Textron: Great Quarter, But They Could Lose 2 Large Contracts

The fate of two large Bell contracts dominates investors' view of Textron. These contracts represent a large growth opportunity, but Textron will prosper without them.
The EPS for the first quarter was 88 cents per share up 25% year over year. The stock rose 7.5% on the day earnings were announced.
Pipistrel, an electric aircraft producer acquired on April 15th, will form a new segment called eAviation to develop additional electric-powered aircraft including the eVTOL.
I believe Bell will lose one of the two military contracts and possibly both. Yet the EPS guidance of $3.80 to $4.00 will be achieved, and the long-term future is bright; but considering these potential contract losses, Textron is a hold.
