The aerospace and defense company now projects adjusted sales in the range of $95 billion to $96 billion, up from its earlier estimates of $92.5 billion to $93.5 billion. The forecast lift came during the second quarter earnings call on July 23, where RTX beat Wall Street’s estimates for both revenue and profit. During the quarter, RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX)’s Pratt & Whitney business said it was investing over $100 million across three MRO sites in Texas, Florida, and Arkansas. Rising demand for the company’s air and missile defense systems, like Patriot, Standard, and AMRAAM missiles, drove sales growth in its defense business in Q2. Organic revenue growth during the first half was 13%, while it is expected to be around 5% at the midpoint of RTX’s range.
