Textron Q2 Revenue Jumps 5 Percent

(NYSE:TXT), the aerospace and defense group behind Cessna and Bell, reported its second quarter earnings on July 24, 2025. The main headlines were a beat on both earnings and revenue expectations, with the company posting adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share of $1.55 compared to an analyst estimate of $1.45. Revenue (GAAP) also exceeded forecasts, coming in at $3.70 billion against the expected $3.64 billion, rising 5.4% from the prior year (GAAP). While overall results were positive in terms of growth and cash generation, profitability was challenged in core segments due to product mix, higher warranty costs, and research and development spending. Management raised its cash flow outlook but kept full-year earnings guidance steady, reflecting both confidence and ongoing cost pressures this period.
