Is L3Harris Technologies stock undervalued or overvalued?

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

L3Harris Technologies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.813. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks 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 stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

L3Harris Technologies stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 35.72% of net profits

Recently L3Harris Technologies has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% 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 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In L3Harris Technologies's case, that would currently equate to about $4.62 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 5 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 17 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your L3Harris Technologies stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 5.5% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for L3Harris Technologies stocks, which in turn could have impacted L3Harris Technologies's stock price.
