RTX nears settlement in investigation over missile contracts
RTX Corp. is approaching the conclusion of a long-standing criminal investigation by the US Justice Department regarding its pricing practices for missile and defense services. Bloomberg sources indicate that the aerospace and defense giant received 32 billion USD from the federal government last year, representing 46% of its total net sales across three business units. This investigation, initiated nearly four years ago by the Justice Department’s Criminal Fraud Section in collaboration with the US Attorney's office in Massachusetts, focused on the pricing of various services offered by RTX.
The settlement, expected to be concluded this summer, includes RTX setting aside 306 USD million to cover the fines. This resolution comes at a time of heightened demand for RTX’s products, particularly given the ongoing military conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip.
To explore potential trading opportunities, let’s analyse the stock chart of RTX Corp. (NYSE: RTX) from a technical analysis perspective:
On the Daily (D1) timeframe, the RTX stock exhibits a resistance level at 107.90 USD and support at 104.50 USD. The stock has been on a steady uptrend since the end of October 2023. In the event of a downtrend, a reasonable downside target could be set at 90.00 USD.
However, if the uptrend persists and the stock breaches the resistance at 107.90 USD, there could be an opportunity to buy with a short-term target of 120.00 USD. For a medium-term investment strategy, the stock price could rise to 130.00 USD if the positive momentum continues.
