The Quality factor evaluates the persistence and magnitude of realized cash flows. Companies with scores >70 exhibit superior pricing power and structural financial resilience through diverse economic regimes.
Our uncertainty rating tracks the predictability of future cash flows and potential for permanent capital loss. Moderate visibility with standard industry cyclicality.
Our model assigns TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 58.4/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #845 of 7,333 stocks, TDY presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 52/100, TDY shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 8.4% (sector avg: -2.5%), gross margins of 42.8% (sector avg: 42.5%), net margins of 14.9% (sector avg: -0.2%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
TDY's value score of 60/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 35.59x, an EV/EBITDA of 23.86x, a P/B ratio of 2.99x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC's investment score of 36/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 12.0% vs. a sector average of 5.9% and a return on assets of 5.8% (sector: -0.1%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
TDY demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 65/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 12.0% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.80 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC earns an excellent stability score of 89/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.80 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 24.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
The short interest score of 53/100 for TDY suggests somewhat elevated bearish positioning by institutional traders. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 24.00x). With a $27.1B market cap (large-cap), TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC may experience above-average volatility. Investors should consider whether the short thesis has merit or if it creates a potential short-squeeze opportunity.
TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC is a large-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #845 of 7,333 overall (88th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 8.4% exceeding the -2.5% sector median and operating margins of 18.3% above the 1.3% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While TDY currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

AUDIT DATA AS OF SEP 28, 2025 (Q2 FY2025)
We rate TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC (TDY) as a Hold with a composite score of 58.4/100 at a current price of $683.22. The stock presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to warrant new accumulation nor weak enough to justify selling for existing holders. Our factors are split, and the overall profile suggests patience is warranted.
The rating is primarily driven by strength in stability (89th percentile) and momentum (65th percentile), which together account for the majority of the composite score. Offsetting weakness in investment (36th percentile) and quality (52th percentile) tempers our overall conviction. We assign a Wide Moat rating (71/100), Low uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation.
Key items to watch: quarterly earnings execution and sector-level competitive dynamics. Any material change in these dynamics could warrant a reassessment of our rating. The moat trend is stable, which suggests the competitive landscape is stable for now.
TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC holds a top-quartile position (#0 of 50) within the Manufacturing sector, based on our composite quantitative scoring across quality, value, momentum, and stability factors. The composite score of 58.4/100 places it at rank #845 in our full 7,333-stock universe. With a $27.1B market capitalization, TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC operates at meaningful scale within the Manufacturing sector, providing competitive advantages in distribution, procurement, and customer reach.
The outlook is moderately positive, with revenue expanding at 12% and favorable momentum (65th percentile) reflecting constructive market sentiment. The business shows steady execution, though the growth rate is below the levels typically associated with high-conviction growth stories. Momentum confirmation provides support for the current price level.
The margin cascade tells an important story: gross margins of 43% (+0.3pp vs sector) narrow to operating margins of 18% (+17.1pp vs sector) and net margins of 14.9%, yielding a gross-to-net conversion rate of 35%. This efficient conversion suggests well-controlled operating costs and limited margin leakage between the gross and net levels.
At a current price of $683.22, TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC is trading near fair value based on current fundamentals. Our value factor score of 60/100 reflects a composite assessment across multiple valuation metrics including price-to-earnings, price-to-book, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales ratios relative to both sector peers and the broader market. Valuation metrics are mixed, with no strong signal of mispricing in either direction.
The stock currently trades at a P/E of 35.6x (a 60% premium to the sector median of 22.3x), EV/EBITDA of 23.9x (at a premium), P/B of 3.0x, P/S of 5.3x. The above-sector P/E multiple suggests the market is pricing in superior growth or quality, which our analysis finds only partially justified by current fundamentals.
Gross margins of 43% signal strong pricing power and brand/IP advantages — businesses with margins above 40% have historically demonstrated more resilient earnings through economic cycles.
Revenue growth of 12% confirms the business is expanding its addressable market — growth at this level typically supports multiple expansion and attracts institutional capital.
A conservative balance sheet (24% D/E) provides financial flexibility for acquisitions, buybacks, or weathering economic downturns without dilution.
A P/E of 35.6x leaves little room for execution misses — any earnings disappointment could trigger a sharp multiple compression.
We assign a Low uncertainty rating to TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC. The company exhibits strong financial stability with a beta of 0.80, conservative leverage (24% D/E), and a stability factor in the 89th percentile. The predictable nature of the business model and solid financial position reduce the range of potential outcomes, giving us confidence in our fair value estimate.
We identify no major risk factors at this time. The company's stability factor sits at the 89th percentile with quality at the 52th percentile, both of which support our low-risk assessment. The absence of material leverage, profitability, or volatility concerns reduces the likelihood of a permanent capital loss scenario.
Key risk mitigants include: healthy gross margins of 43% provide a buffer against cost pressures; conservative leverage (24% D/E) limits balance sheet risk; above-average stability (89th percentile) suggests predictable business dynamics. These factors partially offset the identified risks and provide downside protection in adverse scenarios. On balance, the risk-reward profile is favorable for long-term investors.
We rate TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC's capital allocation as Standard. Management has shown adequate — though not exceptional — stewardship of shareholder capital. Returns on equity stand at 8.4%, and the balance sheet is managed within acceptable parameters (D/E: 24%). Exemplary allocators typically sustain ROE above 20% and D/E below 50%; TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC falls short on at least one dimension.
There is room for improvement in optimizing the capital structure or enhancing shareholder returns. Absent a dividend, the overall capital allocation framework would benefit from either higher reinvestment returns, improved balance sheet efficiency, or increased shareholder distributions. We will monitor for signs of strategic improvement that could warrant an upgrade.
In summary, TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC receives a Hold rating with a composite score of 58.4/100 (rank #845 of 7,333). Our quantitative framework assigns a Wide Moat (71/100, trend: stable), Low uncertainty, and Standard capital allocation. The average factor score across quality, value, momentum, stability, and investment is 60/100.
Our analysis supports a neutral stance on TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC. While the quantitative profile is not weak enough to warrant selling, it lacks the multi-factor strength required for a buy recommendation. Existing holders should maintain positions and monitor for catalysts — either fundamental improvement or valuation compression — that would shift the risk-reward balance.

We assign TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC a Wide Moat rating with a composite moat score of 71/100. The ROIC-WACC spread of +39.7% is the primary signal of economic value creation. This places the company among an elite group of businesses with deep, durable competitive advantages that we expect to persist for 20 years or more. The score reflects strength across multiple competitive dimensions, with economic value creation (19.3/20) as the leading contributor.
The strongest moat sources are economic value creation (19.3/20) and financial resilience (15.7/20). ROIC 48.7% vs WACC 9.1% (spread +39.7%). Interest coverage 91.3x, Net debt/EBITDA 1.3x. These pillars form the core of TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC's competitive identity and are the primary drivers of excess returns in our framework.
Areas of relative weakness include reinvestment efficiency (7.8/20) and growth durability (13.3/20). Capital turnover 3.14x, R&D intensity 5.2%. Improvement in these areas could meaningfully widen the moat over time, while deterioration would be an early warning of competitive erosion.
Our moat trend assessment is Stable. Multi-year ROIC and operating margin trajectories show neither meaningful improvement nor deterioration, suggesting the competitive position is steady. We expect TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC's moat profile to remain largely unchanged absent a material shift in return on capital or industry dynamics.
Key profit drivers include gross margins of 43% providing a solid profitability foundation, operating margins of 18% reflecting effective cost management, moderate revenue growth of 12%. The margin cascade from 43% gross to 18% operating to 14.9% net reveals the company's cost structure and reinvestment intensity. Our analysis indicates that profit quality is adequate though not exceptional, with the quality factor at the 52th percentile.
The margin profile shows gross margins of 43%, operating margins of 18%, net margins of 14.9%. Return metrics include ROE of 8.4% and ROA of 5.8%. Relative to the Manufacturing sector, gross margins are 0.3 percentage points above the sector median of 43%, and ROE of 8.4% compares to a sector median of -2.5%.
The balance sheet reflects a conservatively managed balance sheet with D/E of 24%, revenue growth of 12%. The sector median D/E is 0%, putting TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC at higher leverage than the typical peer. The combination of low leverage and healthy profitability provides significant financial resilience and strategic optionality.

(TDY) has released its 2025 Form 10-K report, detailing robust financial performance, including a 7.9% increase in net sales to $6,115.4 million and a 9.2% rise in net income.
