    THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE

    Consolidators Keep Buying While the Broad Set Drifts Lower

    This page summarizes the two-week period across the 8 covered names in one page.

    Five of the eight names we track fell this period, with a median move of -1.6% against a +0.8% S&P 500 return, so the group underperformed the broader market. Moog Inc. (MOG-B) led at +8.6% while TAT Technologies Ltd. (TATT) lagged at -7.7%, and TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG) added two content records to the M&A ledger. We read this as a period where trading direction and deal-making diverged — so watch the content transactions, not the price tape, for the real signal.

    PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS

    A Discount-Tier Name Gives Ground While a Premium-Tier Name Climbs

    This page details the individual stock moves that drove the two-week period, comparing a discount-tier laggard against a premium-tier leader.

    Moog Inc. (MOG-B) climbed +8.6% this period while TAT Technologies Ltd. (TATT) gave back -7.7%, framing the spread between the premium and discount tiers. The sector median was -1.6%, well below the +0.8% return posted by the S&P 500 over the same window. We attribute moves only where a filing or headline is recorded in the window, so the size of these swings is the fact — the driver read is our calibrated view. That gap is the starting point for any relative-value conversation this period.

(TATT) -7.7% Shares moved following the Sep 14 announcement of a partnership to advance thermal management for a hydrogen-electric business aircraft programme; the steepest single day was Sep 28 at -5.1%. Pre-certification content wins are real, but they pay on a type certificate timetable, not this year's mix. COMPANY-SPECIFIC Moog Inc. (MOG-B) +8.6% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. Its +8.6% return sits well above the -1.6% median across the covered set. A Premium-tier name can carry the set higher even when breadth across the group is negative. UNEXPLAINED

    MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS

    Closings, Footprint Moves and Autonomy Milestones Fill the Window

    This page lists the two-week period's highest-impact news items, including closings, footprint moves and autonomy milestones.

    The window's news flow centers on execution milestones rather than pure market moves — closings, footprint changes and autonomy progress all surfaced in the same two weeks. Joby Aviation, Inc. (JOBY) reported a fully autonomous flight across the United States, and TAT Technologies Ltd. (TATT) announced thermal management work tied to a hydrogen-electric business aircraft programme. Each item here links back to its underlying filing or article, so the record is verifiable, not just asserted. Together these items reinforce that platform-content and next-generation propulsion are the two threads driving the sector narrative.

It shows continued appetite for proprietary content rather than for standalone factory capacity. Owners of qualified, sole-source content remain the most sought-after sellers in the sector. Sep 24 · NEWS · Accesswire Horizon Aircraft sets October 9 for its first quarter results and a business update For a pre-certification platform developer, the results call is where funding runway and programme progress get tested together. Calendar discipline is part of how development-stage names hold access to capital partners. Sep 14 · NEWS · PRNewsWire TAT Technologies partners to advance thermal management for a hydrogen-electric business aircraft programme Thermal management is exactly the shipset content incumbents are trying to carry into electrified propulsion. Winning it early positions a supplier for the installed base that follows. Content migration to electrified platforms is being contested now, years before the revenue arrives. Sep 26 · NEWS · 24/7 Wall Street Joby Aviation draws published long-term valuation commentary from an outside outlet The commentary cited a path back above $10 and bulls looking to $12. NeuraCap read: where earnings are not yet meaningful, the debate runs on EV / Revenue and milestone belief. Pre-revenue platform valuations move with programme evidence more than with quarterly numbers. Sep 21 · NEWS · GlobeNewsWire Woodward plans to move Santa Clarita aerospace controls production to Spartanburg, South Carolina Consolidating qualified production is a cost-structure decision with a real execution risk attached: the qualification transfer has to travel with the work. Footprint moves on approved processes are judged on transfer discipline, not on square footage saved. Sep 18 · NEWS · Business Wire Joby Aviation completes the first fully autonomous flight across the United States A programme milestone of this kind is how pre-revenue platform developers evidence progress toward certification, which is the gate on every revenue stream behind it. Milestones, not earnings, are the currency at the development-stage end of the sector.

    M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY

    TransDigm Closes One Acquisition and Agrees Another Block of Platform Content

    This page covers TransDigm Group Incorporated's two-week M&A activity: one closed acquisition and one newly announced purchase.

    TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG) closed one acquisition and separately agreed to acquire a portfolio of commercial rotorcraft, land systems and business jet products, both within the same two-week window. Neither transaction discloses a price, so we cannot size these against the precedent multiple set on this page alone. Even so, two content records from the same strategic buyer in one period is a concentration worth noting for anyone tracking platform-content consolidation. We read this as continued appetite for proprietary content positions, consistent with the standing sector thesis.

NeuraCap read: the buyer's logic here is content and aftermarket entitlement rather than incremental factory capacity. HOW THE TARGET WAS VALUED No enterprise value or multiple was disclosed. The trailing record of 40 precedent transactions carries a median of 14.7x EV / EBITDA, against a standing CY2027E sector median of 15.0x.

    WHAT IT MEANS

    What This Two-Week Period Changes for You

    This page translates the two-week period into implications for owners and operators, acquirers, and advisors.

    For owners and operators, the KPIs behind this period's moves are the familiar ones — sole-source content share, the OE-to-aftermarket split, and spares provisioning behind the installed base. For acquirers, the two new TransDigm records matter less for their size, which is undisclosed, and more for confirming where strategic buyers are willing to add content. For advisors, we'd lead conversations with the TransDigm records to gauge strategic appetite, then bring in the electrified-propulsion and autonomy items for the migration debate. None of this is a recommendation — it is our reading of what the recorded evidence changes for each audience.

    Sources, Methodology and Important Notice

    This page explains the sources and methodology behind the update and states the report's important notice.

    Every figure in this update links back to the filing, press release or established outlet it was taken from, and we hold to a fixed source-reliability order with no video or social platforms admitted. This transparency is what lets the driver reads on earlier pages stand as calibrated judgment rather than unsupported claims. We close the deck here so any figure you want to check is one click from its record, so what you take into your next conversation is defensible on first challenge.

    SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Aircraft Systems and Components Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. 1 name below the floor was excluded from movers and statistics for this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260929T051636Z_352_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here. Linked sources this two-week period: prnewswire.com · accessnewswire.com · 247wallst.com · globenewswire.com · businesswire.com

Sources and methodology

This update covers Aircraft Systems and Components over the 14-day window September 14–28, 2026; market data runs through September 28, 2026. The universe is the 8 listed companies whose core business is Aircraft Systems and Components under NeuraCap's industry classification, subject to a $100M market-capitalisation floor so that very small, loosely related names cannot dominate the movers and statistics. Companies covered: Astronics Corporation (ATRO), Eve Holding, Inc. (EVEX), New Horizon Aircraft Ltd (HOVR), Joby Aviation, Inc. (JOBY), Moog Inc. (MOG-B), TAT Technologies Ltd. (TATT), TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG), Woodward, Inc. (WWD). 1 name below the floor was excluded from the statistics: EVTL.

Window and company universe

This update covers Aircraft Systems and Components over the 14-day window September 14–28, 2026; market data runs through September 28, 2026. The universe is the 8 listed companies whose core business is Aircraft Systems and Components under NeuraCap's industry classification, subject to a $100M market-capitalisation floor so that very small, loosely related names cannot dominate the movers and statistics. Companies covered: Astronics Corporation (ATRO), Eve Holding, Inc. (EVEX), New Horizon Aircraft Ltd (HOVR), Joby Aviation, Inc. (JOBY), Moog Inc. (MOG-B), TAT Technologies Ltd. (TATT), TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG), Woodward, Inc. (WWD). 1 name below the floor was excluded from the statistics: EVTL.

How the moves and statistics are computed

Each company's period move is the change in closing price from the last close before the window to the last close inside it (close-to-close). The sector median is the median of those moves across the covered names; the index return is computed the same way for the S&P 500 over the same dates. The largest single-day move inside the window is shown for each mover. Movers are the largest gainers and losers by period move; the attribution cards prefer movers whose in-window record explains the move. Movers carry the valuation tier assigned in the standing sector study (the latest NeuraCap sector outlook) where that study rated them.

Events, news and how a move is attributed

Company events are the 8-K filings made inside the window; news items are publisher-sourced headlines for the window, admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron's and peers). Video and social platforms are never used. A move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window and only in calibrated language; where nothing in the record explains a move, the update says so rather than speculating. Every event links to its source.

Transactions in the window and the trailing record

Transactions are taken from SEC filings by announcement date; 1 was announced inside the window. The trailing record of 40 recorded transactions provides the reference multiples (EV over last-twelve-month revenue or EBITDA at announcement, as disclosed). A value whose own citation describes something other than the price paid is not shown as the deal value; transactions where the acquirer and the target are the same entity are treated as reorganisations and excluded.

Sources

Prices and index levels are market data through September 28, 2026; filings are the companies' SEC filings on EDGAR; press releases are the companies' own; other news items are from the established outlets named on each card; Treasury yields are published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Every figure and every event in the update links to its record.

Interpretation and important notice

'Why it matters', 'why the deal happened' and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, labelled as such. The update is informational: it is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security and not an offer of any kind.

This report is published for information only. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, an offer or solicitation, an appraisal or a fairness opinion, and no fiduciary relationship is created by reading it. Multiples that fail NeuraCap’s plausibility gates are excluded and never plotted. See the full methodology and the disclaimer.
