Company valuation and corporate activity
Textron's market value is reported at $17.46 billion. InvestingPro's analysis assigns the company a "GOOD" financial health rating. The reported data also notes that, while some executives have been selling stock, management at the company has been active in repurchasing shares, with buybacks described as aggressive in InvestingPro's dataset. Fair Value estimates cited in that analysis indicate Textron appears slightly undervalued.
Recent earnings snapshot
Textron's fourth-quarter 2025 results were mixed. The company reported revenue that came in slightly above expectations. However, earnings per share for the period were flat relative to forecasts.
