By

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

Teledyne Technologies (TDY) reported Q1 2026 net sales of $1.56B (+7.6% Y/Y, a 3% beat vs. consensus) and adjusted EPS of $5.80 (+17.2% Y/Y, $0.33 above consensus). Operating margin expanded 100 basis points to 18.9%, with broad-based strength across Aerospace & Defense Electronics (+14.4% Y/Y) and Digital Imaging (+7.9% Y/Y). We believe TDY's positioning in critical defense technologiesparticularly unmanned systems, infrared sensing, and space-based applicationsprovides a durable growth platform as defense budgets remain elevated. Management raised its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $23.85-$24.15 from $23.45-$23.85, reflecting confidence in the defense program trajectory and commercial market stabilization. With net leverage improving to 1.3x and over $1.1B in credit availability, we expect TDY to pursue strategic acquisitions while maintaining capacity for share repurchases. Defense momentum continues with $36M added in defense electronics and the successful integration of the DD-Scientific acquisition.
