RTX Reports Strong Q4, Updates 2025 Guidance

RTX Corp. reported a strong fourth-quarter performance for 2024, exceeding analyst expectations with adjusted earnings per share of $1.54, compared to the anticipated $1.38, and revenue reaching $21.62 billion, above the forecasted $20.54 billion. The company saw significant growth across its segments, with Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon showing sales increases of 6%, 18%, and 4%, respectively. Successful cost management and strong demand for its products, despite supply chain and regulatory challenges, contributed to its robust results. RTX's outlook for 2025 includes a projected revenue of $83 to $84 billion and adjusted earnings per share between $6 to $6.15, aligning with market expectations. However, its full-year revenue guidance was slightly below analyst estimates, indicating a more modest growth projection compared to 2024. The results reflect RTX's strategic focus on innovation and defense capabilities amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions, reinforcing its competitive position in the aerospace and defense sectors.
