RTX Corporation (ISIN US75513E1010) raised its full-year 2026 outlook after reporting USD 25.0 billion in third-quarter sales on October 20, 2026. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 2.26, up 33 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to RTX.

Higher guidance sets the tone

The updated outlook puts adjusted sales at USD 97.0 billion to USD 97.5 billion, compared with the previous range of USD 95.0 billion to USD 96.0 billion. The midpoint therefore rose from USD 95.5 billion to USD 97.25 billion, an increase of USD 1.75 billion.

RTX also lifted full-year adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to USD 7.65-USD 7.75 from USD 7.10-USD 7.25. Free cash flow guidance increased to USD 9.0 billion-USD 9.2 billion from USD 8.5 billion-USD 8.75 billion, with the company citing operating performance and recovery under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

What does the quarter change?

The results show that growth extended across RTX's aerospace and defense businesses. Third-quarter sales increased 11 percent year over year on a reported basis and 12 percent organically, while adjusted net income rose 34 percent to USD 3.1 billion, according to RTX.

The earnings comparison was also material. Investing.com reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.26 against a USD 1.78 consensus estimate for the third quarter, a USD 0.48 difference, while sales of USD 24.97 billion exceeded its USD 24.09 billion forecast by USD 0.88 billion.

Next results date is set

RTX's next reporting date is January 26, 2027, according to TradingView. That event should provide the next formal update on fourth-quarter performance and the company's more detailed 2027 outlook.

Stock price and investor context

The guidance increase gives investors a concrete benchmark for assessing RTX's execution: the new sales midpoint is USD 1.75 billion above the previous midpoint, while the adjusted earnings-per-share midpoint rose from USD 7.175 to USD 7.70. The figures also leave the effects of the IEEPA recovery visible in the outlook, rather than presenting the increase as operating growth alone.

RTX's principal businesses are Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon. Together they serve commercial aviation, aircraft propulsion and defense markets, making the quarterly sales mix important for judging whether the higher outlook is broad-based.
