Spark’s Take on TXT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TXT is a Outperform.

Overall score reflects strong financial quality (cash generation and manageable leverage) and a positive earnings outlook with guided growth and improving profitability. The score is moderated by weaker near-term technical momentum (RSI ~38 and price below the 20-day average) and program/operational risks highlighted on the call (MV-75 ramp costs and potential catch-up charges, plus supply-chain constraints).
