[Updated 7/27/2021]

Fears of another wave of coronavirus infections have been weighing on the travel & tourism industry with shares of airlines and hotels observing a contraction of 10-20% from the highs achieved in the past quarter. Despite a recovery in passenger numbers at TSA checkpoints, Southwest Airlines reported that business travel continues to lag leisure demand. Textron (NYSE: TXT) is a prominent supplier of business jets to individuals and private operators. Per Q1 filings, the company’s Aviation segment continued to observe tepid demand with an expectation of slow recovery by next year. Trefis highlights the quarterly trends in revenues, earnings, stock price, and expectations for Q2 2021 in an interactive dashboard analysis, Textron Earnings Preview.

You can test the answer and many other combinations on the Trefis Machine Learning Engine to test Textron stock chances of a rise after a fall. You can test the chance of recovery over different time intervals of a quarter, month, or even just one day!

MACHINE LEARNING ENGINE – try it yourself:

IF TXT stock moved by -5% over five trading days, THEN over the next twenty-one trading days, TXT stock moves an average of 1.6 percent, with a 56.4% probability of a positive return over this period.

Some Fun Scenarios, FAQs & Making Sense of Textron Stock Movements:

Question 1: Is the average return for Textron stock higher after a drop?

Answer: Consider two situations,

Case 1: Textron stock drops by -5% or more in a week

Case 2: Textron stock rises by 5% or more in a week

Is the average return for Textron stock higher over the subsequent month after Case 1 or Case 2?

TXT stock fares better after Case 2, with an average return of 1.6% over the next month (21 trading days) under Case 1 (where the stock has just suffered a 5% loss over the previous week), versus, an average return of 2.8% for Case 2.

In comparison, the S&P 500 has an average return of 3.1% over the next 21 trading days under Case 1, and an average return of just 0.5% for Case 2 as detailed in our dashboard that details the average return for the S&P 500 after a fall or rise.

Question 3: What about the average return after a rise if you wait for a while?

Answer:

The average return after a rise is understandably lower than after a fall as detailed in the previous question. Interestingly, though, if a stock has gained over the last few days, you would do better to avoid short-term bets for most stocks – although TXT stock appears to be an exception to this general observation.
