TransDigm delivered a beat-and-raise second quarter, with GAAP revenue up roughly 18% year over year (organic growth of approximately 11%) as all three channels grew: commercial aftermarket rose about 14%, commercial OEM about 12%, and defense about 11%. EBITDA as defined margin reached 52.6% even after nearly two points of dilution from recent acquisitions, and Q2 commercial aftermarket bookings hit an all-time high. Management raised full-year fiscal 2026 guidance again, lifting the sales midpoint by $420 million to $10.36 billion (up about 17%) and EBITDA as defined by $210 million to $5.42 billion, with the adjusted EPS guidance midpoint now $39.52. After quarter-end the company closed the Jet Parts Engineering and Victor Sierra acquisitions and repurchased about $800 million of stock, while retaining more than $10 billion of M&A firepower. The main overhang is the Middle East conflict, which slowed March global RPM growth to 2.1% and cut Middle East carrier RFQs by more than 50%, though management has seen no meaningful aftermarket impact yet and raised aftermarket guidance regardless.
