Textron: Not My Favorite Aerospace And Defense Stock, But It Is A Strong Buy Now

Textron is upgraded to strong buy, with the stock trading at a substantial discount to its median EV/EBITDA multiple. TXT's recent underperformance is attributed to geopolitical tensions, but revenue and EPS estimates have remained largely resilient. Despite modest 4.2% annual sales growth, I expect EBITDA and free cash flow CAGRs of around 10%, with margin improvement and debt reduction.
