RTX Q1 Preview: Don't Expect Fireworks (Just Yet)

  • RTX Corp. is expected to continue its positive earnings streak, but markets will scrutinize its backlog amidst tariff pressures. The company's Commercial business faces growth challenges due to lingering issues with its P&W GTF engines, possibly impacting its dominant share in the narrow-body aircraft market. RTX's Defense segment shows robust growth, driven by strong contract wins, particularly in the Patriot and F135 programs.
