Textron grew Q1 revenue 12% to $3.7B with adjusted EPS rising to $1.45 from $1.28 as aviation revenue surged 22% with backlog reaching $8B, and an industrial separation was announced to create a pure-play aerospace and defense company. The MV-75 Cheyenne gained Army FYDP funding visibility while Systems won a $450M ARV preproduction contract, strengthening the defense portfolio. FY2026 EPS guidance of $6.40-6.60 was implicitly maintained though management noted it was early to revise, and aviation targeted equilibrium of 200 annual jet deliveries.
