11:00 AM EDT, 10/27/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We maintain our 12-month target price of $98, as we value TXT at a P/E multiple of 14.0x our 2026 EPS estimate, a small premium to TXT's three-year average forward P/E of 13.5x but a significant (and attractive) discount to peers, which are trading at an average forward P/E of 24.5x. We trim our 2025 EPS estimate by $0.02 to $6.18 but raise our 2026 EPS forecast by $0.03 to $7.00. TXT's diversified aerospace and defense portfolio provides attractive risk-adjusted returns through multiple growth catalysts. The transformational MV-75 tiltrotor program offers decades of production visibility, while Aviation's margin recovery trajectory supports earnings expansion. Strong cash generation enables sustained capital returns alongside growth investments. The $19.1 billion backlog provides multi-year revenue visibility across defense and commercial markets. We view current valuations as compelling given TXT's defensive characteristics and secular growth drivers.
