from the world of economics and financeTransDigm Group Incorporated TDG is slated to report first-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Feb. 4, before market open.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
TransDigm delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 8.43%. The improving growth trends in commercial air travel and strong defense sales are likely to have bolstered the quarterly performance.
Strong sales from the commercial aftermarket, backed by steadily improving commercial air travel demand and the resulting higher flight hours and utilization of aircraft, are likely to have contributed favorably to revenues from the Power & Control segment. Improved sales from the commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) businesses, driven by continued recovery in both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, are also expected to have bolstered this segment’s top line.
Also, an improving U.S. government defense spending trend is likely to have added an impetus to the defense part of the Power & Control segment in the fiscal first quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Power & Control segment’s fiscal first-quarter revenues is pegged at $977 million, indicating a 10.4% improvement from the year-ago quarter’s figure.

Sales from the Airframe segment are likely to have been boosted by the strong air travel growth and rising demand for this unit’s defense products, backed by solid government funding support.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s fiscal first-quarter revenues is pegged at $935.1 million, indicating 8.5% growth from the prior-year quarter’s actual.
Strong sales expectations from both of its primary segments, which constitute approximately 97% of TDG’s total revenues, are likely to have bolstered its overall quarterly revenue performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for TDG’s fiscal first-quarter sales is pegged at $1.99 billion, indicating an improvement of 11.5% from the prior-year number.
A strong top line is likely to have boosted TDG’s overall margin performance, thereby contributing favorably to its quarterly bottom line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $9.25 per share, indicating an increase of 15.2% from the year-ago figure.
However, the persistent OEM supply-chain issues and the lingering effects of the machinist's strike at Boeing (which was resolved in November 2024) are expected to have some adverse impact on the overall fiscal first-quarter results of TDG.
Moreover, the company expects weak bookings to have had some effect on its commercial aftermarket revenue growth.
