Private Equity-Like Shareholder Returns

  • With an approximate 90% proprietary product mix and 80% from sole-source sales, TransDigm benefits from a significant barrier to entry.
  • Approximately 90% of commercial aftermarket revenue is generated from products with less than $2 million in annual sales, resulting in pricing power and discouraging competition.
  • Special dividends add to shareholder return, most recently a $22 per share dividend paid September 12th.
  • Despite the Inspector General investigation, TransDigm meets the Great Lakes Review investment criteria.

Great Lakes Review, a division of Wellington Shields & Co. LLC

Great Lakes Review is located in Cleveland, Ohio, was founded in 1981 and became a division of Wellington Shields & Co. LLC in 2011. Great Lakes Review is a research boutique focused on the fundamentally-oriented investor seeking companies that dominate their respective specialty niche regardless of industry. The objective is to make money for the long-term by gradually accumulating a diversified portfolio from a universe of no more than 30 companies.  Although short-term-oriented accounts will be alerted to trading opportunities, aggressive sell recommendations are triggered only by a deterioration in long-term fundamentals, not by short-term blips or investor fancy. Coverage of those names that lose their earnings momentum or earnings predictability may be dropped and replaced with more vital candidates.
