RTX Corporation (US75511L1035) stock traded at USD 200.75 on September 7, 2026, after MarketBeat cited a July 23 earnings report that showed USD 1.89 EPS and USD 24.71 billion in revenue. The same update puts the shares near the 52-week high of USD 226.88 and above the 52-week low of USD 150.61.

July 23 earnings still shape trading

The earnings beat gave investors three hard numbers to work with: EPS of USD 1.89 versus USD 1.66 expected, revenue up 14.5 percent year over year, and net margin of 8.28 percent. RTX also guided fiscal 2026 EPS to 7.100 to 7.250, while analysts in the same source put the current-year estimate at 7.22.

That mix matters more than a single day move. The stock's market capitalization was listed at USD 270.56 billion, and the price-to-earnings ratio stood at 35.34, a valuation that keeps the defense and aerospace name sensitive to both execution and guidance.

Analysts stay constructive

MarketBeat also listed several fresh analyst targets, including USD 240 from Morgan Stanley and Robert W. Baird, USD 232 from Sanford C. Bernstein, USD 230 from Wells Fargo and USD 245 from Argus. The same update showed a consensus price target of USD 228.59 and a consensus rating of Moderate Buy.

The comparison is straightforward: RTX's open at USD 200.75 sat below the USD 228.59 consensus target, leaving the stock about 13.9 percent under that average view. For investors, the gap is now as important as the July beat.

Defense and engine mix

RTX's commercial aerospace businesses include Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace, while the group also serves military and government customers worldwide, according to MarketBeat. That mix explains why the July quarter's revenue strength and the 7.100 to 7.250 EPS guide remain central to the stock narrative.

Stock near its range

RTX stock closed the latest cited session at USD 200.75 on September 7, 2026, with a market cap of USD 270.56 billion and a 52-week range of USD 150.61 to USD 226.88. The shares are trading below the recent peak but still well above the low for the past year.
