Sam Mehta becomes CEO; Kubasik departs for Code of Conduct violation; L3Harris reaffirms 2026 guidance

L3Harris executed a planned leadership transition with Sam Mehta, president of the company's two largest segments (SMS and CSD, 80% of revenue), assuming the CEO role immediately, while former CEO Christopher Kubasik resigned following a board-led investigation into conduct violations unrelated to financial reporting or operations. The board promoted Lewis Hay III to Independent Chairman and elevated two division presidents to lead SMS and CSD. L3Harris reaffirmed all 2026 guidance metrics, signaling operational stability through the transition.
