RTX Corporation

Read together, the numbers and filings show a company growing revenue and converting earnings into cash, with the main open questions tied to government dependence and document readability. Revenue reached $88.6 billion in 2025, up 9.7% from 2024, and operating income rose to $9.3 billion. The Beneish M-Score of -2.384 is below the -1.78 threshold and is labeled not in the elevated zone, so this earnings-manipulation screen does not flag the company. The Altman Z″-Score of 2.16 falls in the grey zone, between 1.10 and 2.60. That is a middle band in this bankruptcy-risk screen, not a clear safe or distress signal, and with liabilities of $103.94 billion against assets of $171.08 billion, it is a band worth watching. The Piotroski F-Score is 7 of 7 computable signals, meaning all seven scored tests that could be computed were passed. The operating cash flow to net income ratio of 1.57 means 2025 operating cash flow was about 1.57 times reported net income, indicating reported profit is backed by cash. The Fog Index of 17.55 falls in the 14 to 18 band labeled hard to read, so the MD&A requires careful reading. The 10-Q excerpt refers legal proceedings to Note 15 and states no material developments, while Note 17 is cited as the commitments and contingencies disclosure. Readers may want to look at those notes directly, along with the Item 1A discussion of defense spending and DoW appropriations, because the excerpt provided does not describe the underlying matters. The company made no share repurchases in the first quarter of 2026 and reported $615 million remaining under its $11 billion program authorized October 21, 2023.

Catalyst.Per the annual results, revenue reached $88.6 billion in 2025, up from $80.74 billion in 2024, and operating income rose to $9.3 billion from $6.54 billion. Net income climbed to $6.73 billion from $4.77 billion. The 10-Q excerpt on file, covering the quarter ended March 31, 2026, contains legal-proceedings cross-references, share repurchase tables, and exhibit lists rather than segment or product-level MD&A discussion, so the specific operating drivers behind this growth cannot be identified from the text provided.

Hidden risk.The Item 1A risk factors state that U.S. government sales constitute a significant portion of consolidated sales, largely from defense-related programs with the Department of War (DoW), so budget decisions, appropriations, government shutdowns, and continuing resolutions could affect results. The 10-Q says there are no material changes from those 10-K factors, so the risk remains in place. Liabilities rose to $103.94 billion in 2025 from $100.9 billion in 2024, while equity rose to $65.25 billion from $60.16 billion. A casual reader may focus on profit growth and miss how heavily the business depends on one customer's budget process.
