Textron stock holds steady as Bernstein reiterates Market Perform rating

Investing.com - Bernstein SocGen Group has reiterated its Market Perform rating on Textron (NYSE:TXT) with a price target of $90.00 following the company’s third-quarter earnings report. Currently trading at $81.22, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is undervalued, with additional upside potential beyond analyst targets.

Textron reported diluted earnings per share of $1.31 on October 23, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.25, while revenue came in at $3.58 billion, below the expected $3.70 billion. The company maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 1.84 and operates with moderate debt levels.

The aviation segment, which remains the key focus for investors, delivered 42 jets versus an anticipated 47, though management reaffirmed full-year guidance and highlighted solid demand for new products as a driver for the Aviation order book.

Bell performed better than expected with revenue exceeding consensus, supported by the MV-75 program which also secured additional funding to increase the backlog, while the Industrial segment posted modest growth after adjusting for a divestiture.

Bernstein has slightly lowered its 2025 revenue estimate for Textron to $14.7 billion from $14.8 billion due to lower aerospace revenues, but raised its adjusted EPS forecast to $6.10 from $6.08, reflecting improved margins at the Bell and Systems divisions.
