Kristine Liwag’s rating is based on a combination of factors that reflect a balanced risk-reward scenario for Textron. Despite Textron’s attractive valuation metrics, which are lower than its peers, the company lacks a clear catalyst path to significantly enhance shareholder value. This absence of a robust catalyst path is a key reason for maintaining a Hold rating.
Textron’s strong fundamentals, such as a solid balance sheet, growing backlog, and consistent share repurchase strategy, are acknowledged. However, without a more definitive strategy to unlock further value, the potential for a re-rating remains limited. Consequently, the price target is set at $86, factoring in both the core business and the eVTOL segment, reflecting a cautious yet balanced outlook.
According to TipRanks, Liwag is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 14.5% and a 64.73% success rate. Liwag covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Lockheed Martin, Firefly Aerospace, Inc., and Boeing.
