The strong financial position of Triumph Group enables it to reward its shareholders through dividend payments. In fiscal 2013, the company paid dividends worth $8 million to its shareholders.
Triumph Group currently retains a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Meanwhile Astronics Corp. (ATRO) with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) is worth considering.
