Growth numbers at RTX pull in one direction while capital efficiency pulls hard in the other. EPS grew 39.7% against a sector median of -3.2%, and FCF growth of 151.6% dwarfs the median 1.0% — yet ROIC sits 8.2%, some -55% below the sector median of 18.0%, and ROE of 10.7% trails the median 33.8% by -68%. The F-Score of 7/9 reflects solid profitability but flags a weaker efficiency reading, and the composite of 48/100 against the sector median captures that split. Valuation sits near the middle: P/B of 4.6× is -43% below the sector median 8.0×, though the forward PEG reads as stretched. Consensus and the realized three-year EPS CAGR of {{value:eps_cagr_3y}} are broadly aligned — a less common outcome — and the beat rate over eight quarters has been strong, with the last report coming in at 13.9% ahead of estimates.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When RTX reports on 2026-10-19, track whether the EPS trajectory that ran 1324% above the sector median holds, or whether it normalizes. Also check free cash flow growth, which currently sits at 156.9× the sector median — a figure that warrants scrutiny for sustainability.
RTX's ROIC sits 55% below the sector median of 18.0%, a gap worth understanding in context. On SEC EDGAR, open the most recent 10-K and read management's discussion of capital allocation and the risk factors tied to defense contract cycles and pension obligations.
From the alphabetical same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies yourself and line up one metric — P/B, ROIC, or ROE. RTX carries a P/B 43% below the sector median alongside an ROE 68% below it, so placing those figures beside peers you select will clarify whether the valuation gap reflects a sector-wide pattern or something specific to RTX.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
A description of what the market and analysts expect. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. Analyst forecasts run systematically optimistic over long horizons — read them with that discount.
