Executives should like Textron: The company's golf carts enrich their golfing jaunts, its Cessna airplanes and Bell helicopters whisk them around, its auto parts keep their cars running, and its financial subsidiary provides loans. Cessna and Bell are bright spots in Textron's financial results. Cessna accounts for more than half of profits; Bell about 20%. While Textron enjoyed healthy sales growth and good profit margins for several years, changes in the Pentagon budget and the global recession may dampen business in several segments. The US government accounts for about one-quarter of Textron's sales; geographically, customers in the US represent nearly two-thirds of sales.
