Dear Reader,
In a quiet move few people noticed...
President Trump just green-lit what could become the biggest AI budget in history.
We're talking over a trillion dollars in spending, with a focus on AI-powered defense, surveillance, and autonomous weapons.
But here's what most investors don't realize:
The real money won't be in the contractors building fighter jets.
It'll be in the company that supplies the core AI tech powering them - the same company that's rumored to be working with Elon Musk.
It's just a fraction of the size of Nvidia.
But this could be your best shot to ride both the Trump AI surge and the next Musk supercycle.

Why RTX Stock Is Surging in 2026—and Why It Might Not Be Done Yet
By Thomas Hughes. Article Published: 1/28/2026.
At a Glance
- RTX’s beat-and-raise quarter reinforced confidence in commercial and defense demand across its major segments.
- A $260 billion backlog suggests strong multi-year visibility if execution stays on track.
- Shares could consolidate or retest support before a breakout, with institutional selling a potential headwind.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) stock is trading strongly in early 2026, supported by outperformance and capital returns. The defense and aerospace heavyweight could move higher as its 2026 guidance aligns with an upward trend.
Strength in the defense sector has held firm through 2025 and into early 2026, supporting expectations that the company could outperform in upcoming quarters.
After signing more than 220 Executive Orders… more than any president in American history… Donald Trump is preparing for one final move.
On February 24th — I have every reason to believe he will sign his Final Executive Order.
When I say that it's his FINAL executive order…
Click here or below for this unbelievable story…
RTX has benefited from higher defense spending, evidenced by a surge in backlog to over $260 billion—nearly three years' revenue based on 2026 guidance. If the company executes on those orders, it can beat expectations.
RTX Improves Market Confidence With Beat-and-Raise Quarter
RTX reported a solid quarter on Jan. 27, 2026, supported by commercial demand and increased government spending. The company posted $24.24 billion in net revenue, up 12.1% year-over-year (YOY) and roughly 670 basis points better than expected. By segment, Pratt & Whitney led with about 25% growth, Raytheon rose roughly 7%, and Collins Aerospace increased about 3%. Organic growth was approximately 14%, with divestitures partially offsetting that while aiming to strengthen revenue quality and margin outlook.
Margins were pressured and contracted as expected, but the impact was smaller than feared.
Repositioning, operational improvement, and revenue leverage helped sustain its balance sheet and allowed the company to return capital to shareholders.
More importantly, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) beat expectations by about 540 basis points, while free cash flow—the money that can be used for capital returns—improved by triple digits to $3.2 billion.
Guidance was solid, but its revenue and earnings midpoints aligned with analyst consensus, providing little immediate market impetus after the release.
RTX remains in an uptrend, but it may trade sideways or pull back before attempting a new high. A retreat to $170–$180 would not yet be a technical red flag; falling below that support could signal a deeper correction.
The Analyst Response Favors Higher Prices for RTX Stock
The initial analyst response to RTX's 2026 guidance was positive. Analysts noted successful strategy execution, the growing backlog, and momentum likely to carry through 2026.
Those comments align with longer-term trends — improving analyst coverage and sentiment, and a rising consensus price target. January updates point to roughly 15% upside from the current level just under $200.
The all-time high set in early January is the key near-term resistance and a market pivot. A breakout to new highs would signal trend continuation and could deliver about $12 to $25 of upside within days.
Institutional ownership presents a notable risk. Institutions hold roughly 85% of the stock and were net sellers in late 2025, with selling continuing into early 2026. That activity has been a headwind for price action. If institutional sentiment remains bearish, RTX's stock may struggle to advance, gains could be muted, and the risk of corrections would increase.
