RTX reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings, with a per-share profit of $1.45 and adjusted sales of $20.1 billion. RTX's unit Pratt & Whitney posted a third-quarter operating profit of $557 million, while Collins Aerospace saw an 18% rise in operating profit to $1.06 billion. Raytheon, another main business of RTX, also reported a higher profit due to demand for products like Patriot missile-defense systems.
