What Awaits Raytheon Technologies (RTX) in Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Raytheon Technologies Corp. (RTX - Free Report) is set to release fourth-quarter 2020 results on Jan 26, before market open.
The company delivered average earnings surprise of 96.66% in the last four quarters. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter earnings of 73 cents has remained unchanged over the past 30 days.
Factors to Note
On Apr 3, 2020, missile-maker Raytheon Company completed its merger with multinational conglomerate United Technologies to form aerospace and defense giant Raytheon Technologies. The combined company’s fourth-quarter results are projected to reflect better-than-expected positive synergies from the merger.
Moreover, incremental cost synergies from the previous acquisition of Rockwell Collins are also projected to benefit Raytheon Technologies’ results.
Raytheon Technologies Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Although a slight improvement in global air travel was observed during the third quarter and a similar trend is likely to have prevailed in the fourth quarter as well, commercial aerospace business is unlikely to have reached pre-COVID air traffic levels. Therefore, adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the aerospace industry that have been affecting commercial OEM as well as commercial aftermarket sales, are expected to have once again dragged down the company’s revenues.
On the cost front, while COVID-induced expenses along with ongoing integration related costs are expected to have escalated Raytheon Technologies’ quarterly expenditures, its accelerated progress in cost mitigation actions as well as lower effective tax rate might have mitigated the overall pressure on fourth-quarter earnings.
Q4 Expectations
Currently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Raytheon Technologies’ earnings is pegged at 73 cents on revenues of $16.24 billion, indicating 62.4% and 16.9% decline from the respective year-ago quarter numbers, which are derived from combining the quarterly figures of legacy Raytheon and United Technologies.

Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s.
