RTX is trading higher following the release of its third-quarter 2026 results, which featured a significant earnings beat of $0.48 per share and revenue of $24.97 billion, surpassing expectations by $860 million.
The company also bolstered investor confidence by raising its full-year 2026 outlook for adjusted sales, earnings, and free cash flow. This positive momentum is further supported by recent defense activity, including a $215 million U.S. Army contract awarded to the Javelin Joint Venture between RTX and Lockheed Martin
