Company snapshot

RTX provides aerospace and defense systems, including aircraft engines, avionics, cabin interiors, threat detection, and aftermarket service solutions.

The company generates revenue through the sale of advanced aerospace and defense products, as well as recurring aftermarket and service contracts across three core segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon.

Serves commercial airlines, aircraft manufacturers, military branches, government agencies, and international defense customers.

RTX Corporation is a global leader in aerospace and defense, operating at scale with approximately 185,000 employees and a diversified portfolio of technologies. The company leverages its broad capabilities across commercial and military markets, offering integrated solutions that support mission-critical operations worldwide.

Foolish take

Given that RTX's market cap weighting in the S&P 500 is just 0.35%, and Contravisory Investment Management's latest purchase of stock took its RTX holding to 1.9% of its reportable assets, the acquisition is significant. In addition, the acquisition increased Contravisory's share count to just over 66,000 shares, compared to just over 4,000 shares previously.

It's a vote of confidence in RTX's potential to avoid the worst of the possible impacts of tariffs on profitability this year. As a reminder, RTX shocked the market back in April when management outlined a potential hit from tariffs of $850 million in 2025. It gets worse: that $850 million estimate includes the positive impact of mitigations, and the impact on cash flow could be even larger, given that it would take longer to receive duty drawback cash for RTX.

However, since April, the trade conflict and ongoing tariff actions have followed a pattern of de-escalation and escalation, illustrating a fluidity in negotiating deals that will ultimately be favorable to all parties. As such, the impact on RTX may not be as severe as many fear.

In addition, President Donald Trump's proposed defense budget of $1.01 trillion for 2026, coming on top of $895 million defense budget for 2025, is a plus for RTX's military business, not least as the budget emphasizes areas of RTX strength like missile defense, tactical missiles, and space-based capability.
