What Happened?

Shares of aerospace and defense company TransDigm (NYSE:TDG) fell 6.2% in the afternoon session after the company reported weak first quarter 2025 results which included a small revenue miss, although it narrowly topped analysts' EBITDA and adjusted EPS expectations due to better profitability.

Looking ahead, the company reaffirmed previously-provided revenue and adjusted EPS guidance. Overall, this was a fine quarter but may not feature enough clear positives for the market.

The shares closed the day at $1,391, down 5.6% from previous close.
