Sheila Kahyaoglu’s rating is based on several positive indicators for Textron’s future performance. The company showed strong results in its Aviation segment, which constitutes a significant portion of its sales, and Bell’s year-over-year growth also contributed positively to earnings. The expectation of revenue and EBIT growth by 2025, along with an increased EPS estimate, reflects confidence in Textron’s operational improvements and strategic initiatives.
Textron’s strategic divestments and its compliance with USMCA regulations are expected to minimize the impact of tariffs, which is favorable for its Industrial segment. Additionally, the company’s backlog in Aviation provides substantial coverage for future deliveries, supporting long-term revenue stability. The stock’s current trading valuation, at a discount compared to peers, combined with these growth prospects, underpins the Buy rating with a price target of $85.
Kahyaoglu covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Boeing, GE Aerospace, and HEICO. According to TipRanks, Kahyaoglu has an average return of 9.0% and a 57.37% success rate on recommended stocks.
