About TransDigm

TransDigm (TDG) is a public Aerospace/Defense company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Cleveland, OH.

Equity grants at TransDigm typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).

TransDigm Group Incorporated is an American publicly traded aerospace manufacturing company headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. TransDigm develops and manufactures engineered aerospace components. It was founded in 1993, when four industrial aerospace companies were combined by a private equity firm in a leveraged buyout. TransDigm expanded the range of aerospace components it manufactures through acquisitions over the years. It filed an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange in 2006.

The company buys makers of proprietary aircraft components, parts that are sole-sourced and certified into specific airframes, then prices them for the aftermarket where operators have no alternative supplier. That strategy has produced margins far above peers and repeated scrutiny from Defense Department inspectors general over spare parts pricing. Roughly three quarters of value comes from aftermarket sales rather than original equipment. The Cleveland company runs a decentralized structure with heavy debt by design, and its returns have tracked commercial air traffic recovery closely.

Equity comp at TransDigm

  • RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

TransDigm equity questions

How much TDG stock is too much?
There is no single threshold, but the larger the share of your net worth in one stock, the more a single bad year can set back your plans. The calculator above quantifies the drawdown impact at 30, 50, and 70 percent for your TDG position and weighs selling down (which triggers capital-gains tax now) against hedging (which costs option premium).
Does TransDigm grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at TransDigm typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do TransDigm RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. TransDigm restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
