Solvency Ratios (Summary)
RTX Corp., solvency ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-03), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31).
The solvency profile exhibits a three-phase trajectory characterized by initial stability, a significant spike in leverage peaking in late 2023, and a subsequent gradual deleveraging process extending through the first quarter of 2026. The overall trend indicates a period of increased debt accumulation followed by a sustained effort to reduce the organization's financial risk.
- Debt to Equity and Capital Ratios
- A steady increase in the debt to equity ratio is observed from 0.43 in March 2022, climbing to a peak of 0.73 by December 2023. This trend is mirrored in the debt to capital ratio, which rose from 0.30 to 0.42 over the same period. Following the December 2023 peak, both metrics entered a downward trend, with the debt to equity ratio declining to 0.56 and the debt to capital ratio falling to 0.36 by March 2026.
- Asset-Based Solvency and Leverage
- The debt to assets ratio remained relatively flat between 0.20 and 0.22 until late 2023, where it reached a high of 0.27. A gradual contraction followed, returning the ratio to 0.22 by the end of the analyzed period. Similarly, financial leverage shifted from a baseline of approximately 2.20 in 2022 to a peak of 2.71 in December 2023, eventually moderating to 2.57 by March 2026.
- Impact of Operating Lease Liabilities
- The inclusion of operating lease liabilities consistently elevates all solvency ratios by a marginal amount, typically ranging between 0.01 and 0.03. While these liabilities increase the absolute debt figures, they do not alter the fundamental directional trends observed in the primary solvency metrics.
- Comparative Analysis of Trends
- The synchronized peak across all solvency indicators in December 2023 suggests a specific capital event or strategic shift during that quarter. The subsequent decline across all ratios indicates a consistent and systemic reduction in financial leverage and an improvement in the long-term solvency position from 2024 through 2026.

The financial trajectory from March 2022 through March 2026 reveals a distinct three-phase evolution in solvency, characterized by initial stability, a significant volatility event in late 2023, and a subsequent period of gradual deleveraging.
- Total Debt Dynamics
- Between March 2022 and September 2023, total debt remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a range of $31.4 billion to $35.4 billion. A sharp escalation occurred in December 2023, with debt peaking at $43.8 billion. Following this peak, a consistent downward trend is observed, with total debt reducing to $37.4 billion by March 2026.
- Shareowners' Equity Trends
- Equity levels were maintained between $69.6 billion and $72.8 billion from March 2022 through September 2023. A substantial contraction occurred in December 2023, where equity fell to a period low of $59.8 billion. Subsequent quarters show a steady recovery process, with equity climbing back to $66.3 billion by the end of the analyzed period.
- Debt to Equity Ratio Interpretation
- The debt to equity ratio exhibited a gradual increase from 0.43 in March 2022 to 0.51 in September 2023. A significant spike to 0.73 was recorded in December 2023, resulting from the simultaneous surge in total debt and the contraction of shareowners' equity. From January 2024 onward, the ratio demonstrates a sustained decline, reaching 0.56 by March 2026, which indicates a systematic reduction in financial leverage and a strengthening of the solvency profile.

The solvency profile exhibited a period of relative stability followed by a significant spike in leverage in late 2023, succeeded by a gradual deleveraging trend through early 2026.
- Total Debt Trends
- Total debt, including operating lease liabilities, remained relatively stable between 33 billion and 37 billion USD from March 2022 through September 2023. A sharp increase was recorded in December 2023, with debt peaking at 45.2 billion USD. Following this peak, a consistent downward trend is observed, with total debt reducing to 38.9 billion USD by March 2026.
- Shareowners' Equity Trends
- Equity levels were maintained in the range of 69 billion to 73 billion USD for the first several quarters of the analyzed period. A substantial contraction occurred in December 2023, where equity dropped to 59.8 billion USD. From January 2024 onward, equity demonstrated a steady recovery, increasing to 66.3 billion USD by March 2026.
- Debt to Equity Ratio Analysis
- The debt to equity ratio was stable between 0.46 and 0.53 from March 2022 to September 2023. In December 2023, the ratio spiked to 0.76, resulting from the concurrent increase in total liabilities and the decrease in equity. The ratio remained elevated throughout 2024, fluctuating between 0.70 and 0.74. A gradual improvement in the solvency position is evident from June 2025 onward, with the ratio declining to 0.59 by the end of the period.

The analysis of solvency metrics from March 31, 2022, to March 31, 2026, reveals a distinct cycle of leverage expansion followed by a gradual deleveraging phase. The capital structure experienced a significant shift in late 2023, which fundamentally altered the solvency profile for several subsequent quarters before a corrective downward trend emerged in 2025.
- Total Debt Trends
- Debt levels remained relatively stable between March 2022 and September 2023, fluctuating between 31.4 billion and 35.3 billion USD. A sharp escalation occurred during the quarter ending December 31, 2023, with total debt increasing to 43.8 billion USD. Following this peak, debt levels entered a plateau phase, remaining between 41.2 billion and 42.8 billion USD through March 2025. A consistent reduction in total debt was observed starting in June 2025, descending to 37.4 billion USD by March 31, 2026.
- Total Capital Stability
- Total capital exhibited minimal volatility throughout the analyzed period, maintaining a range between approximately 101 billion and 107 billion USD. Because total capital remained relatively flat while total debt increased sharply in late 2023, the company's overall leverage increased without a corresponding expansion in the total capital base.
- Debt to Capital Ratio Dynamics
- The debt to capital ratio increased from 0.30 in March 2022 to a peak of 0.42 in December 2023. This elevated ratio persisted through June 2025, remaining at or above 0.40. A downward trajectory began in the third quarter of 2025, with the ratio declining steadily to 0.36 by March 31, 2026. This progression indicates a transition from a period of aggressive borrowing or liability accumulation to a phase of systematic balance sheet optimization.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Debt to capital (including operating lease liability) = Total debt (including operating lease liability) ÷ Total capital (including operating lease liability)
= 38,935 ÷ 105,215 = 0.37
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile of the organization between March 2022 and March 2026 is characterized by a period of increasing leverage that peaked in late 2023, followed by a sustained deleveraging phase. The debt-to-capital ratio demonstrates a clear cyclical movement, rising from a baseline of 0.31 to a maximum of 0.43 before trending downward toward the end of the period.
- Debt to Capital Ratio Analysis
- The ratio maintained a steady, gradual increase from 0.31 in March 2022 to 0.35 in September 2023. A significant surge occurred in the final quarter of 2023, resulting in a peak ratio of 0.43 by December 31, 2023. Following this spike, the ratio stabilized at 0.42 throughout much of 2024, before beginning a consistent decline to 0.37 by March 31, 2026.
- Total Debt Trends
- Total debt, including operating lease liabilities, remained relatively contained under 35 billion USD through 2022. A notable escalation in borrowing is evident in late 2023, where debt rose sharply from 36.78 billion USD in September to 45.24 billion USD in December. From January 2024 onward, a systematic reduction in debt is observed, with the balance falling to 38.94 billion USD by the end of the analysis period.
- Capital Base Stability
- Total capital remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between approximately 102 billion USD and 109 billion USD. The lack of significant volatility in the total capital base indicates that the fluctuations observed in the debt-to-capital ratio were driven primarily by changes in total debt obligations rather than shifts in equity or total capital structure.
- Solvency Outlook
- The transition from a peak ratio of 0.43 in December 2023 to 0.37 in March 2026 suggests a deliberate strategic shift toward reducing financial leverage. The gradual decline in total debt throughout 2025 and early 2026 indicates an improved solvency position relative to the peak indebtedness experienced in late 2023.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile exhibits a period of relative stability followed by a significant increase in leverage and a subsequent gradual deleveraging phase.
- Debt to Assets Ratio Trajectory
- The ratio remained consistent between 0.20 and 0.22 from March 2022 through September 2023. A sharp escalation occurred in the fourth quarter of 2023, with the ratio peaking at 0.27. Following this peak, a sustained downward trend is observed, returning to 0.22 by March 2026.
- Total Debt Dynamics
- Total debt levels were stable between 31 billion and 35 billion US dollars during 2022 and the majority of 2023. A substantial increase to 43.8 billion US dollars was recorded on December 31, 2023. This peak was followed by a steady reduction over the subsequent two years, concluding at 37.4 billion US dollars by March 31, 2026.
- Asset Base Evolution
- Total assets remained relatively flat throughout 2022 and 2023, hovering around 160 billion US dollars. Starting in 2024, a consistent growth pattern emerged, with assets increasing to 171 billion US dollars by December 2025, before adjusting slightly to 170.4 billion US dollars in March 2026.
- Solvency Correlation
- The reduction in the Debt to Assets ratio from 2024 onward is the result of a dual impact: the simultaneous decrease in total debt and the steady expansion of the total asset base. This combination indicates a movement toward a strengthened long-term solvency position compared to the peak leverage observed in late 2023.

The solvency profile exhibits a distinct cycle of increasing leverage followed by a sustained period of deleveraging and asset expansion.
- Debt Accumulation and Leverage Peak
- Between March 2022 and December 2023, total debt, including operating lease liabilities, rose from 33,099 million to a peak of 45,239 million. This increase drove the debt-to-assets ratio from a stable baseline of 0.21 to its maximum value of 0.28, marking the point of highest financial leverage within the analyzed period.
- Asset Base Evolution
- Total assets remained relatively stagnant from March 2022 through March 2024, oscillating between 158,225 million and 162,443 million. A shift occurred in June 2024, initiating a consistent upward trajectory that saw assets grow to a peak of 171,079 million by December 2025, thereby strengthening the denominator of the solvency ratio.
- Deleveraging and Ratio Normalization
- From March 2024 through March 2026, a systematic reduction in total debt is observed, with liabilities decreasing from 44,254 million to 38,935 million. The simultaneous reduction in total debt and increase in total assets resulted in a steady decline of the debt-to-assets ratio, which compressed from 0.28 in early 2024 to 0.23 by March 2026.
The overall trajectory indicates a successful return to historical solvency levels, as the ratio in the final quarter of the analysis aligns with the figures observed during the first half of 2022.

1 Q1 2026 Calculation
Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareowners’ equity
= 170,431 ÷ 66,280 = 2.57
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of the capital structure reveals a period of relative stability followed by a significant shift in financial leverage beginning in late 2023. While total assets maintained a gradual upward trajectory over the observed period, a sharp contraction in shareowners' equity during the fourth quarter of 2023 led to a sustained increase in the company's leverage profile.
- Total Assets Growth
- Total assets exhibited a consistent, moderate growth pattern. Starting at 159,366 million USD in March 2022, assets trended upward to a peak of 171,079 million USD by December 2025, before stabilizing at 170,431 million USD in March 2026. This represents a steady expansion of the asset base over the four-year period.
- Shareowners' Equity Volatility
- Equity levels remained stable between 70,000 and 72,000 million USD throughout most of 2022 and early 2023. However, a notable decline occurred between September 30, 2023 (69,596 million USD) and December 31, 2023 (59,798 million USD). Following this drop, a gradual recovery phase is observed, with equity steadily climbing to 66,280 million USD by March 31, 2026, though it remained below pre-2023 levels.
- Financial Leverage Trends
- The financial leverage ratio shifted from a range of 2.19 to 2.33 between March 2022 and September 2023 to a higher plateau starting in December 2023, where the ratio jumped to 2.71. The leverage peaked at 2.73 in June 2024. In the subsequent quarters, a slow downward trend is evident, with the ratio compressing to 2.57 by March 31, 2026, driven primarily by the incremental recovery of shareowners' equity relative to asset growth.
