[Textron](https://www.bullished.co/tag/txt/) shares [climbed 12.01% to $87.73](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/textron-txt-q3-earnings-beat-104506099.html?.tsrc=rss&ref=bullished.co) in Thursday trading, as of 10:39 a.m. ET, adding $1.6 billion in market value, on the day the maker of Cessna jets and Bell helicopters raised its full-year earnings and cash flow outlook.

## A higher outlook on jet deliveries

Textron [raised its adjusted earnings forecast](https://markets.ft.com/data/announce/detail?dockey=600-202610290630BIZWIRE%5FUSPRX%5F%5F%5F%5F20261029%5FBW612694-1&ref=bullished.co) for the full year to $6.55 to $6.65 per share, from $6.40 to $6.60\. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions is now expected at $800 million to $900 million, up from $700 million to $800 million, the company said.

The raise came after Congress approved Army funding for Bell's MV-75 Cheyenne helicopter program. Higher Citation jet deliveries offset weaker Bell revenue in the quarter.

Third-quarter adjusted earnings were $1.76 per share on revenue of $3.8 billion. Textron Aviation delivered 51 jets, against 42 a year earlier, according to the release. The company spent $239 million on share repurchases in the quarter.

The stock was on pace for its fourth straight daily gain and its biggest one-day gain in at least 275 trading sessions.

## A stock that had lagged the market

Textron, a multi-industry company, also builds military and commercial helicopters, unmanned aircraft, armored vehicles and golf cars, and runs a finance arm. Its 2025 revenue was $14.8 billion, about 27% of it from U.S. Government contracts.

Before Thursday, the shares were down about 10% this year as of Wednesday's close, while the S&P 500 was up about 13%. They sat 22% below their highest close of the past year, set on Feb. 20.

In July, Textron [reported revenue growth of 3%](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/217346/000021734626000036/txt-20260704.htm?ref=bullished.co) to $3.8 billion, with net income of $248 million.

Textron's CFO said on the earnings call that a delayed first MV-75 production award would increase the expected negative charge on Bell's Army program.
