Textron Inc. (ISIN US8832031012) fell to USD 78.11 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, setting a new 52-week low before last trading at USD 78.17. The move left the aerospace and defense group with a market capitalization of USD 13.45 billion and placed the shares below both their 50-day average of USD 85.42 and their 200-day average of USD 88.97.

Quarterly growth remains measured

The latest reported quarter was Q2 2026. According to Fortune on July 28, 2026, revenue increased 3 percent year over year to USD 3.8 billion, or USD 111 million above the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings rose to USD 1.62 per share from USD 1.55, a gain of USD 0.07 or about 4.5 percent.

The comparison is uneven across the operating units. Textron Aviation revenue grew 1 percent to USD 1.5 billion, but segment profit declined 3 percent to USD 165 million. Its backlog was USD 8 billion in Q2 2026, while Bell ended the quarter with USD 7.5 billion and Textron Systems with USD 3.3 billion.

Guidance depends on execution

Fortune reported that management reiterated fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of USD 6.40 to USD 6.60 and manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions of USD 700 million to USD 800 million. The same Q2 2026 update identified a specific downside: without additional fiscal 2026 funding for the MV-75 Cheyenne program, adjusted EPS could be reduced by USD 0.20 to USD 0.30 and cash flow by USD 150 million to USD 250 million.

That funding issue sits alongside an operational challenge in Aviation. The segment delivered 40 jets in Q2 2026 versus 49 in Q2 2025, even as demand supported an USD 8 billion backlog. For the stock, the key tension is therefore numerical: group EPS grew 4.5 percent, while Aviation segment profit fell 3 percent.

Analyst targets remain above price

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, the average rating was Hold with a consensus price target of USD 102.44. The report said TD Cowen had reduced its target from USD 115.00 to USD 105.00 and retained a Hold rating, while UBS had a Neutral rating and a USD 95.00 target.

Textron stock stays under pressure
