RTX Corporation has delivered four consecutive quarterly earnings beats averaging 13.1% above estimates with strong price momentum in a breakout pattern, but below-average business quality scores and single-source foreign supplier concentration risk constrain the risk/reward for new buyers at current prices.

About RTX Corporation
About RTX Corporation
RTX Corporation reported a total backlog of $268 billion at December 31, 2025, up from $218 billion a year earlier, with approximately 25% expected to convert to revenue over the next 12 months. U.S. government sales totaled $33.3 billion (38% of net revenue) and international sales reached $41.3 billion (47%) in 2025, delivered through Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon, with the company employing 180,000 people across 52 countries, including roughly 32,000 represented by labor unions.
Collins Aerospace earns revenue from aerospace systems and aftermarket services sold to aircraft manufacturers, airlines, and defense contractors; Boeing and Airbus combined represented 16% of Collins segment sales in 2025. Pratt & Whitney generates revenue from commercial engine deliveries and aftermarket—the GTF fleet now powers more than 2,600 aircraft for over 90 operators across three platforms—and from military programs, including the F135 engine that exclusively powers all three F-35 Lightning II variants and received a $2.8 billion undefinitized contract action for Lots 18 and 19 in 2025. Raytheon earns primarily through U.S. DoW contracts for air and missile defense including Patriot, AMRAAM, Tomahawk, and SM-6, plus international foreign military sales. Raw material inputs—cobalt, titanium, rhenium, and rare earth elements—depend in part on foreign single-source suppliers, and recent supply chain disruptions have driven delays and increased costs.

Geopolitical exposure is material: in February 2023, China imposed sanctions on Raytheon Missiles & Defense in connection with foreign military sales to Taiwan, and has since announced additional sanctions targeting the Raytheon business and a Collins Aerospace joint venture. If China were to enforce or expand these measures, the 10-K notes it could potentially disrupt RTX's business operations and constrain commercial aerospace sales in China. Separately, Pratt & Whitney identified in July 2023 a rare powder metal condition requiring accelerated inspection of the PW1100G-JM GTF fleet; shop visit output increased about 26% year over year in 2025 but the program continues to carry cost and delivery exposure.
