Earnings Estimate Revision & Surprise History

The company has an average four-quarter positive earnings surprise of 10.13%.
In the past 12 months, Teledyne Technologies’ shares have surged 50.6% compared with the industry’s rise of 28.6%.
Debt/Capital & Current Ratio
Teledyne Technologies is consistently striving to preserve balance-sheet strength. Currently, the company has a current ratio of 1.48. Its financial strength will enable the company to meet near-term debt obligation. Its long-term debt-to-capital ratio is 24.67%, lower than the Zacks S&P 500 composite’s level of 43.16% and the industry’s 29.72%.
Favorable Budget & Increasing Contract Wins
The macroeconomic environment has been increasing growth prospects of Teledyne given widespread geo-political uncertainty and the current U.S. administration’s inclination toward higher defense spending. Defense spending for fiscal 2020 is pegged at $750 billion, which suggests 4.4% increase from the nation’s existing defense budget. Increasing spending provisions is expected to drive order growth for defense contractors like Teledyne Technologies.
Higher contract wins bolster the company’s backlog. Keeping up with its usual trend, in the third quarter, the company witnessed consistent backlog growth as orders exceeded sales for the sixth consecutive quarter. Impressively, the company ended the third quarter with the largest backlog in over four years. Such backlog trends indicate impressive revenue growth prospects for the company in the quarters ahead.
