6. Segments

Collins Aerospace

Expected Growth: 6.2%

The commercial aerospace industry is expected to continue growing, driven by increasing air travel demand and the need for more efficient aircraft. Collins Aerospace is well-positioned to benefit from this trend, with its advanced technologies and strong customer relationships. The segment's growth is expected to outpace the global average, driven by the increasing adoption of its products.

Pratt & Whitney

Expected Growth: 5.5%

The global demand for aircraft engines is expected to remain strong, driven by the need for more efficient and reliable propulsion systems. While Pratt & Whitney faces intense competition in the commercial engine market, its strong presence in the military aerospace industry provides a stable source of revenue. The segment's growth is expected to be slightly below the global average, due to the cyclical nature of the commercial aerospace industry.

Raytheon

Expected Growth: 6.5%

The global defense industry is expected to continue growing, driven by increasing global security concerns and the need for advanced defense systems. Raytheon is well-positioned to benefit from this trend, with its portfolio of advanced defense systems and strong customer relationships. The segment's growth is expected to outpace the global average, driven by the increasing demand for its products.

Eliminations and Other

Expected Growth: 5.9%

As this segment is not an operating segment, its growth is not driven by business performance, but rather by the company's consolidation process. We assume a growth rate in line with the global growth hypothesis, as it is a non-operating segment and does not have a specific growth driver.
