RTX lifts FY26 sales, EPS and free cash flow outlook

Raytheon Technologies announced on Oct. 21 that its fiscal‑2026 sales guidance is now $97.0 billion to $97.5 billion, with adjusted earnings per share of $7.65 to $7.75 and free cash flow of $9.0 billion to $9.2 billion. The update follows third‑quarter results that showed an 11% increase in sales and adjusted EPS of $2.26. The company’s stock closed at $192.11, down 0.93% after the release.

The company expects higher earnings and cash generation than analysts had forecast, which could lift investor expectations for future profitability. The upgraded guidance may also support the stock price if the market prices in the stronger outlook.
