Company Report

L3Harris Earnings: Solid Performance Across the Portfolio; Fair Value Estimate Up 2%

After reviewing L3Harris Technologies' second-quarter 2024 results, we have increased our fair value estimate for the narrow-moat defense contractor to $238 from $234, for the time value of money. First-quarter revenue and profits came in close enough to our forecast that we did not alter our assumptions, and management's raised guidance now meets our previous full-year 2024 forecast.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

L3Harris' strategy to position itself as the "sixth prime" US defense contractor could offer growth potential if it is able to bid for programs it could not take on as a smaller and more specialized contractor.

Bears

L3Harris depends on US military funding, which is an inherently political and thus uncertain process.
