L3Harris Technologies (LHX) is set to report its Q2 2024 earnings after the market closes. Analysts expect the company to post an EPS of $3.18, with estimates ranging from $3.09 to $3.28, reflecting a 1.2% average revision over the past 30 days. Revenue is projected to be $5.30 billion. For the full year, EPS is estimated at $12.97, with revenues expected to reach $21.21 billion. The conference call to discuss the results is scheduled for July 26, 2024, at 8:30 AM.

In the lead-up to the earnings report, L3Harris' stock has rallied, reaching its highest level since November 2022. This optimism comes despite challenges related to supply chain issues and significant acquisitions. Analysts, including those from Truist, believe that the results will be strong, driven by a solid business-to-business (B2B) performance and strength in the AR portfolio. There is also potential for margin improvement and positive expected cost adjustments (EACs), which might prompt management to increase its outlook.

Key areas of focus for this earnings report will include updates on international spending, the status of the NeXt cost-saving initiatives, and facility and data center consolidations. Truist notes that these areas could provide insights into L3Harris' operational efficiency and future financial performance. Additionally, the integration of Aerojet Rocketdyne, consolidated in Q3 2023, is expected to impact the financials significantly.

Despite facing headwinds like supply chain disruptions and wage inflation, L3Harris has been working on its operational rationalization program, expected deleveraging, and potential for more substantial dividend growth. Historically, L3Harris has consistently met or slightly exceeded analyst expectations for adjusted EPS, with notable positive surprises in early 2021 and minor negative surprises in late 2022 due to supply chain issues. The market remains optimistic about the company's ability to navigate these challenges and continue delivering strong financial performance.
