What's in Store for Raytheon Technologies (RTX) in Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Raytheon Technologies Corp. (RTX - Free Report) is set to release first-quarter 2022 results on Apr 26, before market open.
The company delivered an earnings surprise of 6.93% in the last reported quarter. Moreover, Raytheon delivered an earnings surprise of 9.73% in the last four quarters, on average.
Factors to Note
The merger between legacy missile-maker Raytheon Company with multinational conglomerate United Technologies, resulting in the formation of Raytheon Technologies was completed in April 2021. Consequently, Raytheon Technologies’ first-quarter 2022 results are expected to benefit from the incremental merger synergies. Also, cost synergies from the acquisition of Rockwell Collins are anticipated to bolster the company’s soon-to-be-reported quarter’s results.
A gradual improvement in global air travel has led to a modest recovery of the commercial aerospace industry over the past couple of quarters, which must have boosted domestic narrowbody jets' volume as well as parts and repairs strength. This in turn is likely to have once again boosted the company’s commercial OEM as well as aftermarket sales in the first quarter.
Raytheon Technologies Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
However, lower volume for F-35 jets might have dragged down its military sales, which in turn is projected to have partially marred its overall sales performance. Also, supply chain pressure and headwinds related to the delivery of original equipment for 787 jets might have partially impacted the overall performance of the Collins business unit in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
Raytheon’s relentless cost-reduction initiatives along with strong operational performance are expected to have benefited its first-quarter earnings.
