Contract accelerates production ramp as part of Department of War's Arsenal of Freedom TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, will accelerate production of AMRAAM® missiles to record-setting levels under the terms of a five-year multi-year contract with two option years valued up to $20.7 billion awarded as part of the Department of War's Arsenal of Freedom.

Defense stock RTX Corp (NYSE:RTX) pulled back after hitting a record high of $226.88 on Aug. 10.

RTX shares have declined 16%, with only 9%-10% of the drop attributable to treasury yield increases; broader pressures are at play. I maintain my buy rating and $244.18 price target, seeing 18% upside on next year's earnings and 29% on 2028 estimates. RTX's free cash flow is expected to grow 14% annually, with improving volumes offsetting margin compression and CapEx remaining stable at 3% of sales.

RTX Corporation is rated a measured Buy, targeting a 2-year price of $222.50, reflecting moderate growth and margin expansion. RTX's $289 billion backlog and improving operating margins, especially at Raytheon and Collins, underpin the investment thesis, but Pratt & Whitney remains a key risk. 2026 guidance calls for $95–96 billion in sales and $7.10–7.25 adjusted EPS, with free cash flow forecasted at $8.5–8.75 billion.

In the closing of the recent trading day, RTX (RTX) stood at $188.61, denoting a -1.86% move from the preceding trading day.
