Q2 Results Beat Prior Year
Revenue rose 3% to $3.8 billion, with adjusted EPS of $1.62 compared to $1.55 in Q2 2025, driven by growth in all manufacturing segments.

Industrial Segment Sale Initiated
As part of a strategic portfolio reshaping, Textron has begun a process to sell its Industrial segment, which generated $848 million in Q2 revenue.
-
MV-75 Funding Risk to Outlook
Full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $6.40–$6.60 assumes additional MV-75 Cheyenne funding; without it, EPS could be $0.20–$0.30 lower and cash flow $150M–$250M lower.

Analysis · TXT · Manufacturing
A solid quarter saw revenue expand across all manufacturing segments, pushing adjusted EPS to $1.62—ahead of the prior year's $1.55. The decision to launch a sale process for the Industrial segment marks a strategic pivot that could unlock shareholder value. Still, the outlook carries a notable risk: without additional MV-75 Cheyenne funding, adjusted EPS could take a $0.20–$0.30 hit and cash flow could drop by $150M–$250M. Returning $209M to shareholders through buybacks underscores confidence in the company's financial position.
