RTX On Fire: What Is The Strategy That Is Driving Its Global Growth & Margin Expansion?

Raytheon Technologies Corporation (RTX) delivered robust second-quarter results in 2025, demonstrating strength across its diverse business segments amid a challenging operating environment. The company reported a 9% year-over-year organic sales increase, propelled by significant gains in its commercial aerospace and defense sectors. Notably, the commercial aftermarket segment experienced a 16% growth, continuing the positive momentum from the first quarter. This performance underpinned a 12% rise in segment operating profit while maintaining free cash flow around breakeven, largely due to the 4-week work stoppage at Pratt & Whitney (Pratt) in May.
