RTX Corporation's Q2 2025 Earnings: What to Expect

Valued at a market cap of $194.7 billion, RTX Corporation (RTX) is an aerospace and defense company headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. It provides systems and services for the commercial, military, and government customers. The company is expected to announce its fiscal Q2 earnings for 2025 before the market opens on Tuesday, Jul. 22.

Ahead of this event, analysts expect this aerospace and defense company to report a profit of $1.45 per share, up 2.8% from $1.41 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company has a promising trajectory of consistently beating Wall Street’s bottom-line estimates in each of the last four quarters. In Q1, RTX’s EPS of $1.47 outpaced the forecasted figure by 8.9%. 

 

For fiscal 2025, analysts expect RTX to report a profit of $5.97 per share, up 4.2% from $5.73 per share in fiscal 2024. Its EPS is expected to further grow 12.6% year-over-year to $6.72 in fiscal 2026.

RTX has rallied 44.7% over the past 52 weeks, considerably outpacing both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 13.4% uptick and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLI) 22.8% return over the same time frame.

On Apr. 22, RTX’s shares plunged 9.8% after its Q1 earnings release, despite delivering a better-than-expected performance. The company delivered revenue of $20.3 billion, up 5.2% from the year-ago quarter and 3% above the consensus estimates. Meanwhile, its adjusted EPS rose 9.7% year-over-year to $1.47, exceeding Wall Street expectations by 8.9%. 

The decline in stock price was primarily driven by its underwhelming fiscal 2025 guidance. RTX expects adjusted sales in the range of $83 billion to $84 billion, and projects adjusted EPS to range between $6 and $6.15. Lack of upward revisions to full-year profit targets, despite solid execution in Q1, might have lowered investor confidence. 

Wall Street analysts are moderately optimistic about RTX’s stock, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Among 24 analysts covering the stock, 15 recommend "Strong Buy," one suggests a "Moderate Buy,” and eight advise “Hold.” While the company is trading above its mean price target of $143.87, its Street-high price target of $162 suggests an 11.1% premium to its current price levels.
