what happened
According to TradingView, citing RTX's press release, the company now expects 2026 sales of $97.0–$97.5 billion, adjusted EPS of $7.65–$7.75 and free cash flow of $9.0–$9.2 billion.
Third-quarter sales rose 11% to $25.0 billion, and adjusted EPS reached $2.26, up 33% year on year. The company said the result included $0.25 per share from an IEEPA recovery, a one-time benefit. Backlog reached a record $340 billion.
why it matters
A guidance increase with double-digit growth across aerospace and defense suggests demand is holding up. Investors will watch whether new orders and margin gains continue without one-time items, and whether the backlog turns into higher free cash flow. Stronger cash generation would also give more room for dividends and share buybacks.
