RTX Corporation dividend history spans 65 years, backed by three core businesses: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. The current yield is 1.26%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $2.82 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 14, 2026. A Dividend Aristocrat with 33 consecutive years of increases, RTX stock carries a beta of 0.294, making it one of the lower-volatility names in the industrials sector.
RTX Corporation pays out 48.1% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves meaningful room to sustain payments even if earnings soften, and RTX Corporation dividend safety is further supported by recurring aftermarket revenue across Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney, where spare parts, overhaul, and repair services generate demand that extends well beyond initial equipment sales. The primary pressure point is exposure to defense budget cycles and commercial aerospace demand, both of which can shift with government spending priorities or airline industry conditions.
RTX Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.0% per year from 2011 to 2025. The per-share dividend grew from $1.1738 to $2.67 over that window (2026 data is partial and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2020, which sets a floor for what slower growth looks like in this series.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +7.3% | $2.16 (2022) | $2.67 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.2% | $1.89 (2020) | $2.67 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +5.2% | $1.61 (2015) | $2.67 (2025) |
RTX Corporation fits dividend investors who prioritize low volatility and a long, unbroken increase streak over headline yield. The current yield of 1.26% is low (below 2%), and it sits above the 5-year average of 1.04%, so income buyers are getting slightly more yield than the recent norm. Thirty-three consecutive years of increases confirms Dividend Aristocrat status, a threshold few industrials companies reach. The trade-off is straightforward: RTX stock delivers a 6.0% annual growth rate and a moderate payout ratio, but the starting yield is thin, so the income payoff takes time to build.
RTX is a Dividend Aristocrat with 33 consecutive years of dividend increases.
