Analysts are anticipating more upside for TDY.

Teledyne Technologies ended the second quarter of 2021 on an impressive note, with both its earnings and revenues surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The fiscal budget expansion will aid growth for Teledyne’s defense business. Apart from generating organic growth through product sales, the company has been gaining significantly from strategic acquisitions. Teledyne expects FLIR acquisition to contribute sales of just under $1.3 billion in 2021. It also holds a strong solvency position over the short run. As more airlines order for Boeing’s 737 jets, Teledyne will benefit as a valued supplier of this fleet. The company’s shares have outperformed the industry in the past year. However, continued weakness in the commercial aerospace industry is likely to affect the markets of Teledyne’s commercial aviation businesses. 

Over the past four weeks, shares have rallied 6.84%, and there have been 1 higher earnings estimate revisions in the past two months for fiscal 2021 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
