Textron Reports Strong Q4 Revenue Growth, Exceeds Estimates
Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) announced fourth-quarter revenue of $4.2 billion, surpassing the estimated $3.9 billion for the period. The aerospace and defense manufacturer reported a year-over-year increase in sales, driven by robust demand in its Bell segment, which produces military and commercial helicopters, and its Textron Aviation division, which manufactures business jets and turboprop aircraft.
The company's full-year 2025 results reflect a 34.98% increase in share price since January 2025, outperforming broader market trends. Despite a recent 0.4% decline in one-week performance, Textron's three-month return stands at 18.77%, indicating sustained investor confidence.
Financial metrics highlight Textron's operational strength. The company reported a 6.2% profit margin, with earnings of $921 million for the quarter, and maintained a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.3, signaling manageable leverage. Analysts note that Textron's price-to-earnings ratio of 19.15x is significantly lower than both the industry average (60.1x) and the broader U.S. market average (38.07x), suggesting relative value.
Looking ahead, Textron's next earnings report is scheduled for April 23, 2026. The company has also demonstrated environmental and governance progress, with its Kautex Textron subsidiary achieving CDP climate change leadership status and improving water security scores.
While the stock currently trades at $98.63, above its 52-week low of $57.70 but below its 52-week high of $101.57, market analysts remain cautiously optimistic. A Zen Rating of "B" (Buy) underscores its potential to outperform the market, though challenges such as industry competition and macroeconomic headwinds could impact future growth.
Textron's performance underscores its position as a key player in the defense and aerospace sectors, with a market capitalization of $17.18 billion as of February 26, 2026. Investors will closely watch upcoming earnings and broader industry trends for further guidance.
