Services Are 44% of Pratt & WhitneyNarrow moat

RTX (RTX) — moat facet

Pratt & Whitney's services revenue grew by about half in two years to 44% of its sales, which is what its engine discounts were bought to earn.

The shape of Pratt & Whitney's revenue has turned over in two years. In 2025 it sold $18,467 million of products and $14,449 million of services1, so services were 44% of the segment's sales2. Services revenue was $9,717 million in 20233, so it grew by about half in two years4.

Services up about half in two years.

This is the business that the discounts at the point of sale were meant to buy. Of Pratt & Whitney's $4.8 billion of organic sales growth in 2025, "higher commercial aftermarket sales of $2.9 billion" was the largest part5, ahead of commercial original equipment at $0.9 billion and military at $1.0 billion.

The trend carried into 2026. In the second quarter Pratt & Whitney's commercial aftermarket sales rose 25% while commercial original-equipment sales fell 8%6, and the company said aftermarket growth was supported by "resilient passenger air travel and low engine retirement rates"7. An old engine that is not retired needs another overhaul.

The service line is also what makes the backlog so long. Around half of RTX's remaining performance obligations sit in Pratt & Whitney's long-term commercial maintenance contracts, a point taken up under Major Clients.

The shift shows in the backlog as well. Pratt & Whitney's share of RTX's backlog rose to $151 billion at the end of 2025 from $119 billion a year earlier8, and most of it is long-term maintenance, contracts that the filing expects to be realised over as long as twenty years9. A segment whose backlog is mainly services will report more services revenue every year it delivers.

The segment margin rose from 7.2% to 7.9% in 20251011. The reading to take is the services share. If it falls back toward a third while new-engine deliveries rise, Pratt & Whitney will again be an equipment business selling at a discount.

Moat trajectory: Widening

Services $9,717M (2023) to $14,449M (2025).

The aftermarket annuity; a fall back toward a third would mean the segment is selling engines, not maintaining them.

How it's calculated: Pratt & Whitney services sales ($14,449M) divided by segment external sales ($32,916M) in 2025, from Note 20 of the FY2025 10-K.
