RTX Hits 52-Week High on Q2 Beat, $1.3B Navy Deal, and Patriot Production Talks
RTX sits 43% above its 52-week low of $150.613.
Summary
RTX shares surged to a 52-week high following stronger-than-expected Q2 results and a wave of analyst price-target hikes to $240–$250. Pratt & Whitney secured a ~$1.3B undefinitized IDIQ contract from the U.S. Navy for F135 engine spare parts, supporting F-35 fleets through 2030. Separately, RTX is positioned to accelerate Patriot PAC-3 interceptor production if the Pentagon approves a Ukrainian license, a topic discussed with President Zelenskyy after his White House visit. The combination of earnings momentum, a major defense contract, and potential new production orders reinforces the bullish outlook. Watch for the Pentagon's decision on the Ukraine license, which could unlock a long-term production ramp.
