Weekly CEO & CFO Move Wrap
Michelle Turner steps aside as L3Harris (NYSE: LHX) CFO as Ken Bedingfield steps in. Ms. Turner came in after LHX’s most recent recovery from a stock price dip during the pandemic, but has seen the stock drop ~4% over her nearly 2 years there (-2.3% annualized). Since hitting an all-time high in March of 2022, LHX has been on a relatively steady decline. However, LHX surged in the past month to over $200 and investors will be wondering whether the new executive team (CEO Kubasik is only 2.5 years on the job) can make the turnaround stick. In part, investors will be bolstered by the recent cooperation agreement with D.E. Shaw that put Kirk Hachigian and William Swanson on the board effective as of the start of December.
