Textron Inc. (ISIN US8832031012) was last at USD 77.27 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, at 3:59 p.m. ET, up USD 0.10, or 0.13 percent, from the prior close. The next defined checkpoint is October 29, 2026, when Textron plans to publish its third quarter results, according to a September 29, 2026 release from Business Wire.

October 29 sets the next test

The scheduled report matters because Textron enters the quarter with full-year adjusted EPS guidance of USD 6.40-6.60. The company also reiterated manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions of USD 700-800 million for fiscal year 2026, according to the Q2 call transcript published by Fortune.

That guidance is tied to additional fiscal 2026 funding for the MV-75 Cheyenne program. Textron said adjusted EPS could be reduced by USD 0.20-0.30 and cash flow by USD 150-250 million if the funding does not arrive, making program execution a measurable counter-factor for the October report.

Q2 growth reached the bottom line

Textron reported USD 3.83 billion of second quarter revenue, up 3 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Adjusted EPS increased to USD 1.62 from USD 1.55, while segment profit was USD 353 million, unchanged from the prior-year quarter, according to Fortune.

The segment mix explains the uneven operating picture. Textron Aviation generated USD 1.5 billion of revenue, up 1 percent, with an USD 8 billion backlog, while Bell revenue rose 6 percent to USD 1.1 billion and Textron Systems revenue increased 7 percent to USD 347 million, per Fortune.

Consensus remains above the quote

A consensus of 16 analysts carries a Buy rating and an average 12-month target of USD 101.47, with a low of USD 86 and a high of USD 115, according to Stock Analysis. The average target is USD 24.20 above the October 2 last price, a 31.3 percent difference based on the published figures.

Recent analyst data also shows a more cautious single-house view: UBS maintained a Hold rating while cutting its target from USD 95 to USD 86 on September 29, 2026, the same source reported. The contrast puts the October earnings release at the center of the valuation debate.

Textron stock stays below its yearly high

Textron stock was last at USD 77.27 on October 2, 2026, with a session range of USD 76.62-77.80 and a 52-week range of USD 75.51-101.57. Market capitalization was USD 13.3 billion and volume was 2,205,460 shares on the same date.
