TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG extension – Free report) is scheduled to report results for the fiscal second quarter of 2023 on May 9, before the market opens.
TransDigm delivered a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 7.60%. Rising demand for air travel and efforts to manage costs are likely to improve the company’s future results.
Power and control segment to increase revenue
Recent rapid growth in domestic air travel, along with the steady recovery seen in international air traffic with China reopening its air travel in January, is expected to boost organic sales of TDG’s commercial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and commercial businesses for after sales services.
This, in turn, is likely to have contributed to the Power & Control segment’s earnings in the upcoming quarter.
Also, solid bookings in previous quarters may have benefited this segment’s defense revenue in the upcoming quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Power & Control segment’s revenue for the fiscal second quarter was pegged at $773.6 million, indicating a 9.3% improvement over the prior-quarter level.
Airframe segment – another revenue contributor
Thanks to the solid air travel demand of late, the continued recovery in production and deliveries of both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft should have supported the highest growth in the Aiframe segment in the quarter to be reported.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenue in the fiscal second quarter was pegged at $680.9 million, representing an increase of 17.6% over the reported figure for the prior quarter.
Q2 forecasts
With most of TransDigm’s segments expected to report improvement in sales, this makes one bullish on the company’s top-line growth in the upcoming quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales was pegged at $1.50 billion, indicating a 13.3% improvement over the number recorded in the prior year.
The company’s operational excellence and cost minimization efforts are expected to boost the bottom line. Also, the continued recovery in aftermarket revenue is likely to have benefited TDG’s quarterly margin, thereby boosting earnings.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings was pegged at $5.42 per share, marking a 40.4% increase from the figure reported a year ago.
