RTX Corporation (RTX): Reusable drone swarms & the 1% headcount scaling code [Q1 2026]


Listen Later

RTX Corporation delivered massive double-digit top-line growth in Q1 2026 while barely expanding its workforce, yet the market inexplicably punished the stock.


In ~10 minutes:

• Why organic sales surged 10% on a microscopic 1% headcount increase.

• How the Supreme Court triggered an unmodeled $500 million cash refund.

• Five landmark DoD agreements radically shifting missile capacity funding.

• The sci-fi "non-kinetic" Coyote drone that attacks, lands, and recharges.

• How rapid robotic assembly is quietly solving the Pratt & Whitney engine crisis.


Miro and Susie unpack how elite operational leverage and new automation ⚙️ are transforming RTX's factory floor. Despite flat cash flow guidance and stubborn tariff headwinds, management is quietly reshaping the defense supply chain for the next decade—the only question left is if their lower-tier suppliers can actually keep up with the influx of demand.
