RTX Corporation has been initiated with a buy rating due to strong defense sector demand and an expanding backlog, supported by geopolitical tensions and increased Tomahawk missile orders. The company reported a 9% year-over-year sales increase and a 21% rise in adjusted earnings per share for Q1, with backlog growth outpacing revenue, indicating sustained demand.
