RTX Corporation dividend investors are looking at a Dividend Aristocrat with deep roots in aerospace and defense, operating through Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. RTX pays $2.77 per share annually on a quarterly basis, with the next ex-dividend date on August 14, 2026. The current yield sits at 1.39%. With a beta of 0.306, RTX stock moves far less than the broader market, which suits income investors who prioritize low volatility over headline yield.
RTX Corporation pays out 50.3% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40–60%). That level leaves meaningful room to sustain payments while funding operations across three large business units serving commercial airlines, military customers, and government agencies globally. RTX Corporation dividend safety gets additional support from the breadth of that customer base, which spans both commercial and defense markets. The main pressure point is that aerospace and defense programs can face budget cycles and procurement delays, which the payout ratio alone cannot fully offset.
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 $2.6700 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the rate calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2020, which sets a floor for what slow years look like.
| 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 want a low-volatility Aerospace and Defense holding with a long, unbroken payment history. The yield is low (below 2%) at 1.39%, above the 5-year average of 1.17%, so current buyers are getting a slightly better entry yield than the historical norm. Thirty-three consecutive years of dividend increases confirm Dividend Aristocrat status, a streak that spans multiple defense budget cycles and commercial aviation downturns. The trade-off is straightforward: RTX stock offers a modest yield and steady 6.0% annual growth, not high current income.
RTX is a Dividend Aristocrat with 33 consecutive years of dividend increases.
