On Oct 13, 2026, L3Harris Technologies announced a teaming agreement with Divergent Technologies to expand production of affordable mass munitions, leveraging Divergent’s additive manufacturing capabilities to enhance the Wolf Pack family, including Red Wolf and Green Wolf. The partnership was reported to accelerate design development and increase output of proven systems, positioning L3Harris to meet growing demand for cost‑effective precision strike solutions. On the same day, the company also secured more than $6.0 billion in new THAAD propulsion contracts from Lockheed Martin, added a $250 million GMLRS propulsion agreement, and began delivering VAMPIRE counter‑drone systems to the U.S. Army. These contracts were said to strengthen L3Harris’s backlog, execution capacity, and long‑term revenue streams. Additionally, L3Harris announced new contracts for VAMPIRE drone defense systems and GMLRS propulsion units, which analysts noted could boost future revenue as production scales. The company’s historical cash‑flow performance, with a 41% return over three years, was cited as supporting a valuation that may be lower than warranted, suggesting the market may have underappreciated L3Harris’s recent defense wins.

Earnings Summary
L3Harris Technologies is a global provider of advanced technology solutions for government and commercial clients, operating in Space & Mission Systems, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, and Missile Solutions, positioning it firmly within the aerospace and defense sector. In the most recent quarters, the company posted EPS of $3.47 in Q4 2024 and $2.41 in Q1 2025, both above analyst expectations, while revenue rose from $5.52 billion to $5.13 billion, reflecting a slight decline in top‑line growth but maintaining a positive trend; EPS continued to accelerate in Q2 2025 ($2.78 vs. $2.50 estimate) and Q3 2025 ($2.70 vs. $2.57 estimate), indicating consistent earnings strength despite modest revenue fluctuations. Historically, L3Harris has delivered year‑over‑year revenue growth in the mid‑single digits, with EPS frequently beating estimates, as seen in Q4 2025 where EPS of $2.86 outpaced the $2.79 forecast even though revenue dipped slightly below the $5.83 billion estimate; this pattern of earnings resilience amid revenue volatility has been a recurring theme. Recent news highlights a $461.9 million sole‑source DoD contract for commercial satellite communications and a $26.9 million Navy communications gear contract, both slated for completion by 2030, alongside a $6 billion Lockheed Martin propulsion expansion agreement, underscoring the company’s expanding defense portfolio and long‑term revenue streams.

LHX's technical picture is under pressure, with momentum working against price. The stock is liquid enough that positioning changes get absorbed without distorting the trend.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into LHX?

CHEAP

At today's price, L3Harris Technologies, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 2.5% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 7.63% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 11.0% a year, so the market is asking for 8.5 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis LHX looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc. is currently running 15.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against LHX's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 27th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 21.2%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

LHX is trading -37.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -20.0%, and the deepest was -34.7% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -23.5% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 0th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year LHX closed higher on 44% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, LHX finished the month higher 9 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.7% and an average of +1.5%. Its strongest month historically has been February at +3.4% on average, its weakest September at -1.5%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: LHX has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 98 of 3,266 sessions (3.0% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.7% and -12.7%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, LHX moved an average of 3.1% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -3.2% and a largest of -4.5%.

All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-10-14 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against LHX's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.

L3Harris Technologies announced new contracts for VAMPIRE drone defense systems and GMLRS propulsion units, prompting analysts to reassess the company’s valuation.
