L3Harris Technologies price target raised to $293 from $250 at Truist

Truist raised the firm’s price target on L3Harris Technologies (LHX) to $293 from $250 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note previewing Q3 results in Commercial Aerospace / Defense sector. The firm points to an “obvious tough set up” and backdrop for commercial aero suppliers amid production challenges and the ongoing Boeing (BA) strike but notes that the aero aftermarket is “likely the favored place to be” with high probability of beat and raise type results, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist added that defense contractors should benefit from strong outlays and foreign military sales, with backlog growth that should also enable positive initial commentary on 2025.
