AI verdict & sentimentAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

Today's AI verdict on what's driving $TDY, plus how loud the X conversation is and which way it's leaning.

AI analysis

TickerTalks’ read on the fundamentals and what’s driving the move.

Proven numbersWinding up for a moveAI verdict · as of 2026-07-16

Trading in a tight range and building pressure — a move looks likely soon, but the direction isn't clear yet.

Diversified defense and imaging with a downgrade and pre-print tightening.

Teledyne is up 22% year-to-date at 67% of its fifty-two-week range as investors digest a July 6 downgrade citing valuation against an intact operating story, ahead of a July 22 second-quarter print that will need to justify the current mid-cycle multiple.

  • The July 6 introduction of the Emerald 67M-based space camera enabled by an SDL licensing agreement reinforces the space-instrumentation story, which has been a quiet secular tailwind alongside the more headline defense and imaging exposure.
  • The July 7 Lockheed Martin buyout of a naval-consolidation target has broader defense-multiple implications, and any Teledyne commentary tying subsystem revenue to broader defense consolidation will move the stock.
  • The upcoming print is the near-term event, with book-to-bill by segment, digital-imaging margin trend and any 2026 guide bracket the items to watch heading into the number.

Watch second-quarter book-to-bill by segment, digital-imaging margins, and 2026 guide bracketing on the July 22 call.

What to watch: Book-to-bill by segment, digital-imaging margins, and 2026 guidance.

On the calendar: Q2 earnings on July 22, 2026.

What it does

Plain-English summary of the business — what they sell and how they make money.

Makes sensing instruments, test equipment, and defense electronics for scientific, industrial, and military applications.

Industry overviewAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

Where Hardware, Equipment & Parts sits in its cycle right now — and what that implies for $TDY.

Hardware, Equipment & Parts · Technology

No material change from last week — structural AI data center buildout is intact but rotation from early YTD winners (SNDK +100%) compresses near-term premiums in the rack-to-server supply layer.

What this means for $TDY

Neutral — Makes sensing instruments, test equipment, and defense electronics for scientific, industrial, and military applications; the AI data center networking and compute hardware buildout does not materially affect this business's near-term earnings.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
30.2How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
6.9%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
19.0%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
3.8%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
4.5Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
8.9%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
38.5%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.2Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
