NXSNF vs TDY: Which Is the Better Buy in 2026?

Same yardstick, side by side (as of October 2026). Valuation lined up like this is most meaningful for two names in the same corner of the market, which these are. Figures are approximate; verify before investing.

The metrics above tell you which is the marginally better business. The bigger risk for most people is not picking the slightly worse stock, it is over-concentrating. NXSNF and TDY share themes, so owning both, or adding either to what you already hold, can quietly push a large share of your portfolio into one bet.

This is the part a generic comparison page cannot answer, because it depends on what you own. Connect your brokerage and Walnut shows your real, combined NXSNF and TDY exposure, flags overlap with your existing positions, and tells you if adding one would tip you past a concentration you are comfortable with, read-only by default, with your login staying at your broker.

NextVision Stabilized Systems designs and sells small, lightweight, gyro-stabilized camera payloads (gimbals) that sit under drones, tethered aerostats, and ground or naval vehicles. Its cameras combine day and thermal imaging with onboard tracking software in units that often weigh well under a kilogram, which matters because every gram on a small drone costs flight time. NextVision mostly sells to drone and system makers rather than directly to armies, so its products end up inside other companies' aircraft. The company is based in Israel, listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in 2021, joined the TA-35 index, and its shares in the US trade over the counter as NXSNF, a foreign ordinary-share line priced in dollars that tracks the shekel-denominated Tel Aviv shares.

Both fit overlapping themes, but they are not interchangeable. The useful comparison is which set of drivers and risks you want exposure to.

• NXSNF drivers: Drone volumes as a consumable market; Production capacity and margins.
• TDY drivers: Digital imaging and FLIR; Diversification across resilient niches.

A faster-growing, richer-valued name usually swings harder, so it suits a longer horizon and a higher tolerance for volatility; a steadier, more cash-generative business suits a more conservative or income-minded investor. The honest test is which set of risks you could hold through a drawdown: The biggest risk is that demand is linked to active conflicts and emergency defense budgets. For TDY, teledyne's industrial and instrumentation segments are exposed to manufacturing and capital-spending cycles, so a slowdown in global industrial activity can pressure orders.

Growth-minded investors who believe the theme has years to run tend to accept the richer multiple for more upside; value-minded investors lean toward the cheaper forward earnings and steadier profile. Pick NXSNF if you believe its drivers more; TDY if you believe its. Many investors hold both, but since they share themes, that is a concentrated bet, not diversification. Decide deliberately and check overlap. For the full detail, see the NXSNF and TDY guides.

NXSNF. Trailing figures combine reported 2025 results (~$168 million revenue, ~$104 million net income) with first-half 2026 results (~$156 million revenue, ~$92 million net income). The market value has swung widely, from near NIS 36 billion in March 2026 to roughly NIS 20 billion in August, so multiples move quickly with the share price and the shekel. On the 2026 revenue target the stock trades at roughly 17x to 20x sales, a premium that assumes much of the current growth and profitability holds beyond the present wave of drone procurement.

TDY. As of October 16, 2026, Teledyne trades at about 23 times forward earnings and 19 times EV/EBITDA, a premium to average industrials that reflects its high-barrier niches, steady roughly 20% operating margins and acquisition record. Consensus expects 2026 EPS near $24.74 and 2027 near $26.79. Analysts rate it buy on average with a mean target near $758 across 12 firms; the October 21 report is the next checkpoint.

Headline figures (approximate, October 2026): NXSNF shows revenue (ttm) ~$250M, net income (ttm) ~$170M, 2026 revenue target ~$355M, market cap ~$6B to $7B; TDY shows revenue (ttm) ~$6.37 billion, up ~9.8% YoY in the latest quarter, margins (ttm) ~43% gross, ~20% operating, ~15% net, net income (ttm) ~$975 million; trailing EPS ~$20.67, latest quarter (ended jun 28, 2026) Revenue ~$1.66 billion; EPS $6.28 vs ~$5.79 expected.

NXSNF and TDY are related but distinct: same themes, different businesses and risks. Neither wins in the abstract; the right pick is whichever thesis you actually believe, sized so you are not over-concentrated in one theme.
