L3Harris reported Q3 2025 orders of $6.7 billion, revenue of $5.7 billion (up 7%) and a 1.2x book‑to‑bill, and raised full‑year guidance. CEO Chris Kubasik said the government shutdown is delaying awards but expects several Pentagon decisions — including a potential missile‑defense award — before year‑end.

Briefing
L3Harris posted strong commercial results: $6.7B in orders, $5.7B revenue (+7%) and a 1.2x book‑to‑bill ratio, and raised 2025 guidance — an earnings momentum echoed by other primes, including Lockheed Martin's recent outlook increase.
Award timing is the principal near‑term risk: the month‑long U.S. government shutdown is delaying contract decisions; management expects multiple Pentagon award decisions once the shutdown ends in November and flagged a possible U.S. missile‑defense award before year‑end.
Timing affects program startups and production ramps; L3Harris is already moving select defense technologies toward scale (see its recent plans to scale hybrid satcom radio production), so award delays can shift revenue recognition and supply‑chain schedules.
