Triumph Group Inc (NYSE: TGI ) Triumph Group Inc. is an aerospace and defense contractor. But the company is also a manufacturer and a designer, catering to the public sector as much as the private, and making just as much hardware for new aircraft as it does to maintain older planes. But the most compelling aspect of this company is found on its income statement. In each of the past 11 quarters, Triumph Group has topped earnings estimates. Last quarter, for instance, the company beat estimates of $1.33 by earning $1.57 per share. In the quarter before that, Triumph earned $1.48, leaving expectations of $1.28 per share in the dust. Looking ahead, analysts expect the contractor to grow the bottom line by 22% per year. Given the strong growth trend already in place though, in addition to a very palatable trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 10.9, this boring little contractor is simply too underestimated. 2.
