Dear Reader,
One of the market's greatest "sleeper stocks" may be about to wake up.
And Wall Street has begun to take notice.
The ticker shot up 5% in a single week as analysts recently raised its price target - and elevated the stock from a "Hold" to a "BUY."
In fact, one 50-year Wall Street legend just named it his #1 stock of 2026 - live, on-camera.
When you see the role this company is playing in a $269 billion market, you'll understand why he's telling his 800,000 followers to put $1,000 into the stock NOW.
(And why BlackRock even made a multi-billion-dollar offer to buy the company behind it.)
Right now, institutional investors hold over 50% of the stock.
But the tide may soon be about to change, as more and more retail investors catch onto its extraordinary potential.
The best part?
As of this writing, it's trading just around $15 a share.
That's one-twelfth the price of Nvidia (NVDA).
So if you missed out on NVDA's extraordinary runup...
This is your rare second chance to get in NOW, before this undervalued stock could become one of the best-performing stocks of the new year.

Why RTX Stock Is Surging in 2026—and Why It Might Not Be Done Yet
Submitted by Thomas Hughes. Posted: 1/28/2026.
Article Highlights
- 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 flying high in early 2026, supported by outperformance and capital returns. The defense and aerospace heavyweight could move even higher, as its 2026 guidance aligns with an upward trend.
Strength in the defense sector remained firm through 2025 and into early 2026, reinforcing the view that the company could continue to outpace expectations in upcoming quarters.
These Popular Stocks Could Crash 90%... (Ad)
Wall Street heavyweights are sounding the alarm. Morgan Stanley says a 15 percent decline is possible. Goldman Sachs warns losses could hit 20 percent. Jamie Dimon confesses he's far more worried than others about a market crash. Mark Mobius is calling for a 30 to 40 percent decline in AI stocks. But all of this would only be the start of a much bigger financial reckoning. Four unstoppable market forces are barreling toward each other. The last time these forces converged was over 50 years ago, when popular stocks crashed 80 to 90 percent and the economy experienced a lost decade.
See the latest research and how to sidestep the carnage.RTX has benefited from increased defense spending, evidenced by a surge in backlog to more than $260 billion — roughly three years of revenue based on 2026 guidance. If the company executes and delivers on those orders, it has a clear runway to beat expectations.
RTX Improves Market Confidence With Beat-and-Raise Quarter
RTX reported a solid quarter on Jan. 27, 2026, driven by commercial demand and increased government spending. The company posted $24.24 billion in net revenue, up 12.1% year over year and more than 670 basis points better than expected. By segment, Pratt & Whitney led with a 25% gain, Raytheon rose 7%, and Collins Aerospace grew 3%. Organic growth was about 14%, while divestitures weighed on reported results as management focuses on strengthening revenue quality and margins.
Margin news was better than feared. While the company still faced margin pressure and some contraction, the impact proved less severe than anticipated thanks to repositioning, operational improvements, and revenue leverage. These factors helped sustain the balance sheet and support capital returns to shareholders.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) beat estimates by a wide margin, while free cash flow improved sharply — by triple digits — to $3.2 billion, increasing the company's capacity for buybacks and dividends.
Guidance was constructive but conservative: the revenue and earnings midpoints were roughly in line with analyst consensus, so the report provided limited immediate market impetus.
Technically, RTX remains in an uptrend but could consolidate or correct before pushing to a new high. A pullback into the $170–$180 range would not yet signal a technical breakdown; however, a decisive move below that level could indicate a deeper correction.
The Analyst Response Favors Higher Prices for RTX Stock
The initial analyst reaction to RTX's 2026 guidance was broadly favorable. Analysts cited effective strategy execution, the growing backlog, and momentum that should carry through 2026.
That commentary aligns with longer-term trends: improving coverage, rising sentiment, and an increasing consensus price target. January updates to price targets imply roughly 15% upside from the current level of just under $200.
The critical near-term resistance is the all-time high set in early January. That level is acting as a pivot: a sustained move above it would signal a continuation of the uptrend and could produce another $12–$25 of upside in a relatively short period.
Investors should watch institutional activity as a potential headwind. Institutions own about 85% of RTX and were net sellers in late 2025, with selling continuing into early 2026. If institutional flows remain negative, the stock may struggle to advance, gains could be muted, and the risk of corrections would rise.
Overall, RTX's combination of backlog, improving cash flow, and favorable analyst sentiment supports a constructive outlook, though near-term price action will depend on execution and institutional demand.
