The fair value depends on how Textron converts aircraft demand, margin adjustments, and Industrial separation plans into higher earnings using an 8.56% discount rate. The narrative implicitly includes firmer profitability, a higher earnings multiple, and a lower share count. It raises the question of which of these assumptions has the greatest impact on the $103.45 figure.

Result: Fair Value of $103.45 (UNDERVALUED)

However, Textron still has clear pressure points, particularly around segment profit falling despite revenue of $15.2b and softer Industrial volume. This could undermine the undervaluation case.
