RTX Corp Shares Hold Near 203 as Backlog Hits $268B and Buy Signal Persists

The company participated in the recently concluded Citi Global Industrial Tech and Mobility Conference, where it presented key financial and operating metrics: by the end of 2025, sales reached $88.0 billion, while the total backlog amounted to $268.0 billion, up 23.0% from 2024, indicating a significant increase in active contracts, including international agreements, which accounted for more than 30.0% of the total and rose by 4.0% over two years. The partnership with the US Department of Defense currently includes five active agreements to expand munitions production, while the Pratt & Whitney GTF turbofan engine program has nearly tripled in size to 8.0 thousand units.

These figures reflect steady demand for the corporation’s products in both the commercial aviation and defense segments. As part of its strategy to maintain industry leadership, management plans to allocate $10.0 billion to engineering development and capital expenditures, which should increase production capacity, accelerate the adoption of new technologies, and strengthen positions in key markets. It is worth noting that RTX Corp.’s positive momentum also supports the financial sector, stimulates demand for high-tech materials and services, improves supply chains, and accelerates economic recovery in the regions where it operates.

The fourth-quarter financial report was published earlier this month: according to the document, revenue increased from $22.48 billion to $24.20 billion versus $21.62 billion a year earlier, while earnings per share (EPS) declined from $1.70 to $1.55 versus $1.54, respectively. The next dividend payment is scheduled for March 19 and will amount to $0.68 per share, corresponding to a 1.32% yield, slightly above the industry average of 1.06%.
