Teledyne: Attractive Defense Backlog But Offset By Tepid Organic Guidance; Initiating At Hold

Teledyne is rated Hold, as its 27.1x FY26 P/E and 3.3x PEG already price in its serial acquisition compounding strategy. Unmanned Systems and A&D segments are key growth drivers, with Unmanned Systems targeting $550M revenue and 10% organic growth in 2026. Organic growth guidance remains tepid at 3.5–4.0%, with incremental Unmanned Systems revenue having limited impact on the $6.4B revenue base.
