Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

ARKX, LHX, TER, AVAV: Large Outflows Detected at ETF

Archer Aviation Inc. ACHR shares have lost 23.5% in the past six months, underperforming the Zacks Aerospace-Defense industry’s growth of 10.4% as well as the broader Zacks Aerospace sector’s gain of 10.5%. It has also lagged the S&P 500’s gain of 10.5% in the same time frame.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
However, a stellar performance can be seen in the share price return of other industry players like Lockheed Martin LMT and L3Harris Technologies LHX, which have witnessed a surge of 46.3% and 29.3%, respectively, in the past six months.
With ACHR shares declining over the past six months, investors may have mixed views. Some may remain cautious, while others may see the decline as an opportunity. Before deciding whether to buy, hold or sell, it is important to review whether the company’s fundamentals support long-term growth or if near-term challenges are likely to persist. Evaluating ACHR’s growth prospects and risks can help in making a well-informed investment decision.
Tailwinds for ACHR
Archer Aviation continues to strengthen its position in the eVTOL market through technology-driven initiatives and international expansion efforts.
In January 2026, Archer Aviation announced plans to develop and deploy next-generation Artificial Intelligence technologies for aviation using NVIDIA’s IGX Thor platform. The company intends to use Physical AI to improve aircraft safety, airspace integration and autonomy-ready systems. Archer Aviation plans to demonstrate this NVIDIA-enabled technology at its recently acquired Hawthorne Airport facility in central Los Angeles, which is expected to serve as the operating base for its planned Los Angeles air taxi network as well as a testing site for AI-based aviation solutions.
In the same month, Archer Aviation entered into a strategic partnership with the Government of the Republic of Serbia, which is seeking to support the adoption of electric air taxis across Europe. Under this agreement, Serbia named ACHR as its preferred eVTOL partner and holds an option to purchase an initial fleet of Midnight aircraft. The arrangement allows for the purchase of up to 25 aircraft, subject to regulatory and legal approvals, marking a key step in Archer Aviation’s expansion into the European urban air mobility market.
Risks to Watch
While Archer Aviation shows near-term potential, its long-term outlook remains uncertain. The eVTOL industry is still in its early stages, and the company’s success will depend on its ability to design, certify and scale production as the market evolves. The pace of industry development and the level of demand for eVTOL aircraft will play a key role in shaping results. In addition, concerns around safety, noise levels and affordability could affect public acceptance and may constrain broader adoption.
Earnings Estimates for ACHR
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ACHR’s 2026 loss indicates a year-over-year improvement of 12.6%.

The consensus estimates for its 2026 loss have remained the same over the past 60 days.

ACHR Shares Are Trading at a Discount
ACHR stock is trading at a discount, with its trailing 12-month Price/Book (P/B TTM) being 2.87X compared with its industry average of 6.98X.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Its industry peer, L3Harris Technologies, is also trading at a discount. LHX is trading at a P/B TTM of 3.33X. However, Lockheed Martin is trading at a P/B TTM of 21.35X.
Liquidity Position of ACHR
ACHR has a current ratio of 18.20. The ratio, being more than one, indicates that the company possesses sufficient capital to pay off its short-term debt obligations.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Its industry peers, Lockheed Martin and L3Harris Technologies, also maintain current ratios above one. LMT has a current ratio of 1.09, while LHX holds 1.19.
What Should an Investor Do?
Archer Aviation offers a mixed investment outlook at current levels. While the stock’s discounted valuation, stable earnings estimates and strong liquidity provide some support, uncertainty remains due to the early stage of the eVTOL industry and execution risks related to certification and production scale-up. As a result, existing investors may consider holding the stock while tracking the company’s progress on technology development, partnerships and regulatory approvals. New investors may prefer to wait for clearer signs of sustained commercial momentum.
ACHR currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

ACHR Underperforms Industry in the Past 6 Months: Time to Buy or Hold?

Investors in L3Harris Technologies Inc (Symbol: LHX) saw new options begin trading today, for the March 27th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the LHX options chain for the new March 27th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $345.00 strike price has a current bid of $12.00. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $345.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $333.00 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of LHX, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $346.90/share today.
Because the $345.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 56%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.48% return on the cash commitment, or 25.41% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for L3Harris Technologies Inc, and highlighting in green where the $345.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $350.00 strike price has a current bid of $11.90. If an investor was to purchase shares of LHX stock at the current price level of $346.90/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $350.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 4.32% if the stock gets called away at the March 27th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if LHX shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for L3Harris Technologies Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing LHX's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $350.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $350.00 strike represents an approximate 1% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 50%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.43% boost of extra return to the investor, or 25.06% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 30%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 29%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $346.90) to be 23%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

LHX March 27th Options Begin Trading

As global defense spending increases amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, companies such as AeroVironment, Inc. AVAV and L3Harris Technologies, Inc. LHX are drawing greater investor interest. Rising investments in unmanned systems, satellite communications, space hardware, cyber defense and advanced weapons are creating favorable conditions for both companies.
AeroVironment specializes in unmanned aerial systems and also provides space-qualified hardware designed for operations in geosynchronous, medium and low Earth orbits, as well as cislunar missions. In contrast, L3Harris is a diversified defense contractor with strong capabilities in communications, space systems, electronic warfare and tactical networks. Its larger operating scale allows it to deliver integrated solutions across multiple defense domains.
As governments continue to strengthen their defense capabilities with next-generation technologies, both AVAV and LHX are well-positioned to benefit. The next step is to compare their fundamentals and growth prospects to see which stock offers the more compelling investment opportunity.
Key Takeaways for AVAV
AVAV continues to expand its defense footprint through new contracts and technology-driven initiatives. In January 2026, the U.S. Air Force awarded UES, a division of AeroVironment, a $75 million task order under the Functional Responsive Experimentation for Systems and Humans (FRESH) program. The award supports the development of next-generation biotechnology and materials science, aimed at modernizing defense systems at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
Earlier in the month, AeroVironment also strengthened its presence in advanced airspace operations. The company, in partnership with CAL Analytics, completed the installation and initial operation of a new Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) airspace management facility at the National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence in Ohio. This project highlights AVAV’s progress in enabling safe, scalable, autonomous and advanced air mobility operations, further reinforcing its long-term growth potential in defense and emerging aerospace technologies.
Key Takeaways for LHX
L3Harris Technologies has maintained solid momentum through a combination of financial growth and recent defense program milestones. The company recently reported its fourth-quarter 2025 results, with revenues rising to $5.65 billion from $5.52 billion a year ago, reflecting a 2.4% increase. Earnings per share improved to $2.86 from $2.60, representing 10.0% year-over-year growth, supported by steady demand across its defense portfolio.
L3Harris delivered the first MC-55A aircraft to the U.S. Air Force in January 2026, following successful integration and mission system testing for Australia’s Peregrine program. The aircraft will support the Royal Australian Air Force by providing advanced electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for multi-domain operations alongside allied forces.
Moreover, L3Harris secured a contract from LIG Nex1 to supply the next-generation imaging payload for South Korea’s GEO-KOMPSAT-5 geostationary weather satellite. The 18-channel meteorological imager is expected to enhance weather forecasting accuracy and timeliness over the Korean Peninsula, further highlighting LHX’s strength in space-based sensing and mission-critical technologies.
How do EPS Estimates Compare for AVAV & LHX?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AVAV’s fiscal 2026 earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $3.46, indicating growth of 5.5% from the prior-year quarter. Its consensus estimate for revenues is pinned at $2.00 billion, implying growth of 143.4%. The company’s fiscal 2026 EPS estimates have moved south over the past 60 days.

For LHX, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 EPS is pegged at $12.39, indicating year-over-year growth of 16.3%. Its consensus estimate for revenues is pinned at $23.40 billion, showing growth of 6.5%. The company’s 2026 EPS estimates have remained the same over the past 60 days.

Stock Price Performance: AVAV vs. LHX
LHX has outperformed AVAV over the past three months. Shares of LHX gained 23.1% against AVAV’s 20.8% decline.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
LHX’s Valuation More Attractive Than AVAV
AVAV shares trade at a forward 12-month Price/Sales (P/S F12M) multiple of 6.47X compared with LHX’s P/S F12M of 2.83X, making LHX relatively more attractive from a valuation standpoint.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Conclusion
Both AVAV and LHX are positioned to benefit from rising global defense spending and increased investment in advanced military technologies. AeroVironment continues to build momentum through new contracts and progress in unmanned systems and advanced airspace solutions, supporting its long-term growth potential.
L3Harris stands out as the stronger stock. Its diversified business across multiple defense domains, steady financial performance, large international programs and more attractive valuation offer greater stability and visibility. For investors looking for a balanced mix of growth, reliability and long-term value in the defense sector, LHX appears better placed to benefit from the ongoing defense spending cycle.
LHX currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while AVAV carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

L3Harris Q4 Earnings Surpass Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/Y

L3Harris Technologies Q4 25 Earnings Conference Call At 10:30 AM ET

L3Harris (LHX) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.86 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.76 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.47 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.57%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this technology and communications company would post earnings of $2.56 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.7, delivering a surprise of +5.47%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
L3Harris, which belongs to the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry, posted revenues of $5.65 billion for the quarter ended December 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.63%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $5.52 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
L3Harris shares have added about 22.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.9%.
What's Next for L3Harris?
While L3Harris has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for L3Harris was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.73 on $5.47 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $12.39 on $23.4 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Aerospace - Defense is currently in the top 35% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Huntington Ingalls (HII), has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2025. The results are expected to be released on February 5.
This shipbuilder is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.72 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.6% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
Huntington Ingalls' revenues are expected to be $3.06 billion, up 1.8% from the year-ago quarter.
