Top 10 Growing Aerospace and Defense Stocks For Trump’s Presidency

8. RTX Corporation (NYSE:RTX)

RTX Corporation serves both the commercial aerospace as well as the defense industry. It is usually in the news for its defensive and offensive threat dealing capabilities, but the more stable parts of the business, the Collins Aerospace and the Pratt & Whitney segment, are what make the stock attractive for long-term investors.

RTX’s impressive Q4 results meant that the company was able to register double digit sales growth across all its segments. This is particularly important because in the past, the company has struggled to compete with its peers in the Raytheon segment. The return to growth of this segment is good news for investors.

The company’s 2025 guidance came in below analyst expectations but the projected sales growth, together with $7.25 billion in free cash flow, should not worry investors much. With the company expecting margin improvement through the year, earnings could surprise to the upside by the end of the year.
