About RTX Corp (RTX)
RTX Corporation is a US-based aerospace and defense conglomerate formed in April 2020 through the merger of Raytheon Company and United Technologies Corporation's aerospace businesses. Listed on the NYSE under RTX (rebranded from RTX Technologies in 2023) and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, RTX is America's second-largest defense contractor and one of the largest commercial-aerospace suppliers in the world. Chris Calio became CEO in May 2024, succeeding Greg Hayes.
RTX operates three reporting segments. **Collins Aerospace** provides avionics, cabin interiors, landing systems, mechanical systems, and mission systems for virtually every commercial and military aircraft — a diversified supplier business. **Pratt & Whitney** designs and builds commercial and military aircraft engines including the geared-turbofan GTF (powering the A320neo family and A220), the F135 engine for the F-35, the F119 for the F-22, and various regional and business-jet engines. **Raytheon Defense** builds air and missile defense (Patriot, NASAMS, StormBreaker, GEM-T interceptor), radars, sensors, precision-strike weapons (Tomahawk cruise missile, AMRAAM air-to-air missile, Excalibur artillery round), and space systems.
RTX has spent 2023-2025 working through a major operational issue on the Pratt & Whitney geared-turbofan engine — a rare powder metal defect required accelerated inspections and material re-work, temporarily grounding aircraft and requiring ~$10B in customer compensation. This charge is largely absorbed, and 2025-2026 free cash flow is expected to inflect meaningfully higher as inspections wind down. Meanwhile, Raytheon Defense benefits from massive US + allied replenishment orders on Patriot, NASAMS, and Tomahawk driven by Ukraine, Israel, and Pacific-theater conflicts. Dividend growth is consistent and buybacks are significant.
What RTX Corp Actually Does
- Pratt & Whitney commercial + military aircraft engines (GTF, F135, F119)
- Collins Aerospace avionics + cabin interiors + landing systems
- Raytheon Patriot + NASAMS + GEM-T air defense
- Raytheon Tomahawk cruise missile + AMRAAM + StormBreaker
- Radars, sensors, and space systems
- Precision-strike weapons (Excalibur, JDAM-ER, StormBreaker)
Investment Thesis
Massive replenishment demand for Patriot + NASAMS + Tomahawk from Ukraine + Israel + Taiwan is a multi-year revenue tailwind. Pratt & Whitney GTF issue is being resolved; free cash flow should inflect materially higher in 2025-2026. Collins Aerospace provides diversified commercial-aerospace exposure. Consistent dividend growth + $10B buyback.
Pratt & Whitney GTF issue could produce additional charges or reputational damage. Commercial-aerospace demand is exposed to any global recession. Defense side, while strong, is dependent on continued US + allied budget appropriations.
