Teledyne Technologies (TDY) Launches New Defense Tools, Is A 19% Discount Still There?

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Teledyne Technologies (TDY) is back in focus after its FLIR unit rolled out Prism A-ISR software for airborne intelligence systems and introduced the Ranger R10-3DX counter-drone radar for military and security users.

The Prism A-ISR and Ranger R10-3DX launches arrive after a steady run, with Teledyne Technologies posting a 17.82% year to date share price return and a 49.06% three year total shareholder return. However, the 7 day share price return has slipped 1.77%, suggesting some short term enthusiasm has cooled while the longer record still points to investors having been rewarded for staying in the story.

After a long stretch of gains, a softer recent patch leaves Teledyne Technologies looking finely balanced between further upside and a lot of good news already reflected. Is the current valuation still giving you enough runway?

Most Popular Narrative: 19% Undervalued

Teledyne Technologies last closed at $611.21 while the most followed narrative pegs fair value at about $758. This suggests investors are weighing a long pipeline of defense, space, and imaging contracts against what is already priced in.

Expanding defense programs in unmanned systems, missiles and munitions, and space sensing are adding multi year revenue visibility, with expected 2026 defense revenue of about US$2.15b, unmanned systems of about US$575 million, missiles and munitions components rising toward about US$240 million, and space related revenue of about US$450 million. Together, these factors support sustained growth in sales and earnings.

Result: Fair Value of $758.08 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, supply chain strains or weaker margin execution around defense programs and the Varex Imaging deal could quickly challenge the upbeat narrative surrounding Teledyne Technologies.
