RTX Corp Surges to 52-Week High on Strong Volume, After-Hours Trading Suggests Continued Momentum for Monday
NEW YORK, NY – Shares of RTX Corp (RTX) closed the trading week with a powerful rally, leaving investors optimistic about a strong start to the new week. The aerospace and defense giant finished the day at
4.67, or 3.31%.
The positive sentiment didn’t stop at the closing bell. In after-hours trading, RTX continued to climb, reaching $147.00, an additional gain of 0.90%. This sustained buying pressure after the market’s close is a key bullish indicator, suggesting that investor confidence remains high.
Analysis of Friday’s trading session reveals a picture of sustained strength. After opening at $144.02, well above the previous close of $141.02, the stock powered through to hit a new 52-week high of $146.02. While there was an intraday dip to $142.32, buyers quickly stepped in, and the stock spent the majority of the day on a steady upward trajectory, closing near its peak.
Outlook for Monday:
The technical picture for RTX Corp appears decidedly bullish heading into Monday. Several factors point toward a potential continuation of this upward trend:
-
Breaking a 52-Week High: Hitting a new annual high is a significant technical breakout. This event often attracts new buyers and momentum traders, which can fuel further gains.
-
Strong Close: The stock closed near the high of the day, indicating that buyers were in control until the very end of the session.
-
Positive After-Hours Activity: The continued rise in after-hours trading is perhaps the most direct signal that the bullish momentum is carrying over and could translate into a higher opening price on Monday morning.
While the stock’s P/E ratio of 42.72 suggests a high valuation that might give some long-term investors pause, the short-term momentum is undeniable. Barring any unexpected negative news over the weekend, the indicators from Friday’s trading session suggest that RTX Corp is poised to open higher on Monday. Traders will be closely watching the pre-market session to see if the after-hours momentum can be sustained.
