Teledyne Technologies Incorporated · TDY · FY2026 Q3 · Calendar Q4 2026
Teledyne posts record quarter and raises 2026 guidance
The quarter supports a constructive operating case: record results, strong infrared-detector demand, a $5.3 billion backlog, and higher full-year guidance indicate resilient demand. The case still depends on sustaining digital-imaging growth, converting backlog on schedule, and executing the Varex transaction.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
