Recent press releases and 8-K filings for TDY.
- Unmanned systems revenue of $500 million, expected to grow ~10% in 2026, driven by Black Hornet drones, the Rogue 1 loitering munition production contract, component sales to UAV/SUV/USV builders, and subsea/glider vehicle orders.
- Space segment generates roughly $400 million from infrared and visible imaging devices, led by SDA Tranche programs; Tranche 3 alone is worth >$100 million with incremental deliveries beginning in 2026.
- Short-cycle businesses (industrial vision, environmental, test & measurement, healthcare) have stabilized and are guided to low single-digit revenue growth in 2026 based on recent order flow.
- Executed nearly $1 billion of strategic transactions (Qioptiq acquisition plus bolt-ons) and ran opportunistic share buybacks in Q4, with a preference for value-accretive M&A but readiness to repurchase at attractive valuations (15–16× earnings).
- Teledyne’s $500 million unmanned systems business is projected to grow 10% in 2026, comprising UAV platforms ($200 M), components for others’ UAS and USVs ($150 M), subsea vehicles ($100 M) and ground robots ($50 M), driven by Black Hornet, SkyRaider and Rogue 1 production (~$30 M increment in 2026) along with strong subsea orders in Europe.
- The $400 million space segment is now defense-weighted, focused on infrared and visible imaging devices for missile tracking and earth observation, including SDA Tranche 3 Tracking Layer awards worth over $100 million in total.
- Corporate exposure includes 30% defense (22% U.S. DoD, 8% RoW) alongside an energy business generating $250–280 million in subsea connectors, and recovering short-cycle industrial, environmental and test-measurement units targeting low single-digit growth in 2026.
- Capital allocation remains M&A-first, with ~$1 billion deployed on Qioptiq and bolt-ons over the past 18 months, supplemented by opportunistic share buybacks when the stock trades at 15–16× earnings.
- A&D revenue mix: ~30% of sales from defense (22% US DoD, 8% ex-US), with 5% in commercial aviation and 6–7% in space programs.
- Unmanned systems: $500 M in 2025 sales, guided to ~10% growth in 2026, split into $200 M UAS, $150 M components, $100 M subsea vehicles and $50 M ground robots; key programs include Black Hornet and first-production Rogue 1 loitering munitions (+$30 M DoD funding in 2026).
- Space imaging: $400 M business driven by infrared/visible sensors for missile tracking, earth observation and SDA Tranche 3 awards (>$100 M); NASA space services (~$60 M/year) remain low-margin but stable.
- Short-cycle markets: Industrial & machine vision, environmental monitoring and test & measurement units are returning to modest, low-single-digit growth in 2026; healthcare X-ray sensor sales expected flat.
- M&A approach: Continued methodical bolt-on strategy (e.g., $20 M AD Scientific gas sensors) alongside larger, long-pursued deals like FLIR, emphasizing complementary fit and disciplined valuation.
- Teledyne FLIR Defense secures $17.5 million contract from armasuisse for Black Hornet 4 delivery on Switzerland’s Piranha 8x8 ISR program, integrating with the vehicle’s digital systems.
- The Black Hornet 4 software has been adapted to stream live video and transmit target data, coordinates, and situational awareness directly to vehicle displays and crews.
- The 70 g nano-drone offers a 12 MP day camera and high-resolution thermal imaging, with over 30 min endurance, 3 km range, and operation in winds up to 25 knots and rain.
