TransDigm Group closed its fiscal 2026 with another quarter above Wall Street's expectations, posting adjusted EPS of $12.44 against the $12.21 consensus estimate, a beat of roughly 1.9%. Revenue of $2.99 billion topped the $2.95 billion consensus by 1.44% and rose 22.6% from the same quarter a year earlier, with CEO Mike Lisman noting the results exceeded the high end of the company's own guidance on both revenue and EBITDA As Defined.
Fourteen percentage points of the quarter's revenue gain came from organic sources, a meaningful figure given how heavily the aerospace components maker has leaned on deals this year. EBITDA As Defined expanded 20% to $1.58 billion, though the margin settled at 53.0%, dipping partly because the recent acquisition wave shaved roughly two percentage points off that figure.
Fiscal 2026 was an unusually active capital deployment year. Lisman said the company invested approximately $4.4 billion in acquisitions, including Simmonds Precision Products, Jet Parts Engineering, Victor Sierra Aviation, Prince & Izant, and twelve bolt-on deals at the operating-unit level. Combined with a record $2.8 billion in share repurchases, total capital deployed for the year exceeded $7 billion.

Looking into fiscal 2027, management issued guidance for adjusted EPS of $47.09 to $47.94, representing a roughly 15% jump at the midpoint. Net sales guidance of $11.95 billion to $12.15 billion assumes high-single-digit to low-double-digit commercial OEM revenue growth, high-single-digit commercial aftermarket growth, and high-single-digit defense growth. EBITDA As Defined is expected to land around a 52.0% margin, reflecting continued but moderating acquisition dilution.
Investors will want to monitor how well the company integrates its recent purchases while managing a substantially higher debt load. Rising interest expense and higher taxes weighed on GAAP net income in the quarter, even as the adjusted earnings picture remained strong. Lisman said TransDigm enters fiscal 2027 with significant liquidity and the financial flexibility to pursue additional deals, suggesting the acquisition cadence is unlikely to slow.
