Textron Q2 2026: Aviation demand softens, Bell production accelerates, Industrial segment sale initiated
Textron delivered 3% revenue growth to $3.8 billion in Q2 2026, with strong Bell military production offsetting aviation volume declines. Adjusted EPS rose 4.5% year-over-year to $1.62, but cash flow compressed 54% to $154 million before pension contributions, driven by inventory buildup across all manufacturing segments. The company initiated a sale process for its Industrial segment and reiterated full-year guidance of $6.40–$6.60 adjusted EPS, contingent on receipt of $150–$250 million in additional MV-75 Cheyenne program funding through an Above Threshold Reprogramming request.

Read filing description ↓ Collapse description ↑
Textron Inc. is a multi-industry company that leverages its global network of aircraft, defense, industrial and finance businesses to provide customers with innovative products and services around the world. Through 2025, we conducted our business through six operating segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Textron eAviation, which represent our manufacturing businesses, and Finance, which represents our captive finance business. Our segments include numerous separately incorporated subsidiaries. Effective January 4, 2026, the beginning of our 2026 fiscal year, the business activities of the Textron eAviation segment were realigned within Textron's other operating segments resulting in the elimination of the Textron eAviation segment as a separate reporting segment. Textron Aviation is a leader in general aviation, manufacturing and servicing Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft and the Hawker brand of business jets. Bell is a leading worldwide supplier of military and commercial helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft, and related spare parts and services. The Textron Systems segment develops, manufactures and integrates products and services for U.S. and international military, government and commercial customers. The Industrial segment includes Kautex, a leader in plastic fuel systems for automobiles, and Textron Specialized Vehicles, which manufactures golf cars, utility vehicles, and aviation ground support equipment under brands including E-Z-GO, Jacobsen and Cushman. The Finance segment provides financing primarily to purchasers of new and pre-owned Textron Aviation aircraft and Bell helicopters.
