The composition of assets at RTX Corp. exhibits several notable trends over the observed period from March 2021 to December 2025. Current assets as a percentage of total assets generally increased, while long-term assets decreased. Within current assets, contract assets experienced the most significant growth, while cash and cash equivalents showed more fluctuation.
- Liquidity & Current Assets
- Current assets increased from 26.49% of total assets in March 2021 to 35.27% in September 2025. This increase was primarily driven by growth in contract assets, inventory, and other current assets. Cash and cash equivalents, while fluctuating, generally decreased over the period, ending at 4.35% in September 2025, down from 5.34% in March 2021. Accounts receivable remained relatively stable, with a slight upward trend towards the end of the period, increasing from 6.25% to 8.59% in September 2025.
- Long-Term Assets
- Long-term assets decreased from 73.51% of total assets in March 2021 to 64.73% in September 2025. This decline was most pronounced in intangible assets, net, which fell from 24.90% to 18.61% over the same period. Goodwill also experienced a consistent decrease, moving from 33.79% to 31.18%. Fixed assets, net, showed a modest increase overall, despite consistent depreciation, rising from 9.18% to 9.86%. Operating lease right-of-use assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 1.01% and 1.21%.
- Contract Assets & Inventory
- Contract assets demonstrated a consistent and substantial increase, rising from 6.37% of total assets in March 2021 to 9.99% in September 2025. This suggests a growing backlog of unfulfilled contractual obligations. Inventory also increased, moving from 5.91% to 7.81% over the period, indicating a potential build-up of goods. These increases contributed significantly to the overall growth in current assets.
- Customer Financing Assets
- Customer financing assets experienced a gradual decline, decreasing from 1.92% of total assets in March 2021 to 1.25% in September 2025. This suggests a reduction in financing provided to customers.
- Depreciation
- Accumulated depreciation consistently increased as a percentage of total assets, moving from -7.35% in March 2021 to -10.79% in September 2025. This reflects the ongoing consumption of the economic benefits of fixed assets.
Overall, the asset composition shifted towards a greater proportion of current assets, particularly contract assets and inventory, and a lesser proportion of long-term assets, especially intangible assets and goodwill. This shift may indicate a change in the company’s business model or strategic priorities.
