Crucible Verdict — RTX

RTX Corporation earns a middling C grade, held back by weak valuation metrics despite solid operational fundamentals including perfect earnings execution and strong diversification. The 18% gap between current price and fair value suggests modest upside, but insider selling raises questions about management's confidence. RTX's defense exposure should benefit from elevated geopolitical tensions ahead.

Scenario	Fair Value	Rev CAGR (5yr)	Terminal Margin	WACC
🔴 Bear	$152.40	4.0%	9.0%	7.0%
🟢 Base	$210.55	6.0%	10.5%	6.5%
🟢 Bull	$285.30	8.0%	12.0%	5.9%

Key Assumptions: WACC derived using CAPM with 4.39% risk-free rate, 0.41 beta, and 5.5% ERP yielding ~6.65% cost of equity, blended with after-tax cost of debt (~4.2%) at ~40% debt weighting for base WACC of ~6.45%. Revenue growth anchored to recent trajectory of ~8% YoY with normalization toward GDP+ rates; operating margins trend from ~10% current toward 9-12% terminal range reflecting aerospace aftermarket mix shift and defense margin stability. Bear case assumes supply chain headwinds and defense budget pressure compress margins; bull case reflects strong commercial aftermarket growth and margin expansion from Pratt & Whitney GTF fleet maturation.
