What's Driving This Ratingfor TXT

✓

CapEx already efficient

CapEx at 2.54% of revenue is already at or below sector maintenance level. No normalization needed — cash conversion is already strong.

↑

Margin expansion modeled

Current EBIT margin is 8.29% — below the sector mature average of 13.00%. Model expands margins as the business scales and operating leverage kicks in. Year 10 EBIT reaches $2.2B (11.46% margin).

→

Moderate revenue growth

Analyst consensus projects -0.27% revenue growth, fading to 2.25% by Year 10. Revenue reaches $19.5B (vs $14.8B today).

↔

Perpetuity and exit methods disagree

Perpetuity growth gives $119.61/share (18.3x terminal FCF) while exit multiple gives $164.87/share (28.2x terminal FCF). The 18x EV/EBITDA exit reflects current market multiples, while the perpetuity method with 2.25% growth is more conservative. The base case averages both methods.

🎯

Market pricing in lower growth than model

The market implies only 0.72% perpetual growth — 153bps below the model's 2.25%. This suggests the market sees headwinds or risks not in the model.

✓

Strong cash flow conversion

Year 10 FCF/EBITDA conversion of 63.77% indicates efficient cash generation. FCF reaches $1.7B by Year 10 (8.97% FCF margin).

WACC Calculation

WACC = (E/V × Re) + (D/V × Rd × (1-Tc))

WACC = (83.70% × 8.90%) + (16.30% × 2.39%)

= 7.84%
