Teledyne Shares Fall 0.64% Amid 157% Volume Surge to $320M, Ranked 324th in Market Activity

Teledyne (TDY) traded with a 0.64% decline on August 15, 2025, despite a 157.07% surge in trading volume to $0.32 billion, ranking it 324th in market activity. Recent earnings data showed the company exceeded Q2 2025 expectations, reporting $5.20 EPS (up $0.15 from estimates) and $1.51 billion in revenue (10.2% YoY growth). Analysts project 9% EPS growth for FY2026 to $23.49 per share, with Q3 earnings expected on October 22. Institutional ownership remains strong, with Vanguard holding the largest stake, while insider selling, including Jane Sherburne’s $813,540 worth of shares, highlights mixed investor sentiment.

Institutional and retail ownership structures indicate 33.42% mutual funds, 25.81% ETFs, and 39.03% public investors. Despite a P/E ratio of 29.89, which is higher than the aerospace sector average, the stock’s forward P/E of 25.17 suggests moderate valuation. Short interest rose 28.43% in August, with 0.9% of shares sold short, signaling cautious positioning. Earnings guidance for Q3 2025 pegged at $5.35–$5.45 per share aligns with a 3.45 PEG ratio, indicating potential overvaluation.

A backtested strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily volume and holding for one day from 2022 to 2025 yielded a 31.52% total return, averaging 0.98% per day. This reflects short-term momentum capture amid market volatility but underscores timing risks inherent in such high-turnover approaches.
