FAA Flags $100M Tariff Hit on Air Traffic Control Overhaul
RTX sits 24% above its 52-week low of $155.64.
Summary
The FAA expects about $100 million in tariff costs on its $12.5 billion air traffic control modernization plan, largely tied to radar purchases. RTX's Collins Aerospace is one of two suppliers moving radar production to U.S. facilities, with a $26.5 million investment in Largo, Florida. The telecom upgrade portion of the program has already jumped from $4.75 billion to $5.91 billion. This adds cost pressure to a major government program where RTX holds a $780 million radar contract, though the direct financial impact on RTX is not yet quantified.
At the time of this announcement, RTX was trading at $193.53 on NYSE in the Industrial Applications And Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $260.8B.
