RTX reported in-line Q1 EPS of $1.53 alongside 10% organic sales growth, but its modest full-year guidance raise fell short of analyst expectations. Shares sold off as the disappointing guidance update and lingering concerns over the commercial aerospace outlook overshadowed strong defense demand. Furthermore, a premium valuation and recent executive restrictions on defense contractor share repurchases weighed heavily on investor sentiment, driving the stock down to the bear floor.
