reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/rtx-profit-jumps-20-aviation-strength-military-demand-2024-04-23/
Quick Glance: RTX Exceeds Expectations Due to Strong Demand and Profits
- RTX, a key player in the aerospace and defense industry, outperformed earnings expectations in the first quarter. This was facilitated by high demand for missile defense systems and strength in the commercial aftermarket business.
- Pratt and Whitney, a subsidiary of RTX, saw a 23% increase in sales due to an ongoing inspection to check potentially flawed components in their geared turbofan engines. Despite new engine deliveries, Pratt's operating profit declined as new engines are often discounted to generate profits through aftermarket sales over the engine's lifecycle.
- Operating profit of RTX's defense sector, Raytheon, surged by 74%. This growth was supported by the popular Patriot defense system and profits from divesting the cybersecurity, intelligence, and services business. In the quarter, Raytheon secured a $1.2 billion order for German Patriot air and missile defense systems.
- The rising international demand for U.S. weaponry is a consequence of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Chinese aggressions, and conflicts in the Middle East. Operating profits in Raytheon's defense sector increased by 74%, backed by the sought-after Patriot defense system and gains from selling the cybersecurity, intelligence, and services business.

Is Elon Musk's robotaxi dream plunging Tesla into chaos and jeopardizing its vision of a cheap EV?
@EdLudlow reports www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-04-21/tesla-tsla-cybertruck-recall-is-latest-setback-to-stock-s-rough-2024
Quick Glance: Tesla Cybertruck Recall and Stock Decline 2024
- Elon Musk's underlings at Tesla Inc. are accustomed to chaos, but this year has been particularly turbulent. The stock price has plummeted, there has been confusion around product decisions and price cuts. Tesla's position in the Chinese EV market is under threat, and a meeting with India's Prime Minister for a planned investment announcement was abruptly called off.
- Tesla is expected to report a significant drop in operating profit and its first revenue decline in four years. Musk has ordered massive layoffs and is staking the company's future on a self-driving vehicle concept called the robotaxi. Many employees are unsettled by the changes the CEO wants to implement.
- Musk has been discussing the concept of an autonomous taxi service for at least eight years, but Tesla has not yet built the infrastructure required for it. The focus is now on the robotaxi instead of a cheaper mass-market vehicle that many investors deem crucial. Key managers have left the company, and analysts are concerned about Tesla's strategy.
- Musk has announced that more than 10% of the workforce will be laid off. Transitioning to the robotaxi service is risky, as regulation at the state and local level can be challenging. Nevertheless, Musk is betting on Tesla making robotaxis a reality by promoting FSD and cutting prices. Some of the Tesla layoffs were poorly organized and perceived as humiliating.
