Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) has seen both ups and downs over the past five years. Shareholders have experienced a
79% return in that period, however, its stock recently dropped by 7.4% since its last earnings report. Analysts offer a hold rating on the company, whose investors are primarily institutional, owning 87% of the firm. Despite some downfall, various fund management firms such as
Rhumbline Advisers, AustralianSuper Pty Ltd, and Empowered Funds LLC have increased their stakes in Textron. The company has notably been expanding its capabilities, with the opening of a new service facility at
Essendon Fields Airport, Australia. However, the company’s performance wasn't always ideal; Q4 sales were subpar, missing revenue estimates, and its stock reached a new 12-month low. Textron has faced business challenges and tinkered with its off-road vehicles sector, showing some measure of adaptability. However, this has not deterred long-term investors, with many still valuing Textron’s financial prospects. The company also earned FAA approval for a safety management system in aircraft design and manufacturing, indicating solid innovation. On the downside, its CFO Frank Connor announced a retirement effective February 2025.
