Textron Q2 Revenue Meets Estimates, Initiates Industrial Segment Sale
TXT sits 25% above its 52-week low of $75.8 on elevated volume (1.9× avg).
Summary
Textron reported Q2 revenue of $3.80 billion, meeting analyst expectations, with adjusted EPS rising to $1.62 from $1.55 a year ago. Sales growth was driven by higher aircraft pricing and military demand. The company also initiated the sale process for its Industrial segment, advancing the pure-play Aerospace & Defense strategy announced in April. Growth was further supported by military programs, though jet volume and manufacturing inefficiencies weighed on Aviation. Full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $6.40-$6.60 was reiterated, but a potential $0.20-$0.30 headwind from lack of MV-75 Cheyenne funding adds uncertainty. The results and segment sale progress provide a clearer path toward the planned separation.
