Textron Inc. (ISIN US8832031012) announced an order for 21 Cessna aircraft on October 21, 2026, giving Textron stock a fresh aviation milestone before its third-quarter report. The Civil Air Patrol deliveries are expected to be completed in 2027, according to Textron.
Twenty-one aircraft extend Cessna demand
The order covers seven Cessna Skyhawk 172 aircraft, 11 Skylane 182 aircraft, two Turbo Skylane T182T aircraft and one Turbo Stationair HD 206. The aircraft will support Civil Air Patrol emergency response, training and community missions across the United States.
The latest aviation update follows more than 1,220 combined flight-test hours for three Citation light-jet programs on October 19, 2026. On October 15, 2026, Textron Aviation also announced Federal Aviation Administration certification for Gogo Galileo HDX connectivity on the Cessna Citation Longitude and Citation Latitude, according to Textron.
What will October 29 test?
Textron's second-quarter revenue rose 3.00 percent year over year to USD 3.83 billion, while earnings per share reached USD 1.62 against a USD 1.55 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. The comparison gives the October 29 report a clear benchmark: analysts cited USD 1.43 expected earnings per share and USD 3.77 billion expected revenue for the third quarter.
Full-year adjusted earnings-per-share guidance stands at USD 6.40-6.60. Morgan Stanley cut its Textron target from USD 98.00 to USD 86.00 on October 16, 2026, while keeping an Equal Weight rating, according to Markets Insider.
