RTX (RTX) News Today

RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX) remains supported by a strong defense backlog and recent capacity investments, helping explain the stock’s continued upward momentum. The company’s shares are trading near their 52-week high and above both their 50-day and 200-day moving averages, although the valuation—about 37 times earnings—suggests substantial growth is already reflected in the price.
