Is RTX’s Seven-Year SM-3 Deal Reshaping the Investment Case for RTX (RTX)?

Raytheon Technologies (RTX) has secured a seven-year framework agreement with the Pentagon for SM-3 Block IB and Block IIA interceptors, aiming to stabilize supply chains and support missile defense procurement. This deal enhances the visibility of RTX's defense manufacturing workload, though the company's investment narrative still hinges on performance at Pratt & Whitney and sensitivity to government spending. While RTX's forecasts project significant revenue and earnings growth, fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community suggest a modest upside to its current price.
