Valuing L3Harris Technologies stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of L3Harris Technologies's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
L3Harris Technologies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, L3Harris Technologies shares trade at around 25x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
L3Harris Technologies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.1659. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into L3Harris Technologies's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
L3Harris Technologies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is USD$3.6 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a L3Harris Technologies's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 2.3 million L3Harris Technologies shares held short by investors – that's known as L3Harris Technologies's "short interest". This figure is 6.9% up from 2.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting L3Harris Technologies shares can be evaluated.
L3Harris Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of L3Harris Technologies shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of L3Harris Technologies shares traded daily (recently around 1.4 million). L3Harris Technologies's SIR currently stands at 1.6. In other words for every 100,000 L3Harris Technologies shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1600 shares are currently held short.
However L3Harris Technologies's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of L3Harris Technologies shares, or, against the total number of tradable L3Harris Technologies shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case L3Harris Technologies's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 L3Harris Technologies shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.011% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable L3Harris Technologies shares, roughly 11 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against L3Harris Technologies.

Dividend payout ratio: 30.75% of net profits
Recently L3Harris Technologies has paid out, on average, around 30.75% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.19% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), L3Harris Technologies shareholders could enjoy a 2.19% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In L3Harris Technologies's case, that would currently equate to about $3 per share.
While L3Harris Technologies's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that L3Harris Technologies may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
L3Harris Technologies's most recent dividend payout was on 4 December 2020. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
L3Harris Technologies's shares were split on a 10000:9448 basis on 11 May 2009. So if you had owned 9448 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your L3Harris Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for L3Harris Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted L3Harris Technologies's share price.
Over the last 12 months, L3Harris Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $140.1263 up to $207.8735. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while L3Harris Technologies's is 0.7465. This would suggest that L3Harris Technologies's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
