RTX Corporation, formed from the merger of Raytheon and United Technologies, has seen a significant rally since the breakup, with a total return of 13% including dividends. The company's market capitalization now exceeds $140 billion. This growth is attributed to strong earnings reports and positive guidance, which have driven the stock price up by approximately 12.2% since the last earnings report about a month ago.

RTX has secured several notable contracts recently, including a $1 billion contract to support the Standard Missile-3 program and a $581 million contract for the Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band system. These contracts highlight the company's strong position in the defense sector and its ability to secure significant government contracts.

Additionally, RTX's Raytheon division has delivered critical components such as the AN/TPY-2 radar to the U.S. Missile Defense Agency and the 250th RAM MK49 launcher to the U.S. Navy. These deliveries underscore RTX's commitment to advancing missile defense technologies and supporting national security initiatives.

RTX's recent expansion into the UAE with a gallium production project further solidifies its global footprint and strategic partnerships. The company's involvement in the PhantomStrike radar and its successful flight tests demonstrate its technological advancements and innovation in the defense industry.
