Why TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE:TDG) Could Be Worth Watching

Let's talk about the popular TransDigm Group Incorporated (NYSE:TDG). The company's shares received a lot of attention from a substantial price movement on the NYSE over the last few months, increasing to US$551 at one point, and dropping to the lows of US$461. Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price. A question to answer is whether TransDigm Group's current trading price of US$506 reflective of the actual value of the large-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let’s take a look at TransDigm Group’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change.

Is TransDigm Group still cheap?

According to my valuation model, TransDigm Group seems to be fairly priced at around 5.6% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy TransDigm Group today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $536.52, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that TransDigm Group’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.

What kind of growth will TransDigm Group generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. TransDigm Group’s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 95%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? TDG’s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?

Are you a potential investor? If you’ve been keeping an eye on TDG, now may not be the most optimal time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for the company, which means it’s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
