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.
