NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Textron jumped nearly 80% in premarket trading Thursday after a Kuwaiti newspaper reported a group of United Arab Emirates companies and a Kuwaiti firm wants to buy the owner of Cessna jets and Bell helicopters. Citing unidentified sources, Al-Watan Daily said the group was offering $21 a share for the Providence, R.I., company, according to a report from AFP. The consortium would reportedly take the civil side of Textron's aerospace business and sell the military side to a U.S. company, the newspaper said. Al-Watan did not give the consortium members names, AFP said. Texton stock has been rising this past week on rumors it will be bought now that its stock has plunged more than 65% in the last six months.
