Jemekk Hedge Fund Gerard Ferguson & Rick Ummat | “RTX Corporation (RTX) – formerly known as Raytheon Technologies Corporation, is a major American multinational aerospace and defense company headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. It is one of the largest aerospace and defense manufacturers globally, serving commercial, military, and government customers across more than 180 countries. As global air travel continues recovering toward pre-pandemic levels, demand for new aircraft and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services is increasing. Commercial aftermarket sales—parts, service contracts, and support—have been a strong driver of organic growth due to rising airline utilization. RTX's Raytheon segment benefits from rising defense budgets in the U.S. and allied countries, with growth underpinned by demand for integrated air and missile defense systems (e.g., Patriot), counter-drone technologies, and other advanced defense programs driven by geopolitical tensions. International orders are a growing portion of the defense backlog. The entire Defense Prime complex is currently re-rating as countries around the world commit to higher defense spending, and we like RTX for its three distinct business segments—Pratt & Whitney (engines), Collins Aerospace (avionics and systems), and Raytheon (defense systems)—which provide balanced exposure across commercial and government markets. While valuation has increased, we believe the defensive narrative is still early, allowing for a reasonable balance between risk and reward. BSD Analysis: RTX is a defense and aerospace heavyweight navigating through operational turbulence with long-term demand firmly on its side. Geopolitical realities are driving sustained increases in defense spending globally. Commercial aerospace recovery adds a second engine of growth. Supply chain issues hurt margins, but they are fixable over time. Investors fixate on near-term execution misses. The backlog says demand isn't going anywhere. This is strategic infrastructure, not a trade.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
