L3Harris CEO sets up stock sale plan under SEC Rule 10b5-1

L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LHX), a $40 billion aerospace and defense technology company currently trading near its 52-week low, announced on Monday that its CEO, Christopher E. Kubasik, has initiated a pre-arranged stock trading plan in accordance with SEC Rule 10b5-1. This plan allows for the structured sale of company stock.

The plan, established on February 3, 2025, during the company’s open trading window, is designed to facilitate the exercise and sale of employee stock options expiring in February 2027. It pertains to vested options for 35,273 shares granted in February 2017. Sales are set to commence in May 2025 and conclude by June 12, 2025, subject to specified minimum price thresholds.

SEC Rule 10b5-1 permits company insiders to set up predetermined trading plans for selling stocks at a time when they are not in possession of material non-public information. This approach is intended to avoid any potential misuse of insider information and provides a defense against accusations of insider trading.

Kubasik’s current ownership in L3Harris exceeds the company’s stock ownership guidelines. The transactions under this plan will be reported to the public through Form 4 and Form 144 filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

L3Harris Technologies, based in Melbourne, Florida, operates in the aerospace and defense technology sector. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a solid 2.18% dividend yield and has raised its dividend for 23 consecutive years. The company has clarified that, except for periodic filings such as Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, it does not plan to report any further Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by other officers or directors, nor will it report modifications or terminations of any existing plans, including Kubasik’s.

This disclosure is based on the company’s recent SEC filing and reflects the company’s compliance with regulatory requirements regarding executive stock transactions. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued, though 9 analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations downward.
