    RTX Corporation (RTX) drew fresh investor attention after its third quarter 2026 earnings update, which showed higher adjusted earnings, stronger revenue, and a management focus on record backlogs tied to commercial aerospace and defense demand.

    RTX shares have climbed in recent weeks, with a 7.62% 1 month share price return and a 6.70% year to date share price gain. The 13.59% 1 year total shareholder return and very large 3 year total shareholder return of about 16x suggest momentum has been building over a longer horizon, despite a 7.16% 3 month share price decline.

    Scan aerospace and defense momentum alongside RTX by reviewing the hand picked 39 power grid technology and infrastructure stocks that could benefit from long cycle infrastructure and security spending themes.

    RTX now trades at a discount to both analyst targets and some intrinsic estimates after a sharp post earnings move. Is that a genuine mispricing, or a sober read on execution and backlog risk?

    Most Popular Narrative: 13% Undervalued

    RTX closed at $199.80, while the most followed narrative pegs fair value around $228.83. As a result, the gap between backlog driven expectations and the current price has become a focal point for many investors.

    RTX’s record backlog of US$289b, supported by a Raytheon rolling 12 month book to bill of 1.77 and US$19.9b of quarterly awards for systems such as Patriot, AMRAAM, AIM 9X and LTAMDS, points to multi year conversion of contracted demand into revenue and segment operating profit that some investors may not yet fully reflect in valuations.

    See why 225 investors see RTX as 13% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $228.83 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, the RTX narrative could be knocked off course if large 2026 capital outlays fail to lift capacity or if defense budgets shift away from key hardware programs.
