The transactions related to tax withholding involved the disposition of 22,691 shares at a price of $33.13 per share, totaling approximately $751,752.

Following these transactions, Wallace’s direct ownership of Leonardo DRS stock stands at 55,160 shares.

In other recent news, Leonardo DRS announced the delivery of its first Integrated Voice Communication Systems (IVCS) for the U.S. Navy’s Arleigh Burke DDG51-class destroyers.

This delivery marks a significant milestone in Leonardo DRS’s ongoing partnership with the U.S. Navy, showcasing its commitment to providing advanced communication technologies. Additionally, BTIG analyst Andre Madrid raised the stock target for Leonardo DRS to $40, up from $38, while maintaining a Buy rating.
