Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Transdigm Group Incorporated stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the past six months, TransDigm’s shares have underperformed the industry’s average return. TransDigm is seeing some negative trends at present, like weaker defense aftermarket orders and soft business jet, helicopter and freighter revenues, which might pressure its top line growth in the near future. The company expects almost flat growth in defense military revenue in the near term, in light of recent global events and the resultant political uncertainty. Moreover, mounting interest expenses and escalating debt burden continue to bother the company’s financials. In addition, the company faces significant integration risks and expenses. However, on the positive side, TransDigm’s strong growth in commercial aftermarket revenues looks impressive. Also, the company’s strong inorganic growth adds to its strength." (10/11/2017)
• 2. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "We're downgrading TDG to Market Perform from Outperform with a $219 price target (13x C17E EV/EBITDA). The outside prospect of a DoD inquiry, potential elimination of the interest deductibility for tax purposes, high financial leverage and headline risks are apt to put a lid on the stock's multiple." (3/22/2017)
• 3. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, " Specifically, we believe the price increase data does not disclose that the average volume on these orders went down substantially, by ~70%, and that there was an average of six years between these orders cited in the letter. We think this data presents a more complete picture, and in this light the price increases look much less aggressive, in our view. Moreover, the letter again highlights just five examples of price increases. We believe that of the over 200,000 examples in the Haystack Gold data, the average price increase for TDG pre- and post-acquisition was ~9%, and closer to 7% annually on average, which is above peer companies, but significantly less egregious than implied by the short reports."Herbert comments, "While we believe the stock may be challenged in the near future, we are maintaining our BUY rating and $300 price target. Our price target is based on the blend of a 25x EPS multiple and a 15x EBITDA multiple, applied to our adjusted FY17 estimates. We continue to believe multiples at the upper end of the historical range are appropriate considering the potential for accelerated growth from acquisitions, other capital deployment opportunities, strong industry execution and FCF." (3/22/2017)
• 4. Wellington Shields analysts commented, "The letter follows allegations made by a short firm, which has continued to pressure TransDigm's shares. In our discussion with the Company, TransDigm generates 7% of its revenue from the US government, includ 5% direct and 2& through brokers/distributors. In addition, another 12% of TransDigm's revenue is sold to domestic defense OEMs" (3/21/2017)
• 5. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (The) analysts commented, "We met with CEO Nick Howley at Transdigm headquarters in Cleveland, OH. Investor questions in the meeting were focused on recent concerns raised by third parties, and management was willing to walk through all of those items in detail (we outline their comments below). From our perspective: (1) these specific concerns focus on minority pieces of the business (defined by % of revenue), while our thesis remains largely focused on the majority of the business - commercial aerospace aftermarket, and that component's consistency of growth, profit margins and cash flow conversion; and (2) the discussion on core fundamentals remains positive, including ongoing strong industry indicators in commercial aftermarket, an improving defense end market picture, and margin opportunities."
