L3Harris Technologies climbed roughly 5.5% to $278.20 in after-hours trading, a move that is uncommon for a defense name of this size.

After hours, the stock peaked near $279.70 before settling around the $278 level, so the initial burst of enthusiasm was quickly tested.
The key question heading into the next regular session is whether the $278 level holds when the full market opens and broader volume returns.
