019. In sync with this, the company, in the third-quarter earnings call, announced its anticipation to generate moderate defense sales growth for the fourth quarter.

Considering the aforementioned developments, we anticipate such trends to have boosted the company’s top line in the fourth quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $1,663 million, indicating an improvement of 58.5% from fourth-quarter fiscal 2018.

Apart from these organic sales contribution, Transdigm Group closed the Esterline Technologies acquisition in March for $4 billion. Positive synergies from this buyout are expected to have contributed to Transdigm Group’s bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.

In line with this, for fourth-quarter earnings, the Zacks Consensus Estimate stands at $5.08 per share, implying 14.4% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
