RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX) is set to report third-quarter 2026 earnings before the market opens on October 20. RTX makes aircraft engines, aerospace systems and defense equipment. Its results reflect demand from airlines, aircraft makers and government customers. Wall Street estimates earnings of $1.78 per share and revenue of approximately $24.10 billion.

Another estimate puts revenue at $24.01 billion, up 6.8% from a year earlier, while keeping earnings at $1.78 per share, as highlighted by Zacks Investment Research. A separate Zacks preview uses lower estimates of $23.84 billion in revenue and $1.76 per share in earnings. These differences show that published forecasts vary ahead of the report.

RTX beat earnings estimates last quarter and raised its full-year guidance, as highlighted by 24/7 Wall Street. Guidance is management’s forecast for future results. The publisher says investors have already priced in another increase, so a higher forecast may not surprise the market.

Demand for aircraft maintenance and replacement parts, higher aircraft production and defense orders could support results. Supply-chain challenges remain a risk. RTX has beaten consensus earnings estimates in each of the past four quarters, while its shares have risen 18.4% over the past year.

RTX trades at 24.44 times forward earnings, below the industry figure of 27.36 times. That measure compares its share price with expected annual profit per share. Its debt-to-equity ratio is 0.59, which compares debt with shareholders’ equity, while its current ratio of 1.01 indicates short-term assets are slightly above short-term liabilities.
