Mike Lisman
Boeing's production recovery is supporting Transdigm's commercial OEM growth, though bumpiness is expected to persist.
Evidence
“it is good to see both Boeing and Airbus steadily ramping up their production rates. They expect to continue doing so in coming months and quarters.”
External signals
Supply-chain alpha · 1returns since call
Transdigm's commercial aftermarket growth lags the broader market by 5-6 percentage points, half of which is from lumpiness in distribution and airline inventory, suggesting a potential tailwind for TDG as that normalizes.
Evidence
“roughly half of the five or six percentage points growth gap is from our underexposure on engine content versus the rest of market, and the remaining half comes from lumpiness in our distribution channel and at airlines”
