Buy Textron ... 4 Key Discussion Points - txt

Hedgeye will host a call October 11th (at 11:00 a.m. ET) to review our LONG thesis on Textron Inc. (TXT).

We will be collaborating with Hedgeye Potomac Defense Policy head LtGen Emerson "Emo" Gardner USMC ret. to provide a multifaceted view of Textron's longer-term prospects. LtGen Gardner brings unique insight into key TXT programs, like the V-22 and V-280.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS:

  • Favorable Asymmetric Set-up: With key segment results already depressed, TXT shares appear to price in ongoing weakness, missing what can go "right".
  • Significant Aftermarket Sales, Existing Orders, FMS Potential: TXT should benefit from a well-developed installed base and sales pipeline.
  • Restructuring Underway: Management is already focused on opportunities within Industrial & Systems segments, with modest charges expected in 2H16.
  • Strong Platforms For Growth: New product introductions and potential product development, like tiltrotor drones, should add to TXT's already strong franchises.
