TransDigm Group (NYSE:TDG) is a designer, producer and supplier of engineered aircraft components for use on commercial and military aircraft. TransDigm’s shares moved higher during the second calendar quarter on better than expected results in the company’s commercial aftermarket business, the acquisition of Data Device Corporation and the raising of additional debt capital, which may signal the possibility of future mergers & acquisitions or a special dividend. Moreover, TransDigm’s investor meeting in late-June provided additional information regarding the strength and durability of the company’s business model and strategy for the foreseeable future.
