Raytheon (RTX) is positioned favorably within the defense and aerospace sectors, with experts indicating a strong long-term uptrend despite recent selling pressure linked to geopolitical events. The company benefits significantly from government defense spending amid global conflicts, notably in Ukraine and the Middle East, resulting in all-time high backlogs. While concerns regarding oil prices and their impact on commercial aerospace persist, analysts remain optimistic about Raytheon's dual focus on defense and aerospace, citing significant revenue generation from commercial aircraft. Valuation metrics suggest the stock is somewhat extended, trading at a premium relative to its historical P/E ratio. Nonetheless, the outlook remains positive due to forecasted growth in both business segments.

Quite high on it. Near term bumps in the road. UTX is highly correlated with the aerospace business. Raytheon is more insulated. Together, sees an $8-9 rise in stock price. Thinks they can generate a lot of cash. You might have to show a bit of patience with it. It will do well once the economy gets its footing.

(A Top Pick May 13/19, Down 34%) They just completed the UTX merger. It's struggling a little, but its defence business will support the dividend. Management has always been highly regarded. The Boeing Max problems don't help. He will hold onto this and remains confident. The stock price reflects current problems, but positive surprises and the good management will deliver satisfactory revenues.
