Guidance moves higher
The higher outlook followed double-digit growth across the aerospace and defense portfolio. Third-quarter sales increased 11 percent from USD 22.478 billion in the third quarter of 2025, while adjusted earnings per share rose to USD 2.26 from USD 1.70, a 33 percent increase.
RTX also raised its adjusted earnings-per-share outlook to USD 7.65-USD 7.75 from USD 7.10-USD 7.25. Its free cash flow forecast moved to USD 9.0 billion-USD 9.2 billion from USD 8.50 billion-USD 8.75 billion. The changes give investors a clearer measure of how much of the improved demand is reaching cash generation.
What does the mix show?
Raytheon supplied the strongest segment growth in the third quarter of 2026, with sales of USD 8.031 billion, up 14 percent from USD 7.045 billion a year earlier. Reported operating profit rose 32 percent to USD 1.133 billion. Pratt & Whitney sales increased 10 percent to USD 9.231 billion, but reported operating profit fell 19 percent to USD 608 million because of a USD 363 million customer-bankruptcy charge.
RTX ended the third quarter of 2026 with a USD 340 billion backlog, including USD 176 billion from commercial programs and USD 164 billion from defense programs. The company also reported USD 2.868 billion in operating cash flow, down 38 percent from USD 4.639 billion in the third quarter of 2025, making cash conversion an important counterweight to the stronger profit outlook.
