RTX Corporation stock heads into Baird conference with higher targets

RTX Corporation is heading into a scheduled investor appearance after reporting strong third-quarter growth and raising its full-year outlook. A report by AD HOC NEWS said Chief Financial Officer Neil Mitchill is due to speak at the Baird 2026 Global Industrial Conference on Tuesday, November 10, at 10:05 a.m. Eastern Time.

Conference puts raised targets to test

The presentation follows RTX's third-quarter results released on October 20. The company reported sales of 25.0 billion US dollars, adjusted earnings per share of 2.26 US dollars and a backlog of 340 billion US dollars across commercial and defense programs.

RTX lifted its 2026 adjusted sales outlook to 97.0 billion to 97.5 billion US dollars from 95.0 billion to 96.0 billion US dollars previously. Adjusted earnings-per-share guidance increased to 7.65 to 7.75 US dollars from 7.10 to 7.25 US dollars, while the free-cash-flow forecast moved to 9.0 billion to 9.2 billion US dollars from 8.50 billion to 8.75 billion US dollars.

Segment trends remain uneven

Since the previous report, the segment detail has sharpened the investor picture. Collins Aerospace sales increased 10 percent and adjusted operating profit rose 50 percent to 1.788 billion US dollars. Raytheon sales advanced 14 percent and adjusted operating profit increased 32 percent to 1.134 billion US dollars.

Pratt & Whitney sales grew 10 percent, driven mainly by commercial aftermarket demand. Reported operating profit fell 19 percent to 608 million US dollars after a 363 million US dollar charge related to a customer bankruptcy, while adjusted operating profit increased 29 percent to 968 million US dollars. The distinction is relevant when investors assess recurring execution against the upgraded outlook.

What investors will watch next

Management commentary will put delivery capacity, program demand and cost execution under scrutiny. RTX Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Chris Calio said the company was focused on increasing output, improving its cost structure and investing in new technologies.

RTX stock traded at 173.88 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:10 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026.
