RTX Corporation Stock Performance

RTX Corporation shares closed at $199.40, reflecting a daily decline of 3.08% per SID market data. Over the trailing one-month period, the stock has gained 4.76%, though it has pulled back 8.65% over the past three months. On a twelve-month basis, RTX has posted a modest 4.03% gain. The stock currently trades above both its 50-day moving average of $195.46 and its 200-day moving average of $195.91, according to SID market data, suggesting the recent pullback has not yet breached key technical support levels. The 14-day relative strength index stands at 64.7, positioning the stock in neutral-to-moderately-bullish territory below the traditional overbought threshold of 70. RTX carries a beta of 0.435, indicating substantially lower volatility than the broader market. Average daily trading volume registers at approximately 4.67 million shares, reflecting consistent institutional participation in the name.

RTX Corporation Valuation Analysis

RTX Corporation currently holds 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 premium relative to many industrial peers and suggests the market is pricing in meaningful forward earnings growth. However, the PEG ratio of 5.03 indicates that the current P/E may not be fully supported by the company's projected earnings growth rate, according to SID market data. The price-to-book ratio stands at 3.69, reflecting a significant premium above book value. RTX offers a dividend yield of approximately 1.50%, per SEC filings, providing modest income to shareholders. Taken together, these valuation metrics position RTX at the higher end of its sector's valuation spectrum, with investors paying a notable premium for the company's defense and aerospace portfolio and revenue visibility.

Smart Money Activity for RTX

RTX Corporation's composite smart money score stands at 46 out of 100, registering a neutral signal according to SID market data. Institutional positioning scores a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating robust confidence from major fund managers and asset allocators tracked through 13F institutional filings. In contrast, insider activity scores 0 out of 25, with four insider transactions recorded over the past 90 days — evenly split between two purchases and two sells, per SEC Form 4 filings. This balanced insider activity provides no clear directional conviction from company executives. Dark pool activity registers at 8.5 out of 25, suggesting relatively muted off-exchange accumulation. Congressional trading activity scores 12 out of 25, reflecting moderate legislative interest in the defense contractor. The divergence between exceptionally strong institutional holdings and neutral-to-weak scores across insider and dark pool categories produces the overall neutral composite reading, highlighting mixed sentiment among different categories of sophisticated market participants.

RTX Corporation Earnings Outlook

RTX Corporation has demonstrated a consistent pattern of exceeding analyst expectations across its most recent reported quarters. In the most recent quarter, RTX delivered earnings per share of $2.26 against a consensus estimate of $1.78, representing a positive surprise of $0.48, or approximately 27%, according to company earnings reports. The prior quarter saw EPS of $1.89 versus the $1.66 estimate, a $0.23 upside beat. Earlier, the company reported $1.78 per share against a $1.52 estimate, beating by $0.26, per analyst estimates. The upcoming quarter carries a consensus estimate of $1.66 per share. Across the three most recently completed quarters, RTX has beaten estimates by an average of $0.32 per share, underscoring management's ability to deliver results above Street expectations. This earnings beat cadence supports the premium valuation investors have assigned to the stock, though forward growth rates remain a key variable for sustaining current multiples.

Wall Street Analyst Ratings for RTX

Wall Street consensus on RTX Corporation leans constructive, with the majority of recent analyst actions maintaining favorable ratings, per Wall Street analyst reports. Barclays reiterated its Overweight rating on October 21, 2026, while TD Cowen maintained a Buy rating on October 9, 2026, both signaling continued bullish conviction on the stock's trajectory. RBC Capital reaffirmed its Outperform rating on October 15, 2026, adding another supportive voice. On the more cautious side, UBS maintained a Neutral stance on October 21, 2026, and Bernstein held its Market Perform rating on October 15, 2026, according to SID consensus data. Notably, none of the five most recent analyst actions involved a rating change, suggesting broad comfort with existing investment theses. Of the five tracked ratings, three carry bullish designations while two remain neutral, resulting in a skew toward positive sentiment without unanimous conviction among the analyst community covering RTX.
