Textron Beats Q2 Estimates on Higher Aircraft Pricing, Revenue Hits $3.83B
TXT sits 21% above its 52-week low of $75.8 on elevated volume (1.9× avg).
Summary
Textron delivered a clean Q2 beat: revenue of $3.83B topped the $3.80B consensus, and adjusted EPS of $1.62 exceeded the $1.55 estimate. Higher aircraft pricing and a 6% revenue jump in the Bell helicopter segment drove the outperformance, while the larger Aviation unit eked out a 1% gain as pricing offset lower jet deliveries. The company reiterated its full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $6.40–$6.60, bracketing the $6.52 consensus. This follows yesterday's $300M Bell contract win and the April announcement of the Industrial segment separation, reinforcing the pure-play aerospace narrative. The beat and steady outlook suggest the pricing environment remains favorable, though Aviation volume bears watching.
