The company also initiated a stock repurchase program in April 2024, authorizing up to $1.25 billion in buybacks.
Overall, while Teledyne experienced growth in net income and certain segments, challenges in sales and operating income in others indicate a need for continued strategic focus and adaptation in a fluctuating market environment.
