Textron nine-month revenue rises 4.1% to $3.75B, EPS up 19.1%

what happened

Textron reported nine-month 2026 revenue of $3.75B, compared with $3.6B a year earlier, an increase of 4.1%. Net income climbed 15.4% to $270M, and diluted earnings per share grew 19.1% to $1.56. The figures come from a quarterly 10-Q filing, as summarized by TradingView.

Textron Aviation and Textron Systems each posted 12% revenue growth, helped by deliveries of Citation and turboprop aircraft and higher aftermarket sales. Bell's revenue rose 2%, while Industrial was flat. Bell's segment profit fell 15%, however, reflecting weaker commercial volume and a less favorable program mix.

The company also flagged a possible unfavorable adjustment of $110M to $150M on the MV-75 program if the LRIP option is awarded in 2027. Management still expects the program to be profitable. In 2026, Textron eAviation was folded into Aviation, Systems and corporate activities, and prior-period results were recast.

why it matters

For investors, the report reads as broadly positive: profit is growing faster than revenue, and the aerospace units are driving most of the gain. The main risks are a possible MV-75 charge and continued softness in Bell's commercial business.
