RTX Corporation Stock Performance
RTX Corporation shares closed at $211.71, reflecting a single-session decline of 3.08% per SID market data. Despite the sharp daily pullback, the stock has delivered a robust 25.68% gain over the trailing twelve months and a 17.84% advance over the past three months. Over the most recent one-month period, however, shares have slipped 1.25%, suggesting near-term momentum has stalled. Technically, RTX trades above both its 50-day moving average of $205.85 and its 200-day moving average of $197.14, according to SID market data. Notably, the 14-day relative strength index has dropped to 29.9, placing the stock in oversold territory and indicating recent selling pressure has been intense. RTX carries a beta of 0.435, underscoring its historically low volatility relative to the broader market. Average daily trading volume stands at approximately 4.67 million shares, supporting consistent liquidity for institutional participants.
RTX Corporation Valuation Analysis
RTX Corporation currently carries a market capitalization of approximately $237.5 billion, making it one of the largest companies in the Industrials sector, per SID market data. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 36.07, which represents a significant premium relative to the broader industrials peer group and suggests the market is pricing in substantial future earnings growth. However, the PEG ratio of 5.03 indicates that the current valuation may not be fully supported by projected earnings growth rates, according to SID market data. The price-to-book ratio stands at 3.69, reflecting a moderate premium over net asset value. RTX offers a dividend yield of approximately 1.50%, per SEC filings, providing a modest income component for shareholders. Taken together, these valuation metrics position RTX at elevated multiples, consistent with investor expectations for sustained defense and aerospace revenue expansion in coming fiscal periods.
Smart Money Activity for RTX
RTX Corporation's composite smart money score stands at 46 out of 100 with a neutral signal, according to SID market data. Institutional positioning is the strongest component, scoring a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating that major asset managers maintain significant conviction in the name. Congressional trading activity registers at 12 out of 25, reflecting moderate legislative interest. In contrast, insider sentiment is notably weak at 3.5 out of 25. Per SEC Form 4 filings, there have been nine insider transactions over the past 90 days, comprising only two purchases against seven sales. This insider selling pattern suggests that company executives and directors have been net reducers of their personal holdings. Dark pool activity scores a low 5.0 out of 25, indicating limited off-exchange institutional accumulation at current price levels. The divergence between strong institutional ownership scores and weak insider buying creates a mixed signal for investors monitoring smart money flows into RTX shares.
RTX Corporation Earnings Outlook
RTX Corporation has demonstrated a consistent pattern of exceeding Wall Street expectations in its most recent reported quarters. In the quarter reported on July 23, 2026, the company posted earnings per share of $1.89, beating the consensus estimate of $1.66 by $0.23, or approximately 13.9%, according to company earnings reports. In the prior quarter reported on April 21, 2026, RTX delivered EPS of $1.78 against an estimate of $1.52, representing a positive surprise of $0.26, or roughly 17.1%. Looking ahead, analysts project EPS of $1.66 for the upcoming quarter with results expected on July 21, 2026, while the February 2026 quarter carries a consensus estimate of $1.848, per analyst estimates. The consecutive beats suggest operational execution has been stronger than the Street anticipated, driven by the company's defense and commercial aerospace segments delivering above-forecast results across multiple reporting periods.
Wall Street Analyst Ratings for RTX
Wall Street coverage of RTX Corporation reflects a generally constructive outlook, though consensus is not uniformly bullish, per SID consensus data. In the most recent rating action on August 3, 2026, Bernstein reiterated a Market Perform rating, maintaining a neutral stance on the stock. More favorably, TD Cowen reiterated a Buy rating on July 27, 2026, while RBC Capital reaffirmed an Outperform rating on July 24, 2026, according to Wall Street analyst reports. Also on July 24, Susquehanna maintained its Positive rating, adding to the bullish contingent. Wells Fargo, however, held its Equal-Weight rating on the same date, aligning with a more cautious view. Of the five most recent analyst actions, three firms maintain positive or buy-equivalent ratings while two hold neutral positions. No analyst has issued a negative or underperform-equivalent rating in recent coverage, suggesting that even the more conservative firms view downside risk as limited at current valuation levels for the defense and aerospace conglomerate.
