The Read
TransDigm Group Incorporated has reported, and this is the earnings review: what the quarter delivered against the Street's expectations, and what it means for the underlying business. Actual EPS landed at $10.87 against the $10.30 consensus — a surprise of 5.52% — on revenue of $2.74B versus a $2.68B estimate.
An earnings print only matters if it connects to the durable trend. The trailing-twelve-month revenue change is 16.65% while the TTM EPS change is 9.42%, so the rest of this review tests whether the quarter reinforced that direction across cash flow, margins, and the forward setup rather than simply clearing a bar.

The Quarter Reported
Start with the scorecard. TransDigm Group Incorporated posted EPS of $10.87 against the $10.30 analysts modeled, an EPS surprise of 5.52%, while revenue of $2.74B compared with the $2.68B consensus for a revenue surprise of 2.37%.
The two surprises together say more than either alone, because a revenue-led result is more durable than one carried by a tax item or a share-count effect on EPS. This section treats the print as a data point about execution against expectations; whether it changed the thesis is decided by the trend lines and the forward outlook below.
Earnings scorecard: reported vs expected
The quarter's actual EPS and revenue against the Street's consensus, with the forward-quarter setup.
TDG TTM revenue Chart
TTM revenue keeps the quarterly review focused on the most recent four-quarter business base.
Latest revenue TTM growth: 16.65%.
Revenue TTM growth of 16.65% is the first quarterly-review checkpoint. It shows whether the latest reported periods are still adding to the business base.
Revenue And Earnings Direction
The TTM revenue change of 16.65% is most useful beside the net income change of 10.20%. When sales and earnings move apart, the review shifts from a growth story to a margin story. The EPS change of 9.42% then shows what the latest reporting cycle actually delivered per share after buybacks and mix.
TDG TTM net income Chart
Net income TTM history checks whether revenue momentum is reaching the bottom line.
Latest net income TTM growth: 10.20%.
Net income TTM growth of 10.20% is the earnings-conversion check. If it diverges from revenue growth, the review should focus on margins rather than only sales.
TDG EPS Chart
EPS connects reported earnings momentum to the per-share outcome.
Latest EPS TTM growth: 9.42%.
EPS TTM growth of 9.42% shows what the recent reporting cycle delivered per share. It is most useful beside revenue and margin data, not as a standalone verdict.
Cash Flow Conversion
Cash conversion is the honesty check on the earnings line. The free-cash-flow change of 1.10% either confirms the EPS result or challenges it, and an earnings review is incomplete when it reports a beat or miss without asking whether cash generation moved the same way.
TDG TTM free cash flow Chart
Free cash flow TTM is the cash-conversion counterpoint to earnings momentum.
Latest FCF TTM growth: 1.10%.
Free-cash-flow TTM growth of 1.10% can confirm or challenge the earnings story. A quarterly review is incomplete if cash conversion is moving differently from EPS.
Margin Quality
Margin quality decides whether the revenue base is becoming more profitable. Operating margin is 46.19%, gross margin is 59.57%, and net margin is 21.28%. The margin chart belongs here because this is the section that explains why earnings can diverge from sales after a print.
TDG operating margin
Operating margin shows whether the latest revenue base is becoming more or less profitable.
Operating margin (TTM): 46.19%. The bars below are individual quarters, so the latest bar can differ from this trailing-twelve-month figure.
Operating margin (TTM) of 46.19% is the quality read across the last four quarters. The review should become more cautious if growth is present but margin quality is fading.
Forward Outlook
The market trades on the next quarter, not the last one. Consensus models $11.65 in EPS and $2.93B in revenue for the coming quarter, with the next report due November 11, 2026. The forward setup is what turns a backward-looking print into a thesis: a result paired with a soft forward bar reads very differently from one paired with a rising one.
Comparing the just-reported quarter against that forward estimate is one way to test whether expectations are catching up to the business or running ahead of it. The TTM revenue change of 16.65% is the reference point; estimate uncertainty and reporting-basis differences remain limitations.
Valuation Reset
Valuation resets with every print. The market is paying 38.13x trailing earnings and the free-cash-flow yield is 2.65%. A quarter matters most when the valuation has not already priced every improvement in advance, so the multiple is the lens that decides how much the surprise should move the view.
TDG P/E ratio Chart
P/E history keeps the quarterly review connected to what investors are paying for the updated fundamentals.
Latest P/E ratio: 38.13x.
The P/E ratio at 38.13x is the market's price on the quarterly evidence. Improving fundamentals matter more when the multiple does not already assume too much progress.
Bull/Bear Case
The bull case is that revenue, earnings, cash flow, and margins moved together this quarter while the valuation at 38.13x remains explainable against the forward setup. The bear case is a split between reported earnings and cash generation, or a forward bar that asks too much of the next print. The case work sits before the final read so the review does not end as a recap.
Bull and bear case
Quarterly support
- Revenue TTM growth of 16.65% supports the latest operating momentum.
- Net margin of 21.28% keeps the quarterly review connected to earnings quality.
Quarterly pressure
- Free-cash-flow TTM growth of 1.10% can weaken the read if cash conversion lags earnings.
- The valuation still has to be checked against a P/E ratio of 38.13x.
Final Read
The earnings review is useful only when the print, the trend lines, cash conversion, margin quality, the forward outlook, and the valuation reset tell a coherent story. The source snapshot is dated August 14, 2026.
