RTX keeps proving the backlog is the real story 🚀
RTX kicked off 2026 with a clean beat: $22.1B in revenue, $1.78 in adjusted EPS, and $1.3B in free cash flow, while backlog pushed to a record $271B. That’s the kind of setup institutions like to see—strong aerospace aftermarket demand, steady defense program execution, and management confident enough to raise full-year guidance despite tariff pressure.
The tape is reading this as durable order-flow, not a one-quarter pop. When backlog keeps climbing and guidance moves higher, the market starts pricing in cleaner visibility and stronger follow-through into the next prints.
