A Decade of EBITDA: RTX Corporation vs ITT Inc.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the industrial sector, EBITDA serves as a crucial indicator of a company's financial health. Over the past decade, RTX Corporation and ITT Inc. have showcased contrasting trajectories. From 2014 to 2023, RTX Corporation consistently outperformed ITT Inc., with EBITDA figures often more than ten times higher. Notably, RTX's EBITDA peaked in 2018, reaching a remarkable 11.7 billion, while ITT Inc. saw a steady growth, culminating in a 64% increase from 2014 to 2023.

However, 2020 marked a challenging year for RTX, with EBITDA plummeting by 65% compared to the previous year, reflecting the broader economic impact of global events. In contrast, ITT Inc. demonstrated resilience, maintaining a stable growth trajectory. As we look to 2024, the absence of ITT's data leaves room for speculation, while RTX's figures suggest a potential recovery.
