Where TDG is headed
TransDigm Group (NYSE:TDG) generates nearly 60% gross margins selling aircraft components that cost $200 but ground a $150 million airplane if they fail. That pricing power isn't a bug; it's the entire business model. By late 2027, TDG should be running north of $9.5 billion in revenue (up from roughly $8.2 billion trailing), driven by three forces converging at once: a global commercial fleet that's aging because Boeing and Airbus can't deliver new planes fast enough, rising defense budgets across NATO and Pacific allies, and a growing installed base of proprietary sole-source parts from TDG's relentless acquisition machine. The aftermarket (where TDG earns its fattest margins) benefits directly from every year airlines keep older aircraft flying instead of replacing them.
