Truist raises Triumph Group target to $26 on acquisition news

On Tuesday, Truist Securities updated its outlook on Triumph Group (NYSE:TGI), increasing the price target to $26.00, up from the previous $19.00, while keeping a Hold rating on the stock. The revision follows the announcement that Triumph Group, an aerospace supplier with annual revenue of $1.21 billion and a market capitalization of $1.94 billion, is set to be acquired by private equity firms Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners in an all-cash deal valued at $3 billion. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has shown remarkable momentum with a 32.17% gain in the past week.

The acquisition price of $26 per share matches the new price target set by Truist Securities and approaches the stock’s 52-week high of $25.34. Analyst Michael Ciarmoli explained the decision to adjust the price target, noting that the move was a direct response to the acquisition announcement made earlier in the day. The transaction is expected to deliver significant value to Triumph Group’s shareholders.

In his statement, Ciarmoli pointed out that the stock was trading at approximately $25.30 in pre-market activity, closely aligning with the proposed acquisition price. The Hold rating suggests that the analyst sees limited potential for further price movement given the terms of the acquisition.

The deal between Triumph Group and the consortium led by Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners is set to take the aerospace supplier private. The enterprise value of $3 billion includes the assumption of Triumph Group’s debt.

The market response to the acquisition news and the updated price target from Truist Securities is likely to be watched closely by investors, as the transaction progresses towards completion. Triumph Group’s stock is expected to remain around the acquisition price as the deal moves forward.
