RTX revenue rises 11.1% to $24.97 billion as profit climbs 34.7%

what happened

RTX Corp reported higher revenue and earnings for the 2026 quarter. Total net sales reached $24.97 billion compared with $22.48 billion a year earlier, while net income attributable to common shareowners rose to $2.58 billion from $1.92 billion. Diluted earnings per share climbed to $1.89 from $1.41. TradingView published this summary based on the company's 10-Q filing.

According to the filing, growth was broad-based, with Raytheon, Collins and Pratt & Whitney all contributing and organic growth near 11.6%. Commercial products and services gained on OEM deliveries and aftermarket work, while defense bookings increased on multi-year munitions and missile awards. Raytheon also won sizable contracts to scale output of Tomahawk, AMRAAM, SM-6 and SM-3.

Margins improved as tariff refunds, cost-mitigation steps, CORE initiatives and restructuring actions reduced expenses.

why it matters

For markets, the key questions are the durability of RTX's defense backlog and the trajectory of its margins. Long-term contracts and expanded production support revenue, while a growing aftermarket business in engines lowers reliance on cyclical deliveries. Investors are likely to watch whether profit growth holds once one-off items such as tariff refunds fade.
