Textron's downbeat profit outlook comes despite lowered tax rate expected
Textron Inc.'s stock tumbled 8.9% to a six-month low in midday trade Thursday, after the diversified industrial company missed third-quarter earnings expectations and provided a downbeat profit outlook. The company said before the open that it was narrowing its 2018 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance range by 5 cents on each side to $3.20 to $3.30 from $3.15 to $3.35, but the new outlook was below the FactSet consensus of $3.33. When the original guidance range was provided in its second-quarter report released in July, Chief Financial Officer Frank Connor said at the time that the guidance assumed a 2018 tax rate of about 19.5%, according to a transcript provided by FactSet. In Thursday's conference call, Connor said he now expects a tax rate of 17%. Based on the FactSet consensus for 2018 adjusted net income of $848.4 million, and 249,378,000 diluted shares outstanding used in calculating third-quarter EPS, the lower expected tax rate could give an 8.5-cent boost 2018 EPS.

Whirlpool's stock tumbles toward lowest close since February 2013 after analyst downgrades
Shares of Whirlpool Corp. sank 5.4% to pace the industrial sector decliners, after J.P. Morgan downgraded the home appliances maker, citing risks to growth and margins from continued weakness in appliance industry shipments. The stock was on track for its lowest close since Feb. 11, 2013. Analyst Michael Rehaut cut his rating to neutral after being at overweight since March 2016. He said U.S. Core 6 appliance industry shipments have remained consistently weak over the last several months, declining by an average of 5% year-over-year over the last five months through August, which would put year-to-date industry shipments down 1% versus Whirlpool's outlook for full-year growth of 1% to 2%. "As a result, we believe downside risk exists to [Whirlpool's] industry outlook as well as its North America margins due to reduced production levels and a potentially more competitive industry backdrop resulting from reduced demand as well as possibly pricing power," Rehaut wrote in a note to clients. The stock, which was the biggest decliner in the SPDR Industrial Select Sector ETF on Tuesday, has tumbled 31% over the past three months, while the industrial ETF has gained 6.2% and the S&P 500 has edged up 3.5%.

Moody's reviewing GE credit for possible downgrade of more than 1 notch
General Electric Co.'s stock slipped 0.3% in morning trade Tuesday, after Moody's Investors Service placed the industrial conglomerate's credit ratings under a review for a possible downgrade, which may not be limited to one notch. GE's senior unsecured debt rating is currently A2 and the short-term rating is P-1. The credit rating agency said the review is based on GE's announcement Monday that it will miss its 2018 guidance for free cash flow and earnings per share, that it expects to take an impairment charge of close to $23 billion and that it was changing its CEO. On Monday, GE said it was replacing Chief Executive John Flannery, who was in the role for 14 months, with outsider and former Danaher Corp. CEO Lawrence Culp. "Among the range of issues that Moody's will consider is the impact on GE's earnings and cash flow prospects of the continuing deterioration in its Power business, which is likely to persist for some time," Moody's said in its report. "The dimmer prospects for GE Power take on heightened importance given the loss of free cash flow from GE's planned divestitures, including the highly cash generative GE Transportation and GE Healthcare." GE shares have tumbled 31% year to date, while the SPDR Industrial Select Sector ETF has gained 4.6% and the S&P 500 has advanced 9.4%.
