What's in Store for TransDigm Group's (TDG) Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Transdigm Group Incorporated (TDG - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter fiscal 2020 results on May 5, before market open.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 8.11%. Moreover, earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters by 10.67%, on average.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play
We expect commercial after-market sales to have boosted Transdigm Group’s top-line performance in the first quarter, keeping up with its usual trend. Further, positive synergies from the Esterline buyout are expected to have contributed significantly to the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
In line with this, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.43 billion, indicating an annual improvement of 19.5%.
However, commercial OEM market sales are expected to reflect signs of weakness primarily due to Boeing’s (BA - Free Report) 737 MAX production rate cuts. Further, due to the ongoing crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the company might have been unable to make significant deliveries during the latter part of the quarter. This is likely to have negatively impacted the to-be-reported quarter’s bottom line.
In line with this, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings stands at $4.18 per share, implying a marginal 0.7% fall from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
