• Positive Sentiment: Investor chatter and analyst coverage remain constructive after RTX’s recent earnings beat and healthy backlog—social summaries note higher defense spending and government contract tailwinds. Multiple firms have issued buy/overweight ratings and the median price target in recent months sits above the current price, supporting positive investor momentum. Article Title
• Neutral Sentiment: Numerous consumer headlines reference “RTX” GPUs (deals, leaks, overclocking issues and high‑end card resale prices). These stories mostly concern Nvidia’s GPU product line and retail deals, not RTX Corporation’s aerospace & defense operations, so they are unlikely to be material drivers for RTX stock.

• Negative Sentiment: Insider selling was reported (executive sales disclosed), and QuiverQuant notes multiple insider sales over recent months. Large insider disposals and some institutional trimming (quarterly portfolio moves) are potential near‑term headwinds for sentiment even if they are for liquidity/tax reasons. Article Article
