TXT TEXTRON INC Insider Trading

Director Kennedy Thomas A purchases over 10,000 shares of Textron at market price, doubling his stake

Kennedy Thomas A, a Textron director, executed a substantial open-market purchase of over 10,000 shares near the stock's current trading levels while the company is posting solid profitability and revenue growth. What makes this noteworthy is the scale and timing: the purchase doubled his holdings in a single transaction, suggesting deliberate conviction rather than routine vesting or option exercise. The director is buying into a financially healthy company trading modestly below its highs after a strong recent rally, which indicates confidence that Textron's fundamentals support the stock at current levels. This is the kind of material director commitment that often precedes positive catalysts or reflects insider confidence that the market hasn't fully priced in the company's operational strength.

CEO Lisa M Atherton sold 7,600 TXT shares at $98.68 (Feb 13); holds 26,941 shares post-sale. Stock now at $100.25.

Lisa M Atherton, President and CEO of Textron, sold 7,600 shares (22.0% reduction of her pre-transaction holdings) at $98.68 on 2026-02-13, with total proceeds of $749,968.00. The current stock price of $100.25 sits at the 52-week high and has appreciated 6.4% over the past 30 days and 26.0% over 90 days, suggesting the company has momentum. Atherton's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day win rate of 0.00% and average 90-day returns of -10.6%, indicating her past discretionary transactions have not been well-timed. The sale reduces her stake to 26,941 shares while the company posts solid fundamentals—$3.6B quarterly revenue with $234.0M net income and 8.0% annual growth—but without FLAGS indicating a scheduled 10b5-1 plan or other constraining circumstances, the discretionary sale at $98.68 occurs during a strong price run and prior to today's 52-week high, warranting monitoring for follow-on transactions.

VP & Corporate Controller Bamford Mark S sold 29,341 shares at $98.19 blended average, reducing holdings 78.8%, for $2.9M

Bamford Mark S executed 2 separate sales totaling 29,341 shares for $2,881,103.78 on February 13 and 17, 2026, at prices of $98.68 and $97.96 respectively. This represents a 78.8% reduction in his TXT holdings, from 37,212 shares to 7,871 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred near the 52-week high of $100.25, within $2.06 of current market price. Across his prior 5 open-market sales at TXT, his trade timing at the 90-day horizon has been poor, with only 1 of 5 sells well-timed and an average 90-day return of +0.9%, meaning the stock typically rose after his sales. His cross-ticker track record shows a 20% well-timed rate on sells with an average 90-day return of +0.9%, similarly reflecting post-sale stock appreciation. The substantial reduction in an executive's position at a company with solid fundamentals ($3.6B revenue, +8.0% growth, P/E 18.88, $17.5B market cap) merits monitoring given the magnitude of the stake reduction, though the sale timing does not exhibit the pattern of prescient sell execution evident in other insiders' histories.

EVP Lupone sells 28,056 shares of TXT at $98.84; holds 103,991 shares after sale

Lupone E Robert (EVP, General Counsel & Secretary) sold 28,056 shares at $98.84 on 2026-02-17, reducing holdings by 21.2% from 132,047 to 103,991 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $100.25, with the stock up 6.4% in the prior 30 days and 26.0% over 90 days. His prior trades at TXT (5 prior sells) all posted positive 90-day returns, averaging +4.3% after the sale, meaning none were well-timed against subsequent declines. The company shows solid fundamentals with $3.6B quarterly revenue, +8.0% annual growth, and a P/E of 18.88. The sale's timing near recent highs and the lack of a well-timed pattern at this ticker provide limited directional signal.

Donnelly (Executive Chairman) sold 219,619 shares at blended average $98.41; stock now at $100.25

Executive Chairman Scott C. Donnelly sold 219,619 shares across 3 separate transactions totaling $21,612,724.35, reducing holdings by 22.8% from 962,037 to 742,418 shares. The sales executed at a blended average price of $98.41, just 1.8% below the current price of $100.25. His prior two sells at TXT (February 2024) posted positive 90-day returns (+2.0% each), indicating his recent historical sales at this ticker have not preceded price declines. With the stock currently at its 52-week high and up 26.0% over 90 days, this large-scale reduction in stake merits monitoring, though the proximity of execution prices to current market levels suggests the transaction was not preceded by sharp price momentum shifts.

EVP/CHRO Duffy Julie G sold 19,857 shares of TXT at $98.70 for $1,959,842.21; stock now at $100.25.

Julie G Duffy, EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer, executed a sale of 19,857 shares (approximately -34.9% of her prior holdings) at $98.70, reducing her position from 56,896 to 37,039 shares. The transaction closed at a discount to the current market price of $100.25, and the stock has appreciated 26.0% over the past 90 days. Her prior trades at TXT show a 0 of 4 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark, with post-sale returns averaging positive (all four prior TXT sales were followed by price appreciation). The broader company context shows Textron generating $3.6B in quarterly revenue with 8.0% annual growth and healthy profitability ($234.0M net income), trading at a P/E of 18.88 near its 52-week high of $100.25.

TXT EVP/CHRO Duffy sold 28,543 shares ($2.3M) at $79.37 avg, reducing holdings 43.5%; stock now $78.14

Julie G. Duffy executed two separate sales totaling 28,543 shares for $2,265,469.27 at a blended average price of $79.37 on 2025-07-25. This represents a -43.5% reduction in her holdings, from 65,582 shares to 37,039 shares. The stock is currently trading at $78.14, down 2.7% over 30 days and -15.9% from its 52-week high of $92.90. Her same-ticker history shows two prior sells on 2024-02-14, neither of which achieved positive 90-day returns (both showed +7.1%–7.3% at 30 days but +1.6%–1.7% at 90 days). The material size of this liquidation and the sustained weakness in the stock warrant observation, though without scheduled plan disclosure the discretionary nature and motivation remain opaque.

Bamford (VP & Corporate Controller) sold 7,451 shares at blended $72.90; stock down 7.3% in 30 days, 14.1% in 90 days

Bamford sold 2 separate tranches totaling 7,451 shares for $543,178.68 on 2025-02-24 and 2025-02-25 at prices of $72.68 and $73.50 respectively, reducing his holdings by 29.0% to 18,222 shares. The stock has since declined 7.3% over 30 days and 14.1% over 90 days from the filing date, placing it 24.6% below its 52-week high. Notably, his prior three open-market sales at this ticker showed a 0 out of 3 well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, with average 90-day returns of +1.2% to +1.9%, meaning the stock rose after those sales. This transaction demonstrates a meaningful reduction in position exposure coinciding with recent negative price momentum, though his historical selling activity at this ticker has not preceded significant declines.
