RTX secured a five-year contract valued at up to USD 6.30 billion on October 8, 2026, while RTX Corporation stock was trading at EUR 166.23 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 11:04 a.m. CEST, 0.01 percent below the Xetra close of EUR 166.25 on October 9, 2026.

Three contracts build the defense case

On September 28, 2026, Raytheon won an AMRAAM production contract valued at up to USD 20.70 billion, according to FinanzNachrichten. On October 1, 2026, Raytheon secured a further five-year SM-6 contract valued at up to USD 24.40 billion, also with two option years, the same outlet reported.

The October 8 award adds a third large missile program to that sequence. Its production will primarily take place in Tucson, Arizona, and Huntsville, Alabama, giving RTX a direct manufacturing link to the contract rather than only a design role.

What does the contract change?

The commercial scale is easier to assess against RTX's latest operating figures. In the second quarter of 2026, reported revenue was USD 24.71 billion, up 14.50 percent from the prior-year quarter, while GAAP diluted earnings per share were USD 1.57. The finance statement also shows net income of USD 2.25 billion for that period.

Management's adjusted second-quarter sales were USD 24.70 billion, up 16.00 percent organically, and adjusted earnings per share reached USD 1.89, up 21.00 percent year over year, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript of the July 23, 2026 earnings call. The updated full-year adjusted sales outlook is USD 95.00 billion to USD 96.00 billion, versus USD 92.50 billion to USD 93.50 billion previously.

Results date sets the next test

RTX announced on September 29, 2026, that it will publish third-quarter 2026 results on October 20, 2026, before the stock market opens. The company said its conference call will begin at 8:30 a.m. ET.

For investors, the contract pipeline and the next report now meet at a measurable point: second-quarter revenue was USD 24.71 billion, while the latest missile awards reached a combined maximum value of USD 51.40 billion across the September 28, October 1 and October 8 announcements.
