📈 Top AI Scorers of the Week
The past few weeks have been all about precious metals, energy, and data centers.
Notice one stock below that’s from an entirely different sector?
Raytheon, the defense titan.
Stock spotlight: Raytheon Technologies (RTX)
Raytheon Technologies Corporation is a prominent player in the aerospace and defense industry, formed through the merger of Raytheon Company and the United Technologies Corporation aerospace businesses in April 2020. With a focus on innovative technology solutions, the company operates in four principal segments: Collins Aerospace Systems, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon Intelligence & Space, and Raytheon Missiles & Defense. This diversified portfolio allows Raytheon Technologies to tap into various markets within aerospace and defense, providing it with a stable revenue base and potential for long-term growth.
The data:
Revenue: $24.2B. That’s a 7.83% increase since last quarter and an increase of 12.09% since last year.
Net income: $1.62B. Decreased by 15.43% quarter over quarter but a 9.45% increase year over year.
EBITDA: $2.51B. Down by 37.41% quarter over quarter and down 31.41% year over year.
Price momentum: Positive over the past month (+3.94%) and over the past year (+67.90%).
RSI (relative strength index): Overbought at 89.3.
P/E (price-to-earnings ratio): High at 39.7.
Analyst rating: 33% buy
Alt data from the past few months:
Job listings ↑ 21%
Sentiment: ↑ 10.8%
Stocktwits mentions: ↑ 174%
Twitter followers ↑ 7%
Instagram followers ↑ 34%
The verdict:
AI score: 78 — buy signal.
Current price: $201.21
Price prediction: $234.51 (16.2% upside)
Bottom line: Raytheon Technologies exhibits strong market presence and consistent revenue growth, emphasizing its resilience and potential for future success. However, the recent quarterly declines in net income and EBITDA warrant cautious consideration. The stock may be potentially overvalued given its high P/E ratio and the RSI indicating overbought conditions. On the alternative data front, increased job postings and social media engagement are positive signs, although employee sentiment is neutral.
Given these factors, Raytheon Technologies appears to have substantial growth potential but comes with some near-term risks. Investors should weigh these elements carefully before making a decision.
