Demand seasonality for Textron's product portfolio varies across its segments. Demand for private jets tends to peak during summer months and around holidays. Golf cart sales and usage typically peak during warmer months, from spring through early fall. Demand in the defense sector is generally less seasonal and often driven by geopolitical tensions, defense modernization initiatives, and long-term government contracts. The automotive supply industry can be influenced by automotive production cycles and consumer purchasing patterns.
