Price Target

Wells Fargo Upgrades TransDigm Gr to Overweight, Raises Price Target to $1500

U.S. stocks advanced midday Tuesday, demonstrating resilience despite escalating geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties between the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">world&#8217;s two largest economies.</a>
China responded to President Donald Trump&#8216;s 10% import tariff with targeted countermeasures, including restrictions on key mineral exports to the U.S. and tariffs on American energy products.
Beijing is raising tariffs by 10%-15% on select U.S. imports, including coal, liquefied natural gas, crude oil, agricultural machinery and vehicles. Additionally, China added PVH Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) and Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) to its &#8220;Unreliable Entity List,&#8221; citing the need to &#8220;safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests,&#8221; and opened an antitrust investigation on Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).
Market participants had anticipated a call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday, but media reports indicated the conversation would not happen today.
The trade developments had an immediate impact on oil markets, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures plunging 3% overnight to as low as $70 per barrel. 
Yet, prices rebounded sharply Tuesday morning following reports that Trump is considering issuing a memorandum aimed at inflicting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43469234/trump-prepares-maximum-pressure-on-iran-oil-jumps-above-73-energy-stocks-rally">maximum economic damage on Iran</a>, potentially leading to a sharp decline in Iranian oil production.
Energy stocks outperformed on the day, while utilities lagged. 
Among individual stocks, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) rocketed 22% after posting strong earnings and a revenue beat. 
In the commodities market, gold added more than 1%, extending its all-time high, and silver jumped 2.2%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) declined 2% to $99,000.

TransDigm Gr's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDG#NYSE">TDG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.09% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.12 million shares sold short, which is 2.62% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.22 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>TransDigm Gr Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738075522_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for TransDigm Gr has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing TransDigm Gr's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, TransDigm Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.61%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

The commercial aerospace sector is gaining altitude, driven by surging demand for passenger travel, robust freight activity, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">resurgence in aircraft orders</a>.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, CFA, air traffic recovery is exceeding expectations, with growth now outpacing GDP by more than double. 
The sector&#8217;s strong fundamentals, buoyed by tight supply chains and rising aftermarket revenues, are positioning key aerospace stocks for a significant takeoff.
Here&#8217;s what you need to know — and the top stocks analysts say you should have on your radar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Traffic Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels</h3>
&#8220;The overall commercial aerospace market is fundamentally strong,&#8221; said Poponak in a note Thursday. 
Global passenger traffic continues its remarkable climb as international air traffic jumped 9% year-over-year (yoy) in September, following an 11% yoy increase in August, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Passenger capacity rose in lockstep, up 9% and 10% yoy, respectively.
Goldman Sachs forecasts another 9% yoy gain for October based on airline reports. 
Forward airline schedules indicate that global passenger capacity will grow by 6% to 7% year-over-year through November, December, and January, reflecting sustained demand as travel appetite remains strong.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Freight Market Delivers Double-Digit Growth</h3>
The recovery isn't limited to passengers. International freight traffic surged 11% yoy in September, following a 12% yoy gain in August, with freight capacity expanding by 8% yoy in both months. 
Major cargo players FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service Inc.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing, Airbus Rack Up Orders</h3>

Aerospace Ready To Take Off: Goldman Sachs Reveals 11 Top Picks In The Sector

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are targeting lowering government spending with the newly announced Department of Government Efficiency (or D.O.G.E. for short). An aircraft component company is named as the perfect place for the duo to start in a new short report from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/the-bear-cave">The Bear Cave.</a>
What Happened: President-elect Donald Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently"> announced the Department of Government Efficiency</a> recently and Musk said the new department will "send shockwaves through the system, and involve anyone involved in government waste."
A short <a href="https://thebearcave.substack.com/p/problems-at-transdigm-tdg">report </a>from The Bear Cave author Edwin Dorsey suggests the D.O.G.E. should start with aircraft component company TransDigm (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDG#NYSE">TDG</a>), which has a market capitalization of $72 billion.
The short report alleges TransDigm has used acquisitions to become the sole producer of some aircraft parts and in return raised prices for customers, which includes the Department of Defense.
Benzinga reached out to TransDigm for comment and did not hear back at publication.
"Prices for TransDigm parts have increased 40%+ per year for decades and the company has faced numerous allegations of price gouging the U.S. government as well as allegations of accounting fraud," Dorsey writes.
Dorsey said hints from Musk and Ramaswamy suggest looking at government waste at the Pentagon.
"The Bear Cave also believes this will change under the incoming Trump Administration and that TransDigm should be target #1 for the Department of Government Efficiency."
Musk recently took notice of a tweet from Donald Trump Jr. that highlighted Boeing allegedly overcharging the Air Force, Dorsey added.
Ramaswamy suggested that large-scale audits at government agencies like the Pentagon could yield "significant savings."
In the short report, Dorsey highlights past looks into TransDigm by Congress.

TransDigm's Past History: The short report highlights a 2022 House Oversight Hearing on TransDigm.
"TransDigm manufactures a product called the linear actuating cap, which was used in the Eagle F-15 and C-125 transport aircraft. According to TransDigm, the part only cost $189 to make, but the company charged the Defense Department over $7,000," House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said at the time.
Maloney used a graphic to illustrate the markups in aircraft parts for the Department of Defense by TransDigm, the short report added.
The short report also highlighted a 2019 hearing about TransDigm which saw Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) accuse the company of acquiring other suppliers so it can raise prices for existing customers.
"You purchased a company that made a part for $5,500, solenoid, and then after you bought it the price went up to $11,790. The part only cost $3,000. So what is the additional value when you're purchasing this and raising the price?" Khanna previously asked.
While past congressional hearings didn't find TransDigm broke the law, past concerns over price gouging could put the company on the radar of Musk and Ramaswamy as the short report said.
The defense market makes up around 40% of TransDigm's revenue, with the Department of Defense a portion of that total, the report said.
TDG Price Action: TransDigm Group stock is down 3.09% to $1,253.06 Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $949.99 to $1,451.32. TransDigm stock is up 30% year-to-date in 2024.
