RTX Corporation (ISIN US75511L1035) stock is trading close to its recent high, with a last closing price of 202.13 USD on the New York Stock Exchange as of September 3, 2026, according to MarketScreener data. This level reflects a year to date gain of 10.21% and comes as subsidiary Pratt & Whitney announces new investment in a precision components facility in Poland, underlining the group’s expansion of its aerospace manufacturing footprint.
Polish plant investment supports aerospace growth
According to a MarketScreener report, Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of RTX, is investing 25 million USD in a new precision components plant in Poland, with the news published on September 4, 2026. The facility is intended to produce high precision parts for aircraft engines, reinforcing RTX’s position in commercial and military aviation supply chains in Europe.
The same MarketScreener overview shows RTX’s last closing share price at 202.13 USD on September 3, 2026, up 0.67% over the preceding session and down 4.69% over the past five trading days, while still up 10.21% since January 1, 2026. This quantified pattern illustrates how the stock has given back some short term gains but remains clearly ahead on a year to date basis.
Backlog and valuation put defense focus in perspective
A wider defense context is highlighted by an analysis on 24/7 Wall St dated September 4, 2026, which notes that RTX has doubled its munitions output and is working through a backlog of about 289 billion USD in defense and aerospace orders. The article stresses that this backlog depends heavily on secure access to key minerals and components, some of which face export restrictions from China, adding a strategic supply chain risk dimension for investors.
In terms of share performance, the same piece points out that RTX is up 30% over the past twelve months and 11% year to date, while having slipped 7% in the last month to around 202.13 USD. This quantified comparison between one year, year to date and one month performance underscores how the stock’s longer term trend remains positive even as short term volatility increases with geopolitical headlines and raw material constraints.
Valuation concerns are addressed in a separate assessment by GuruFocus dated September 4, 2026, which states that RTX is trading at 202.13 USD per share compared with a proprietary GF Value estimate of 154.02 USD. On this metric, the stock is about 31.2% above the indicated intrinsic value, leading the service to describe RTX as modestly to clearly overvalued based on its model. For investors, this means that strong backlog and expansion plans are already significantly reflected in the current price level.
