Interpretive context generated from the platform’s current data sources.
RTX Corporation shares closed at $195.34, reflecting a single-day decline of 3.08% per SID market data. The stock has fallen 11.26% over the past month, pulling it well below its 50-day moving average of $208.38 and slipping beneath its 200-day moving average of $197.25. Despite the recent selloff, RTX maintains a positive 12-month return of 13.14% and a modest three-month gain of 7.31%, according to Massive/Polygon data. The 14-day RSI has dropped to 21.9, placing the stock firmly in oversold territory and suggesting intense near-term selling pressure. RTX's beta of 0.435 indicates significantly lower volatility than the broader market, making the current drawdown notable relative to its historical trading behavior. Average daily volume stands at approximately 4.67 million shares, and the company carries a market capitalization of roughly $237.5 billion, positioning it among the largest defense and aerospace contractors globally.
RTX Corporation currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 36.07, a premium valuation relative to the broader Industrials sector, according to SID market data. The PEG ratio stands at 5.03, suggesting that the stock's earnings growth rate does not fully support its elevated P/E multiple at current levels. The price-to-book ratio registers at 3.69, reflecting a moderate premium over the company's net asset value per SEC filings. RTX offers a dividend yield of approximately 1.50%, providing a modest income component for shareholders. With a market capitalization of $237.5 billion, RTX is priced as a mega-cap industrial conglomerate. The combination of a high PEG ratio and above-average P/E indicates the market has priced in substantial future earnings expansion, though the recent pullback below the 200-day moving average at $197.25 has begun narrowing the gap between price and fundamental metrics.
RTX Corporation's composite smart money score sits at 49 out of 100, generating a neutral signal per SID market data. Institutional ownership scores a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating robust participation from major asset managers and pension funds, according to 13F institutional filings. However, insider activity tells a more cautious story, scoring just 3.5 out of 25. Over the past 90 days, SEC Form 4 filings reveal nine insider transactions comprising two purchases and seven sales, reflecting a clear net-selling pattern among corporate executives and directors. Congressional trading activity scores 12 out of 25, suggesting moderate engagement from lawmakers with disclosed positions. Dark pool activity registers at 8.5 out of 25, indicating relatively limited off-exchange institutional block trading. The divergence between the maximum institutional score and the low insider score creates a mixed signal profile, with professional money managers maintaining conviction while company insiders have reduced their personal exposure to RTX shares in recent months.
RTX Corporation has demonstrated a consistent pattern of exceeding analyst expectations in its most recent reported quarters. In the latest completed quarter, RTX posted earnings per share of $1.89 against a consensus estimate of $1.66, representing a positive surprise of $0.23, or approximately 13.9%, according to company earnings reports. The prior quarter similarly beat expectations, delivering $1.78 per share versus the $1.52 estimate, a $0.26 upside surprise of roughly 17.1%. Looking ahead, analysts project earnings of $1.66 per share for the upcoming reporting period and $1.848 for the following quarter, per analyst estimates. The consecutive beats suggest RTX's operational execution and revenue trajectory have consistently outpaced Wall Street models. With reporting dates scheduled for July and early 2026, investors will monitor whether the defense contractor can sustain its beat-and-raise cadence amid its current premium valuation multiple.
Wall Street coverage of RTX Corporation reflects a moderately constructive consensus, per SID consensus data. The most recent rating from Bernstein, issued on August 3, 2026, reiterated a Market Perform stance, maintaining a neutral outlook. TD Cowen reaffirmed a Buy rating on July 27, while RBC Capital reiterated its Outperform call on July 24, according to Wall Street analyst reports. Susquehanna also maintained a Positive rating on the same date. Wells Fargo held its Equal-Weight position, representing a more measured view. Among the five most recent analyst actions, three firms — TD Cowen, RBC Capital, and Susquehanna — carry bullish-leaning ratings, while two firms maintain neutral positions. Notably, none of the recent coverage changes reflect downgrades, and all five ratings represent reiterations of prior stances, suggesting analyst conviction has remained stable through the recent 11.26% monthly drawdown. This stability indicates that the selloff has not materially altered the fundamental thesis among covering analysts.
