- TransDigm reported strong fiscal fourth-quarter sales and adjusted earnings growth for the period ended September 30, 2026.
- Fiscal 2027 guidance points to continued expansion across commercial OEM, commercial aftermarket and defense markets.
- Recent acquisitions and higher financing costs remain central risks for earnings quality and margin execution.
TransDigm reported strong fiscal fourth-quarter results on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and set a new growth benchmark for fiscal 2027. The aerospace-components supplier increased quarterly sales and adjusted earnings, while higher interest and tax expenses reduced reported net income.
According to the PR Newswire release carried by Morningstar, sales for the quarter ended September 30 rose 23 percent year over year to 2.988 billion US dollars. Reported earnings per share increased 33 percent to 10.33 US dollars, while adjusted earnings per share advanced 15 percent to 12.44 US dollars.
Growth Comes With Financing Pressure
EBITDA As Defined rose 20 percent to 1.583 billion US dollars, but its margin fell to 53.0 percent from 54.2 percent a year earlier. TransDigm said recent acquisitions diluted the margin by about two percentage points.
Net income declined 4 percent to 586 million US dollars from 609 million US dollars. Higher interest expense linked to greater gross debt and higher tax expense offset part of the operating improvement. Adjusted net income rose 12 percent to 706 million US dollars.
TransDigm completed the 1.07 billion US dollar cash acquisition of Prince & Izant during the quarter. It also issued 3.0 billion US dollars of new senior secured notes and repurchased about 1.8 billion US dollars of notes due in 2028. Share repurchases totaled about 2.8 billion US dollars in fiscal 2026.
Fiscal 2027 Sets The Next Test
Management guides to fiscal 2027 sales of 11.950 billion to 12.150 billion US dollars, implying 14 percent growth at the midpoint from fiscal 2026. Adjusted earnings per share are expected at 47.09 to 47.94 US dollars, while EBITDA As Defined is forecast at 6.195 billion to 6.345 billion US dollars with a margin of about 52.0 percent.
Commercial OEM revenue is expected to grow in the high-single-digit to low-double-digit range. Commercial aftermarket and defense revenue are each projected to increase at a high-single-digit rate. For investors, the key issue is whether demand growth can offset acquisition-related margin dilution and higher financing costs.
