L3Harris Technologies (LHX) Earnings: Q3 Fiscal 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended October 2, 2026 and L3Harris Technologies published the results on October 29, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 fiscal 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison.

• L3Harris reports three segments from fiscal 2026 (previously four), and its earnings appendix recasts 2025 quarters on that basis. Segment revenue is shown before intersegment eliminations, so the Intersegment and Other rows reconcile it to total revenue.
• Net income on this page is net income available to common shareholders, after $19 million of deemed dividends on the subsidiary Series A preferred stock issued in the Department of War (DoW) strategic investment.
• L3Harris's fiscal quarter ended October 2, 2026; the year-ago quarter ended October 3, 2025.

How L3Harris Technologies splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 fiscal 2026 against Q3 fiscal 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• L3Harris Technologies's Space & Mission Systems revenue was $3.1 billion in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 10% from $2.8 billion in Q3 fiscal 2025, 51% of total revenue.
• L3Harris Technologies's Communications & Spectrum Dominance revenue was $2.0 billion in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 3% from $1.9 billion in Q3 fiscal 2025, 33% of total revenue.
• L3Harris Technologies's Missile Solutions revenue was $1.1 billion in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 5% from $1.0 billion in Q3 fiscal 2025, 17% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

L3Harris Technologies's next report is expected around January 28, 2027, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not yet confirmed. This page will show Q3 fiscal 2026 until those results are out and have been checked against the release.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q3 fiscal 2026 (this page), reported Oct 29, 2026

L3Harris Technologies reports three segments. In Q3 fiscal 2026 Space & Mission Systems had revenue of $3,093 million, Communications & Spectrum Dominance $1,995 million and Missile Solutions $1,057 million, before $80 million of intersegment eliminations. Total revenue was $6,060 million, up $401 million, or 7%, and up 9% on an organic basis. (L3Harris Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026)

L3Harris's largest customers are U.S. Government departments and agencies, their prime contractors and international allies. In fiscal 2025, 75% of revenue came from U.S. Government customers, directly or through prime contractors and including foreign military sales, and revenue from end customers outside the U.S. was $4.8 billion, or 22%. (L3Harris Form 10-K, fiscal 2025, Feb 12, 2026)

Contract mix differs by segment. In Q3 fiscal 2026, 72% of total revenue was fixed-price and 28% cost-type, and 76% came from the United States. Communications & Spectrum Dominance was 84% fixed-price with 42% international revenue, while 73% of Missile Solutions revenue came from work as a subcontractor. (L3Harris Q3 2026 earnings appendix, Oct 29, 2026)

L3Harris said revenue rose across all segments, mainly on higher volumes and a milestone tied to material procurement for classified contracts, partly offset by $103 million less revenue after the August 3, 2026 divestiture of the Space Technology disposal group from Missile Solutions. Missile Solutions organic growth was 17%, against 5% reported, and Space & Mission Systems grew 10%. (L3Harris Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 29, 2026; L3Harris Q3 2026 earnings appendix, Oct 29, 2026)

Orders were $19.3 billion in the quarter, a book-to-bill of 3.2x, taking backlog to a record $53.2 billion. Missile Solutions booked $12.5 billion (book-to-bill 11.8x), including seven-year undefinitized contracts of $6.3 billion for THAAD propulsion and $4.7 billion for PAC-3 MSE propulsion. L3Harris expects to recognize approximately 35% of backlog as revenue over the next twelve months. (L3Harris Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026; L3Harris Q3 2026 earnings appendix, Oct 29, 2026; L3Harris Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 29, 2026)

L3Harris Technologies reports GAAP EPS only and gives no adjusted EPS figure. Diluted EPS was $3.28 in Q3 fiscal 2026, up 33% from $2.46, which it attributed to higher volumes, lower corporate expense, lower interest expense and a lower effective tax rate. Unallocated corporate items fell to $181 million from $279 million, including $147 million of acquisition-related intangible amortization against $192 million. (L3Harris Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026; L3Harris Q3 2026 earnings appendix, Oct 29, 2026)

The effective tax rate was 14.9%, against 18.5% a year earlier, and included a 10% benefit from the favorable resolution of audit uncertainties. Interest expense, net, fell to $116 million from $152 million. EPS is calculated after $19 million of deemed dividends on the subsidiary Series A preferred stock issued in the DoW strategic investment, and the quarter included a $50 million charge from the change in fair value of that stock's conversion feature and warrants. (L3Harris Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026; L3Harris Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 29, 2026; L3Harris Q3 2026 earnings appendix, Oct 29, 2026)

Diluted weighted-average shares were 186.9 million, against 188.1 million a year earlier. L3Harris spent $73 million on buybacks in the quarter and $598 million for 1.8 million shares in the first nine months, with $1.6 billion of authorization remaining, and paid $234 million of dividends in the quarter. (L3Harris Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026; L3Harris Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 29, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

L3Harris Technologies gives full-year revenue, GAAP EPS, margin and cash flow guidance. With Q3 fiscal 2026 results it raised the bottom of its revenue range to $23.5 billion to $23.7 billion, from $23.2 billion to $23.7 billion, raised GAAP EPS guidance to $12.25 to $12.35, from $11.80 to $12.00, and kept free cash flow guidance at $3.0 billion, with operating cash flow of approximately $3.6 billion and capital expenditures of approximately $600 million. (L3Harris Q3 2026 release, Oct 29, 2026)

By segment it now expects revenue of about $11.9 billion for Space & Mission Systems (previously about $11.7 billion), about $7.9 billion for Communications & Spectrum Dominance (previously about $8 billion) and about $4.1 billion for Missile Solutions, with segment operating margin of low 16%.

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover L3Harris Technologies, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones L3Harris Technologies's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 fiscal 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning LHX is on is LHX a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the LHX forecast, and what the company does is on the L3Harris Technologies (LHX) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document L3Harris Technologies published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
