Parent Company Plans Industrial Spinoff Amid Growth
Textron Aviation has reported a 22% increase in revenues for the first quarter, driven by strong demand in the business aviation sector. Meanwhile, its parent company, Textron Inc., has announced plans to separate its Industrial segment, with the goal of becoming a pure-play aerospace and defense company.
