Teledyne Technologies forecasts unmanned systems growth and low-single digit short-cycle recovery
TDY
Guidance Update
Share Buyback
M&A
  • 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).

TDY
Share Buyback
M&A
  • 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.

Guidance Update
  • 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.

  • 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.
