What Could The Next 10 Years Bring? 

RTX has a consensus rating of "Buy" and a price target of $131.72 based on the ratings of 20 analysts. The price target implies more than 2% potential downside from the current stock price.

On April 22, the company announced its Q1 2025 earnings, posting net sales of $20.31 billion, surpassing the Street estimate of $19.79 billion, as reported by Benzinga. Adjusted EPS rose 10% to $1.47, beating the consensus of $1.35.

"The current environment is clearly very dynamic, but our company is well positioned to perform operationally and our teams remain focused on executing on our commitments and delivering our robust backlog," said CEO Chris Calio.

RTX reiterated its full-year 2025 outlook. It expects adjusted sales in the range of $83.0 billion to $84.0 billion, compared to the consensus estimate of $84.151 billion, and adjusted EPS of $6.00 to $6.15, compared to the consensus of $6.10.

Given the expected downside potential, growth-focused investors may not find RTX stock attractive. Conversely, the stock can be a good option for income-focused investors, who can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 2.01%.
