Factors Likely to Have Influenced Bell’s Performance
Higher military sales volumes, backed by the continued ramp-up of the FLRAA program, are projected to have bolstered the Bell unit’s revenue performance.
Moreover, the Bell unit successfully delivered an IFR-configured Bell 407GXi to Global Medical Response in the first quarter. Such deliveries are expected to have boosted this segment’s top line.
However, a lower volume of the V-22 program is likely to have adversely impacted this segment’s overall revenues to some extent.

Textron Systems’ Revenues
Higher sales volumes of the Ship-to-Shore Connector program are likely to have boosted Textron Systems’ revenue performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Textron Systems’ revenues is pegged at $314.4 million, which implies a rise of 2.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Industrial Unit’s Performance
Lower volumes from the specialized vehicles product line, as well as the suspension of powersports production, are likely to have impacted TXT’s Industrial segment’s performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Industrial segment’s revenues is pegged at $800.7 million, which indicates a decline of 10.2% from the year-ago quarter.
TXT’s Q1 Estimates
The robust revenue performance in three of its four major business segments is likely to have bolstered TXT’s overall top line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for TXT’s first-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.25 billion, which indicates growth of 3.5% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
