Raytheon and United Technologies merged in 2020 and renamed the combination RTX in 2023, joining missile and defense electronics with commercial aerospace. Three businesses run underneath: Collins Aerospace for avionics and interiors, Pratt and Whitney for engines, and Raytheon for defense. That mix balances government contracts against commercial air traffic, so results track both defense budgets and airline flying hours. A 2023 powder-metal contamination issue in Pratt geared turbofan engines forced extended inspections and a large charge. Headquarters are in Arlington, Virginia.

RTX equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge RTX stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and RTX's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current RTX option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does RTX grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at RTX typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do RTX RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. RTX restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
