July 24, 2008 9:16 AM EDT

Citi reiterates a 'Buy' rating on Textron Inc (NYSE: TXT). Price target $59.

Citi analyst says, "With a $23.5 billion backlog and $11 billion market cap, TXT is significantly undervalued. EPS visibility extends beyond 2010. Cessna and Bell are valuable iconic franchises in aerospace...Sum-Of-The-Parts (SOTP) Upside —Taking another approach, peer comps suggest TXT SOTP value up to $69, implying 38% potential upside. This approach values Cessna in the range of $35-49/share on 2009 estimates again implying at current prices investors can buy Cessna and effectively get the other 4 businesses for free...Cheap valuation should create internal or external catalyst for upside. Asset sales and large share repurchases should be immediate priority."

Textron Inc. is a multi-industry company that operates in 34 countries. The Company operates its business through four operating segments. Three of the Company’s operating segments represent its manufacturing businesses: Bell, Cessna and Industrial.
