    ALEX: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex.

    JORDAN: And I'm Jordan. Today we're diving into RTX's third quarter 2026 results, and Alex, this one's got some big numbers.

    ALEX: It really does. But before we jump in, quick note — this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    JORDAN: Important stuff. Okay, let's get into it.

    ALEX: So RTX — the parent company of Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney, and Collins Aerospace — reported adjusted sales of $25 billion for Q3, up 12% organically. That's growth across all three segments, which is pretty rare to see all firing at once.

    JORDAN: And the EPS number really jumps out — $2.26, up 33% year-over-year. But here's the asterisk: $0.25 of that came from something called IEEPA cost recovery. That's basically tariff-related cost reimbursement, not pure operational performance.

    ALEX: Right, so strip that out and you're still looking at really solid underlying growth — about 43 cents of that EPS gain came from actual segment operating profit improvement.

    JORDAN: And free cash flow was strong too — $2.1 billion for the quarter. The company also raised full-year guidance across the board. New sales range is $97 to $97.5 billion, up from $95-96 billion. EPS guidance jumped to $7.65-$7.75, up from $7.10-$7.25.

    ALEX: Now let's talk backlog, because this is the headline for me. $340 billion — up 36% year-over-year, 18% just sequentially. That's a massive number.

    JORDAN: It's driven largely by defense. Raytheon booked almost $59 billion in awards this quarter alone — a book-to-bill ratio of 4.57 times. The big drivers were converting framework agreements into actual multi-year production contracts — about $23 billion for Tomahawk missiles and over $14 billion for AMRAAM.

    ALEX: And they followed that up with multi-year contracts for SM-6 and SM-3 IIA missiles too. Management described this whole munitions push as converting nearly a decade's worth of demand visibility into firm contracts.

    JORDAN: Which is great, but it comes with execution risk. CEO Christopher Calio talked about needing to ramp production 2x to 4x on some of these munitions. That means supply chain expansion, new suppliers — they added 150 new suppliers at Raytheon in 2025 alone — and working through bottlenecks like castings and solid rocket motors.

    ALEX: Yeah, one analyst actually asked about printed circuit boards and capacitors being hard to source because of the AI data center buildout competing for the same components. Calio acknowledged it's a real constraint they're actively managing with the Department of Defense.

    JORDAN: On the commercial side, let's talk Pratt & Whitney and the GTF engine story, because that's been the long-running saga for RTX.

    ALEX: Right, the GTF — Geared Turbofan — has had durability issues for years that required extra maintenance checks. The good news this quarter: MRO output on the PW1100 engine was up 37% year-over-year, and critically, the GTF Advantage — the next-gen version with double the time-on-wing performance — just entered service with United Airlines.

    JORDAN: That's a real milestone. And there's also a retrofit kit called Hot Section Plus coming next year that'll bring most of those durability benefits to the existing fleet without needing a whole new engine.

    ALEX: Commercial aftermarket overall grew 16% organically, which is impressive given that global air traffic — RPKs — actually declined slightly. CFO Neil Mitchill noted about 60% of the Pratt Canada business jet fleet hasn't even had its first shop visit yet, so there's a long runway there.

    JORDAN: Collins Aerospace also had a strong quarter — margins expanded 560 basis

    ALEX: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown! Today we're diving into RTX's second quarter 2026 results, and this one's got a lot of moving pieces — defense budgets, GTF engines, international demand, the works. Before we get into it though, quick disclaimer: this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    JORDAN: And Alex, this was a genuinely strong print. Adjusted sales of $24.7 billion, up 16% organically. Adjusted EPS of $1.89, up 21% year-over-year. Free cash flow of $2.9 billion. Pretty much across the board, beat and raise.

    ALEX: Right, and the backlog number really jumped out at me — $289 billion, a record, up 22% year-over-year. Raytheon alone booked nearly $20 billion in awards this quarter, giving them a book-to-bill ratio of 2.4. That's just a massive amount of future work stacking up.

    JORDAN: What's interesting is where that demand is coming from. Over $5 billion of it was GEM-T Patriot effectors, largely international, plus the first domestic GEM-T production order in 30 years. And get this — 48% of Raytheon's backlog is now international, up four points year-over-year. Europe alone contributed over $7 billion in the first half.

    ALEX: That NATO spending story is really showing up in the numbers. And CEO Chris Calio flagged something big on the domestic side too — the 2027 base budget request is around $1.1 trillion, roughly a 25% increase year-over-year, with real money earmarked for RTX priority programs like Tomahawk and LTAMDS.

    JORDAN: Let's talk guidance, because they raised it meaningfully. Full-year adjusted sales now expected between $95 and $96 billion, up from $92.5 to $93.5 billion previously. EPS guidance moved up to $7.10-$7.25, from $6.70-$6.90. And free cash flow guidance ticked up to $8.5-$8.75 billion.

    ALEX: Breaking that down by segment — Collins Aerospace sales were up 13% organically, driven by strength across commercial OE, aftermarket, and defense. Pratt & Whitney was up 17% organically, helped by a huge 25% jump in commercial aftermarket. And Raytheon posted 18% organic growth with margins expanding a full 100 basis points to 12.6%.

    JORDAN: That Pratt aftermarket story is worth unpacking a bit. Remember, last year's Q2 had a four-week work stoppage, so there's some catch-up dynamic at play. But the underlying trend is real — GTF engine AOGs, meaning aircraft grounded waiting on engines, are down 25% year-to-date. MRO output was up over 40%, turnaround times down 23%. They're clearly getting that fleet management situation under control.

    ALEX: And on the innovation side, a few milestones stood out to me. Pratt got certification for the GTF Advantage engine and started deliveries to Airbus — that's supposed to double time-on-wing performance. Collins got selected to deliver mission autonomy software for the Air Force's Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, which feels like a meaningful foothold in next-gen fighter development.

    JORDAN: The Q&A had some good color too. One analyst pushed on those defense "framework agreements" — basically pre-negotiated deals that haven't converted into firm, backlog-counted contracts yet. Calio was pretty candid that those conversations are ongoing and productive, but the real unlock is getting multi-year funding commitments so suppliers will actually invest in ramping capacity.

    ALEX: There was also a great exchange about Collins margins. CFO Neil Mitchill talked about a "big step up" expected in the second half — about 60% from volume drop-through, 40% from structural cost-cutting actions like consolidating operations and reducing overhead layers. Long-term, they're still eyeing that 19-20% margin range for C

    # Beta Finch Podcast Script: RTX Q1 2026 Earnings Breakdown

    **ALEX:** Welcome back to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex, and I'm here with my co-host Jordan to dive into RTX's first quarter 2026 results. This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Thanks Alex. RTX, the aerospace and defense giant formerly known as Raytheon Technologies, just delivered some impressive Q1 numbers. We're talking about a company that's riding high on both commercial aerospace recovery and defense spending surge. Should be a fascinating discussion.

    **ALEX:** Absolutely. Let's start with the headline numbers because they're pretty striking. RTX posted adjusted sales of $22.1 billion - that's up 10% organically year-over-year. Even more impressive, adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.78, up a hefty 21% from last year.

    **JORDAN:** And don't forget that record backlog, Alex. We're looking at $271 billion in backlog, up 25% year-over-year. That's a massive number that really speaks to the long-term demand they're seeing across both commercial and defense segments.

    **ALEX:** Right, and CEO Christopher Calio was pretty clear about what's driving this growth. They're seeing strength across all three channels - commercial OE up 6%, commercial aftermarket up 14%, and defense up 9%. But Jordan, what really caught my attention was how confident they were about raising guidance.

    **JORDAN:** Exactly. They bumped up their full-year adjusted sales outlook by $500 million to a range of $92.5 to $93.5 billion. And they raised EPS guidance by 10 cents on both ends - now expecting $6.70 to $6.90 for the year. That's management basically saying "we see sustained momentum ahead."

    **ALEX:** Let's break this down by segment because each business has its own story. Starting with Raytheon - their defense segment - this was really the star of the show, wasn't it?

    **JORDAN:** Oh absolutely. Raytheon posted $6.9 billion in sales, up 10%, with operating profit jumping $167 million year-over-year. But here's what's really exciting - they booked $6.6 billion in awards during the quarter. We're talking major contracts like over $600 million to supply the Netherlands with Patriot equipment.

    **ALEX:** And those framework agreements Calio mentioned - these are game-changers. Five landmark agreements with the Department of Defense for critical munitions including Tomahawk, AMRAAM, and Standard Missiles. Once finalized, these provide long-term visibility that lets RTX and their suppliers invest in ramping production well above existing rates.

    **JORDAN:** The geopolitical backdrop here is crucial, Alex. With ongoing conflicts and tensions globally, there's this urgent need for munitions depth and integrated air defense systems. RTX is perfectly positioned with their battle-tested systems that form the backbone of U.S. and allied defense architectures.

    **ALEX:** Now let's talk about their commercial aerospace business, particularly the GTF engine program at Pratt & Whitney. This has been a challenging story, but there are some positive developments.

    **JORDAN:** The fleet management plan remains on track, which is reassuring. AOGs - that's aircraft on ground - were down about 15% compared to year-end. The key driver was MRO output on the PW1100, which jumped 23% year-over-year. They're making real progress working through the powder metal issues that have plagued this program.

    **ALEX:** And they achieved a significant milestone with aircraft certification of the GTF Advantage. This incorporates a decade of learning and should deliver better performance and time on wing for customers. The "Hot Section Plus" retrofit package should provide 95% of the Advantage's durability benefits.

    **JORDAN:** Collins Aerospace also had a solid
