Company Overview

RTX Corp is a U.S. aerospace and defense company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It designs and manufactures advanced systems for both commercial and military applications. The company’s operations span propulsion, avionics, and defense technologies. Its market capitalization is about USD 275 billion.

Analysis of recent data

Fundamentals

RTX reported USD figures for 2025 with revenue of about 88.6 billion, reflecting roughly 9.7% year‑over‑year growth. Net income reached 7.07 billion, while depreciation and amortization totaled 4.38 billion and capital expenditures were 2.63 billion. EBIT was not provided, limiting full cash‑flow assessment.

Gross margin of 20.08% and operating margin of 10.5% indicate moderate efficiency for a large defense contractor. The net profit margin of 7.6% shows modest profitability, and ROE of 10.62% points to steady returns on equity.

A beta of 0.40 suggests relatively low share volatility. Cash of 7.44 billion compared with total debt of 3.62 billion highlights a strong balance sheet position.

Valuation

DCF / Multiples

At a share price of USD 204.52, RTX trades below the DCF base case and above the bear case, implying potential upside if assumptions hold. The valuation also embeds a 40.78 P/E and 20.54 EV/EBITDA, suggesting investors are paying for durability rather than rapid growth.

The DCF modeling points to upside potential from current levels, though missing EBIT data limits precision. The market appears to value the company’s resilience and cash strength more than its growth prospects.

Conclusion

Takeaway

RTX looks priced for steadiness rather than excitement. The market seems to value its resilience more than its growth prospects. Limited earnings detail adds uncertainty to the picture. Still, for investors seeking consistency, the company’s profile may justify patience.
