Raytheon Wins $1.8B Navy Radar Contract Modification
RTX sits 36% above its 52-week low of $143.56.
Summary
RTX's Raytheon unit secured a $1.81 billion modification to an existing U.S. Navy contract for AN/SPY6(V) radar hardware production. The work extends through July 2031, with options potentially pushing completion to October 2031. This follows a series of recent defense wins for Raytheon, including a $1.1B AIM-9X missile contract in June and a NATO Amraam expansion agreement earlier this month. The modification adds to RTX's already strong defense backlog and provides long-term revenue visibility. The fixed-price incentive structure carries some execution risk, but the size and duration of the award are material positives.

The 52-week trading range was $143.56 to $214.50. This news item was assessed with positive market sentiment and an importance score of 8 out of 10. Source: Dow Jones Newswires.
