On March 21, 2017 Congressman Ro Khanna, a member of the House Committee on Armed Services, announced that the previous day he requested the Acting Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense to investigate TransDigm's business practices.  His announcement stated, "[r]ecent news reports indicate that TransDigm may be operating as a 'hidden monopolist'[.]"

Congressman Khanna wrote, "[F]ederal regulations protect the taxpayer against sole source contractors like TransDigm []" and "TransDigm appears to use a range of methods to evade these protections."

On this news, TransDigm's share price fell over $13 to close at $224.79 that day.

"TransDigm's transparency when dealing with the Federal government and with its investors is certainly material to both constituents.  We're focused on whether the Federal investigation will commence and on prior TransDigm disclosures to its investors," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
