L3Harris Technologies Inc Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Starting from first-quarter 2022, L3Harris Technologies has three reportable segments:
Integrated Mission Systems: Net revenues in the segment came in at $1,673 million, down 6.6% year over year, on account of lower aircraft procurement and delivery volume.

Space and Airborne Systems: The segment recorded net revenues of $1,498 million in the second quarter, down 0.8% year over year.
