TransMedics (TMDX) flight tracker: 6 ways investors use it
Before Singularity Research covered the AI build-out, it built a tracker for TransMedics (TMDX), which flies donor organs on its own aircraft. Many readers still use it every day. Here's how.
1Count flights in near real time
Flights by TransMedics' fleet are logged from public flight data and updated every 30 minutes.
2Compare with last year
Seven-day and quarter-to-date counts versus the same period a year earlier.
3Estimate the quarter
A run-rate for the current quarter and an implied revenue figure.
4Watch the fleet
Which aircraft are active and how often each flies.
5See where the organs go
The busiest airports and routes.
6Spot the trend early
Daily and monthly charts show acceleration or slowdown before the company reports.
Why flights are a useful signal
Most donor organs moved by TransMedics travel on its own aircraft, so the number of flights is a close, real-time proxy for case volumes. Volumes drive revenue, so changes in the flight count often show up before the company reports.
Caveats
Not every case involves a flight, and some flights are repositioning or maintenance. The tracker is best used for trends and year-on-year comparisons rather than exact case counts.
