Is RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX) a buy in 2026?

Record $271B backlog meets five DoD munitions framework deals and a GTF fleet finally on the mend. Cash flow inflects.
Where RTX is headed
By the back half of 2027, RTX should look meaningfully different from the company that spent 2023 and 2024 apologizing for powdered-metal contamination in Pratt & Whitney's geared turbofan. The GTF accelerated inspection program winds down through 2026, AOG counts at customers like Lufthansa, JetBlue and IndiGo come back to earth, and the aftermarket finally gets to be what it was always supposed to be at this point in the narrowbody cycle: a printing press. Collins is already there. Raytheon, after years of being the boring sibling, is the segment that changes the company.
