RTX Corporation dividend history spans 65 years, backed by a business that supplies aircraft engines, defense systems, and aerospace components to commercial airlines, militaries, and governments worldwide. The current yield is 1.57%, with trailing twelve-month payments of $2.77 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is August 14, 2026, with the last declared quarterly payment at $0.73 per share. A Dividend Aristocrat with 33 consecutive years of increases, RTX stock carries a beta of 0.308, making it one of the lower-volatility names in the industrials sector for income-focused investors.
RTX Corporation pays out 48.8% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as moderate (40-60%). That level leaves meaningful room to absorb earnings pressure while continuing to fund payments, supported by RTX's diversified revenue across Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon, which spans commercial aviation aftermarket services, military engine programs, and defense sensor systems. RTX Corporation dividend safety benefits from this multi-segment structure, though exposure to government defense budgets and commercial aerospace cycles means demand is not entirely insulated from macro or policy shifts.
RTX Corporation dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.0% per year from 2011 to 2025, with per-share payments rising from $1.1738 to $2.6700 (2026 data is partial and excluded from this calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.0% in 2020. That floor matters: even in a year when many companies froze or cut payouts, RTX still raised its dividend, though only modestly.
| 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 a high current yield. The yield sits at 1.57%, classified as low (below 2%), and runs below the stock's own 5-year average yield of 1.98%, which means income buyers are getting less yield than the historical norm at current prices. The Dividend Aristocrat status, backed by 33 consecutive years of increases, is the defining characteristic here. What an investor gets is a disciplined, multi-decade payer with a moderate payout ratio and a 6.0% annual growth rate. The trade-off is a yield that income-focused portfolios may find insufficient on its own.
RTX is a Dividend Aristocrat with 33 consecutive years of dividend increases.
