Raytheon Lands $1.28B in New Missile Defense and Army Contracts
RTX sits 48% above its 52-week low of $150.613.
Summary
RTX's Raytheon unit secured two major defense contracts totaling $1.28 billion. A $745.4 million noncompetitive Missile Defense Agency award covers SM-3 Block IIA interceptor production for the U.S. and Japan through 2031. A separate $536 million Army modification for TOW missile production and engineering services brings that contract's total to $750.8 million, with work through 2027. These awards add to a string of recent Raytheon wins, including a $1.1 billion Navy contract in June and an expanded NATO Amraam agreement in July. The contracts reinforce the defense segment's momentum following RTX's raised 2026 outlook in July, driven by strong defense demand.
