RTX Corporation has completed a $50 million expansion of its Forest, Mississippi, manufacturing site to bolster production of electronic warfare and radar systems. While the investment supports a record $289 billion backlog, analysts suggest the company's premium valuation and execution risks make the stock a hold rather than a buy.
The expansion increases production capacity for critical defense programs, including the Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band, helping the company address its record $289 billion backlog.
Analysts view the stock as a hold; while the backlog is strong, the current forward P/E ratio of 27.72 suggests that much of the future growth is already priced into the shares.
