By comparison the S&P 500 returned about $2,540 on the same stake, edging out RTX (Raytheon) by close to $207.

At its lowest point the position was down about 27% from an earlier high. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.

What if you invested $100 a month instead?
Most people do not drop a lump sum in on day one. They add a fixed amount every month. Putting $100 into RTX (Raytheon) at the close of every month from January 2020 through June 2026 means 78 buys and $7,800 contributed over about 6.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$16,844
+115.9% on $7,800 in
Same $7,800, all in at the start
$18,198
+133.3% on $7,800 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $1,354. That is the usual result when a stock trends up: each monthly buy pays a higher price than the last, so the average cost climbs. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $87.86 per share across the whole stretch, so the monthly buyer never had to time a single low. Neither number counts dividends, taxes, or trading costs.
Illustrative fixed $100/month example, not a recommendation. Figures are computed from RTX split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
