Each plane is said to cost $10.63 million.

20 planes x $10.63 million each = $212,600,000
55 planes x $10.63 million each = $584,650,000

For the $355 million contract
$355,000,000 - $212,600,000 = $142,000,000

For the $950 million contract
$950,000,000 - $584,650,000 = $583,700,000

that's $142 or $584 million for other stuff besides the planes.

The other stuff includes

As specified by the Air Force, SNC is being awarded a firm-fixed price delivery order 0001 contract in the amount of $355,126,541 for the Light Air Support (LAS) aircraft and associated support.

How this translates to TADF


According to Yahoo finance, the Aerospace/Defense Products and Services industry has an average P/E of 14.5 and a Net Profit Margin % 6.8

... say TADF landed a $10 million contract. Using the above numbers.

.068 = earnings / 10,000,000 = $680,000 earnings

$680,000 / 6 000 000 000 shares = $0.000113333333/shares earnings

0.000113333333 x 14.5 = $0.0017 per share.

so, according to this, if TADF lands a $10 mil contract, share price should be around .0017.

$40 million = $.0068
$100 million = $.017

This is all based on industry averages. The actual share price may be higher, or lower depending on what the market decides.
