L3Harris Technologies, Inc. LHX is slated to report fourth-quarter 2025 results on Jan. 29, before market open. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 5.47% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors Likely to Affect LHX’s Q4 Results
L3Harris’ fourth-quarter results are expected to benefit from solid execution across all segments, supported by strong defense modernization demand and rising international sales, particularly for resilient communications and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“ISR”) solutions.
Solid momentum in Communication Systems, Integrated Mission Systems and Aerojet Rocketdyne, supported by the expanding classified ISR program and increased missile and munitions production, is expected to have positively influenced the company’s revenue performance in the quarter to be reported.
Ongoing LHX NeXt cost savings and improved program performance are expected to have aided fourth-quarter earnings. However, the U.S. government shutdown and budget uncertainty may have slowed contract awards, export approvals and cash collections, along with customer-related delays in payment, which may have weighed on the company’s bottom line.
