Investing.com - RBC Capital downgraded TransDigm Group (NYSE:TDG) from Outperform to Sector Perform on Monday, while lowering its price target to $1,385.00 from $1,550.00. The aerospace component manufacturer, currently valued at $71.6 billion, is trading near its 52-week low, with InvestingPro data indicating oversold conditions.
The downgrade comes despite RBC Capital considering TransDigm one of the highest quality public aerospace and defense companies in the market. This assessment aligns with the company’s impressive 59.8% gross profit margins and strong financial health score, according to InvestingPro analysis.
RBC cited a "continued period of uncertainty" for the stock as the primary reason behind its rating change, with particular concern about the unclear outlook for larger mergers and acquisitions heading into fiscal year 2026.
The investment firm also expressed doubt about the aftermarket segment’s ability to maintain its relative outperformance as the industry normalizes, even with easier fiscal year 2026 comparisons expected.
TransDigm, which specializes in aerospace components and systems, faces these challenges despite what RBC still considers to be strong fundamentals in its core business.
