RTX Corporation stock falls as valuation and guidance meet

RTX Corporation (US75511L1035) traded at USD 200.85 on September 2, 2026, with a market cap of USD 270.70 billion and a daily move of minus 1.95 percent. GuruFocus put the stock at USD 201.07, about 30.6 percent above its GF Value estimate of USD 154.00.
Guidance stays the anchor
GuruFocus also cited RTX 2025 revenue of USD 88.6 billion, earnings of USD 6.73 billion and a backlog of USD 268 billion. Management guides for USD 92 billion to USD 93 billion of 2026 sales, adjusted EPS of USD 6.60 to USD 6.80 and free cash flow of USD 8.25 billion to USD 8.75 billion.
That sets up a clear comparison: the 2026 sales target implies growth of about 3.8 percent to 5.2 percent versus the 2025 revenue base named in the same report. For investors, the gap between the market price and the GF Value estimate is now as important as the top-line outlook.
Second quarter backdrop
Zacks said RTX reported 16 percent organic sales growth in the second quarter, driven by Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney. The same line of reporting also pointed to a broad aerospace and defense business that still carries a large multi-year backlog.
On September 3, 2026, GuruFocus tied the stock to a defense-policy headline and said the valuation premium remained around 30.6 percent. That makes the current read less about short-term trading noise and more about whether the 2026 guidance can absorb export and budget uncertainty.

Collins and Pratt
RTX's business mix still runs through Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon. That segment spread matters because the latest market read was built on a USD 268 billion backlog and a 2026 free-cash-flow target that leaves room for execution debates.
