Textron (TXT) is back on investors’ radar after Q4 2025 results paired strong revenue contributions from Aviation and Bell with 2026 guidance that points to higher projected sales and adjusted earnings.

The share price has pulled back 2.1% over the last day to $98.55, but a 30 day share price return of 11.9% and 90 day gain of 17.7% suggest momentum has been building around the earnings update and 2026 outlook. A 1 year total shareholder return of 40.6% highlights how recent optimism fits into a stronger multi year story for investors who have held on.

With the shares now close to the average analyst price target and Textron flagging higher projected 2026 sales and adjusted earnings, the key question is whether the current valuation still leaves upside or if the market is already pricing in that growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 0.5% Undervalued

Textron’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at $99.01, almost level with the last close at $98.55, so the focus shifts to what is built into that view.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $92.571 for Textron based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $107.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of $82.0.

Analysts are incorporating assumptions about revenue expansion, margins and share count, all filtered through a single discount rate and future earnings multiple. Curious how those ingredients combine to justify a fair value that sits almost on top of today’s price, yet still differs from headline targets?

Result: Fair Value of $99.01 (ABOUT RIGHT)

However, there are still pressure points to watch, including past margin strain in Aviation from a weaker aircraft mix and softer demand in parts of the Industrial segment.
