Significance 2/10

Director Small buys 1 share of TDG at $1,285.00; post-transaction holdings 366,142 shares, minimal position impact.

Director Robert J Small purchased 1 share of TransDigm Group at $1,285.00 on 2026-02-25, representing a negligible +0.0% change to his 366,142-share holdings. The single-share purchase has minimal informational content given its trivial size relative to the director's existing position. While TransDigm shows strong fundamentals (annual revenue growth of +11.2%, net income of $445,000,000.00), and the stock currently trades at $1302.79 after declining -19.6% from its 52-week high, a 1-share acquisition provides no meaningful signal about insider conviction or market outlook. This transaction appears routine in nature and does not constitute a material position change.

$6,063,879
Significance 5/10

Director Small sells 4,700 shares (45.5% of holdings) for $6.1M at $1,290.19 avg

Robert J Small, Director at TransDigm Group, executed 3 separate sales on 2025-12-10 totaling 4,700 shares for $6,063,879.02, reducing his holdings from 10,325 to 5,625 shares. The blended average price of $1,290.19 sits below the current price of $1317.49, meaning the transaction has modestly underperformed the immediate market. Notably, across Small's prior TDG trades at this same ticker, none of his 3 prior measurable sells were well-timed (all posted positive 90-day returns, indicating the stock rose after he sold), and his cross-ticker track record shows only an 11.11% well-timed sell rate over 20 prior open-market sales. The 45.5% reduction in holdings is material, though the timing pattern and lack of demonstrated sell-timing skill at this ticker do not themselves indicate forward-looking investor concern.

Significance 7/10

Director Robert J Small sells 90,953 shares of TDG for $121,487,741.16 at $1,335.72, reducing stake by 57.2%

Director Robert J Small executed 2 separate sales totaling 90,953 shares for $121,487,741.16 on 2025-12-09, reducing his holdings from 159.1K to 68.1K shares (a 57.2% reduction in his position). The sales occurred at $1,335.72 per share, a price 1.3% above the current market price of $1,318.02. TransDigm trades at a P/E of 32.38 with strong fundamentals (annual revenue growth of +11.2%, net income of $492.0M on $2.2B quarterly revenue), suggesting the company is not in distress. Across Small's cross-ticker track record of 20 prior open-market sells, the 90-day well-timed rate stands at 33.33%, while his 5 prior sales at TDG remain too recently executed (within 90 days) to yield measurable outcome data, limiting ability to assess whether this pattern reflects insider conviction or routine portfolio activity.

Significance 6/10

Director Small sells 5,000 TDG shares (47.3% reduction) in 14 transactions totaling $6,384,923.44

SMALL ROBERT J, a Director of TransDigm Group, executed 14 separate sales totaling 5,000 shares ($6,384,923.44) on 2025-09-12 across a blended average price of $1,276.98, reducing his position from 10,581 to 5,581 shares. The current stock price of $1,281.73 is -20.9% from the 52-week high of $1,620.83 and has declined -7.6% over the past 30 days and -9.4% over 90 days. Across his prior TDG sales (5 recent trades), only 2 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with a mixed recent pattern: the June 2025 sales showed a +8.0% 30-day return but -9.2% at 90 days, while March 2025 sales ranged from -2.4% to -1.7% at 30 days before recovering to +6.7% to +7.4% at 90 days. This large reduction of holding concentration during a period of stock weakness and against a backdrop of mixed success timing at this ticker warrants monitoring for the underlying reason behind the substantial position exit.

Significance 6/10

Director Robert J Small sells 45,700 shares of TDG for $65,122,957.00 on 2025-06-10 at $1,425.01

Robert J Small, a Director at TransDigm, executed two separate sales totaling 45,700 shares for $65,122,957.00 at a blended average price of $1,425.01. This represents a 9.3% reduction in his post-transaction holdings to 444,132 shares. The sale occurred at a price within 2.5% of the 52-week high of $1,472.62, near an inflection point in recent momentum. Notably, Small's prior 5 trades at TDG—all sales on 2025-03-14—posted 90-day returns ranging from +6.7% to +7.4%, meaning the stock subsequently rose and he did not benefit from those gains. His cross-ticker track record shows 0 out of 20 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with an average 90-day return of +8.4% after his sales, indicating a consistent pattern of selling before rallies rather than declines.

$13,450,938
Significance 4/10

Director Robert J Small sold 10,034 shares of TDG for $13.5M (blended avg $1,340.54) across 8 transactions on 2025-03-13/14.

Director Small executed 8 separate sales totaling 10,034 shares for $13,450,937.97 across March 13–14, 2025, at prices ranging from $1,335.22 to $1,345.24. The transaction reduced his holdings by 2.0% to 484,632 shares post-sale. This represents a routine portfolio action by an established seller—Small's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sales. The current stock price of $1,358.94 is 5.8% below the 52-week high of $1,442.53, and the 90-day change (+6.6%) shows recent upward momentum. Without scheduled trading plan disclosure in the filing, the multi-day execution pattern and steady transaction sequence are consistent with discretionary liquidation rather than programmatic activity. The transaction occurred against TransDigm's strong fundamentals: $2.0B quarterly revenue (+20.6% annual growth) and $493.0M net income, though the elevated P/E of 41.76 reflects market expectations already priced into the stock.

$80,605,605
Significance 6/10

Director Robert J Small sold 60,000 shares at TDG for $80.6M over two days (Mar 6–7)

Director Small executed 22 separate sales totaling 60,000 shares for $80,605,604.80 across March 6–7, reducing his holdings from 571,401 shares to 511,401 shares (-10.5%). The sales were conducted at prices ranging from $1,336.99 to $1,352.95, at a blended average of $1,343.43, near the current price of $1,336.05 and well above the 52-week low of $1,151.74. The multi-day, multi-price structure suggests methodical execution rather than a single discretionary decision. With 511.4K shares retained post-sale, the director maintains substantial equity ownership, and fundamentals remain solid: the company reported $2.0B quarterly revenue, $493.0M net income, and 20.6% annual growth. The absence of prior measurable outcomes at this ticker limits inference of timing pattern or conviction signal.

Significance 5/10

Director Small sold 20,000 shares ($26.8M) on 2025-03-10 at avg $1,340.20; post-transaction holdings: 492.9K shares

Robert J. Small, a Director at TransDigm Group, executed 12 separate sales on March 10, 2025, totaling 20,000 shares for $26,803,926.51 across prices ranging from $1,335.62 to $1,349.21 per share. This represents a 3.9% reduction in his holdings (from 512.9K to 492.9K shares), though he retains substantial stake. The sales occurred within the stock's 52-week range and at a blended price of $1,340.20, near the current price of $1,336.05. Small's track record includes 20 prior open-market sells across all tickers, though timing outcomes at TransDigm specifically are not yet measurable (prior trades at this ticker closed just three days prior on 2025-03-07). Given TransDigm's strong fundamentals—$2.0B quarterly revenue, $493.0M net income, and 20.6% annual revenue growth—and the concentrated nature of the sale window, the filing warrants monitoring to determine if this activity aligns with broader director-level capital allocation decisions or market conditions.

Significance 5/10

Director Small sells 3,650 shares across 14 transactions on 2025-02-14 for $4,826,007.88 (~$1,322/share).

Director Robert J. Small executed 14 separate sales totaling 3,650 shares on 2025-02-14, reducing his post-transaction holding to 15,539 shares (-19.0% vs pre-transaction). The blended average price of $1,322.19 is modestly above the current price of $1,299.48 but well below the 52-week high of $1,442.53. Small's cross-ticker track record shows a well-timed sell rate of 87.50% with an average 90-day return of -0.7% after his prior sales, indicating a historical pattern of selling before subsequent declines. At TDG specifically, his 5 prior trades include one 2024-06-12 sale that returned -1.1% over 90 days (well-timed), though recent December 2024 sales show modest positive near-term returns. The current filing occurs on a day the stock has declined 3.0% over 30 days and remains 9.9% below its 52-week peak, adding incremental context to the director's decision to liquidate nearly one-fifth of his holdings.

Significance 6/10

Director Small sells 38,053 shares (6.3% of holdings) for $47.5M at blended avg $1,248.78 on 12/12/24

Director Robert J. Small executed 4 separate sales totaling 38,053 shares for $47,519,854.79 on 2024-12-12, reducing his stake from 605,376 to 567,323 shares. The blended average transaction price of $1,248.78 is notably below the current price of $1,280.04, meaning the stock has appreciated since the sale. Small's prior sales at TDG show consistent near-term weakness: 4 of 5 prior sells on 2024-06-12 produced negative 90-day returns (-5.0%, -6.0%, -5.6%, -5.3%, -6.3%), suggesting his selling pattern has historically preceded declines. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 90.00% across 20 prior sells, indicating a sustained pattern of selling near peaks. TransDigm's valuation context remains elevated at a P/E of 34.65 with annual revenue growth of +20.6%, but the timing pattern across both same-ticker and cross-ticker history warrants attention.
