Textron (NYSE: TXT) reported fourth-quarter 2025 results that met earnings expectations and exceeded revenue forecasts, though shares fell 8% intra-day on Wednesday after the company issued weaker-than-expected guidance for 2026.
Textron posted adjusted earnings of $1.73 per share on revenue of $4.2 billion, matching the earnings consensus and topping revenue expectations of $4.1 billion. Revenue rose 16% year over year, while full-year revenue increased 8% to $14.8 billion.
Textron Aviation recorded a 36% revenue increase to $1.7 billion, delivering 49 jets during the quarter compared with 32 a year earlier, as operations rebounded from a late-2024 strike. Bell helicopter revenue climbed 11% to $1.3 billion, driven by higher military deliveries tied to the U.S. Army’s MV-75 program.
For fiscal 2026, Textron forecast adjusted earnings of $6.40 to $6.60 per share on revenue of approximately $15.5 billion, below the analyst consensus of $6.84. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions was expected to range between $700 million and $800 million.
