Top 10 scores & list membership
TXT is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Long-term score
40.3 #815 of 987 scored · #161 of 197 in Industrials
Valuation 80th (price to earnings 15.7, price to book 1.8) and growth 49th (revenue growth year over year 8.8%, 3-year revenue CAGR 3.6%); weakest is capital return (11th, consecutive years of dividend increases 1 year).
Short-term score
33.7 #1589 of 1,704 scored · #258 of 283 in Industrials
Volume and participation 48th: trading volume is about normal versus its 30-day average; setup 39th: no Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings; weakest is trend 18th: the price is 5% below the average price paid over the period covered, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water.
Scores as of 21 Aug 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 2.
Dividend coverage (FY2026)
Covered by reported results. In FY2026, TXT's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 2%, free-cash-flow payout 2%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout2% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payout2% dividends / (operating cash flow − capex)
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2026 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Textron looks technically
Textron (TXT) is trading 7.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 1 trading day ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 34, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2025-12-02, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 18.3% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 7.7% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -7.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $89.71 | $89.71 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $89.86 | $89.86 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 11 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 11 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five; the labelling fails if price closes above 90.25. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a three-part correction in leg C. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 3 (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 1 trading day ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 1 session |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend | 18.4 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 34, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 34.4 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading right at the bottom of its 14-day range ($82.68 to $90.25) — its "stochastic" reading is 4 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 3.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 5 sessions |

| Since a 55-day breakout | it just made a new 55-day low, its first since 2025-12-02, breaking below its recent trading range | 1 session |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $101.57 (set on 2026-02-18) | $101.57 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($79.07 to $100.77), and it has given back almost all of its rise from last year’s low — 82% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $86.67 to $87.36. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 82.1% |
| From the all-time high | it is 18.3% below its all-time high | -18.3% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a support level at $82.81 — a price it turned at three times since 2025-08-22, most recently on 2025-11-12. Since 2024-08-21 it has 5 such levels below the current price and 7 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $3.57 (set on 2009-03-06) | $3.57 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 2223.5% above its all-time low | +2,224% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 69th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $2.30 between its high and its low — about 2.8% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $2.30 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $82.65 and $93.06 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $82.65 – $87.86 – $93.06 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.8% in a typical session — calmer than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 2.8% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (7.7% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 3.0 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps

|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 5.4% below the previous close 18 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 96.13 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -5.4% |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 8.7% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-16 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is thin, spanning 1.1% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -8.7% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 9% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $91.26 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 157 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -9.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 5% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-28 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $87.48 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 19 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.2% |
Price levels it has turned at before

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $90.25.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $70.11 and $77.80 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a three-part correction in leg C, which fails on a close above $90.25.
This reading has stood for 5 trading days, since 2026-08-17.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.

Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable.

- Added:
- Newer filing (2026-04-30): Added disclosure about February 20, 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were not authorized by statute, with statement that impact is currently believed to be not material.
- Newer filing (2026-04-30): Added disclosure about effective January 4, 2026 segment realignment eliminating Textron eAviation as separate reporting segment, with Pipistrel and operations redistributed to Textron Aviation, Textron Systems, and corporate expenses.
- Newer filing (2026-04-30): Added three-month period comparison data for April 4, 2026 vs. March 29, 2025 with specific segment revenue breakdowns and operational metrics.
- Removed:

- Older filing (2025-10-23): Removed nine-month period financial data and comparisons that were present in the older 10-Q.
- Older filing (2025-10-23): Removed disclosure about tariff reconciliation and refund process with U.S. Government for USMCA-compliant materials and components.
- Reworded:
- Percentage of U.S. revenues changed from '71% of our 2024 revenues' (older) to '69% of our 2025 revenues' (newer).
- Tariff authority reference changed from general 'Changes to the United States trade policy' (older) to specific reference to 'International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)' (newer).

- Notes:
- Older filing covered three-month and nine-month periods ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024; newer filing covers only three-month period ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025—different fiscal periods limit direct comparability of some metrics.
- Segment realignment in newer filing makes year-over-year segment-level comparisons less direct; older filing included separate Textron eAviation segment.
- Text of older filing appears truncated at end of several sections, limiting ability to assess completeness of comparison for those sections.
