RTX earnings date and guidance
RTX’s next results are scheduled for October 20, 2026. For RTX, the key test is whether deliveries and cash confirm execution.
What has RTX guided for the year?
RTX offers a path to a 27% total return by October 2029, but that outcome hinges on GTF repairs and profitable defense delivery. July 2026 guidance calls for adjusted sales of $95,000–$96,000 million. It calls for adjusted EPS of $7.10–$7.25. The company’s free cash flow guidance is $8,500–$8,750 million. The Powder Metal Matter adds a $700 million cash impact in 2026.

Has RTX kept its past promises?
Financial delivery was strong: adjusted earnings per share beat management’s forecast. Operational delivery took longer. Calio identified roughly 30% growth in maintenance output as necessary to reduce grounded aircraft consistently. The business delivered 26% growth in 2025, then reported growth above 40% later. Maintenance, repair and overhaul is difficult because aircraft cannot earn revenue while engines are being repaired, and the work requires specialized parts, workers and certification.
What is RTX’s trend in revenue and profit?
Recent results explain that confidence. RTX earned adjusted earnings per share of $1.78 in Q1, against consensus of $1.51. In Q2, it earned $1.89 against $1.66. The company has beaten consensus in each of the eight quarters through Q2 2026.

What should I watch in RTX’s next results?
RTX’s next results are scheduled for October 20, 2026. Investors should compare sales with completed output and cash against the raised outlook. Bookings would confirm demand; deliveries and cash would confirm execution.
The bottleneck can arise at either end: parts can leave shops waiting, while limited shop capacity leaves engines waiting. RTX reported PW1100 groundings down 25% year to date in Q2. MRO output was up more than 40%, and turnaround time was down 23%.
