About
Dow Inc. is a Midland, Michigan-based global materials science company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: DOW) as a Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Materials component — producing performance materials and coatings (epoxy resins, acrylics, polyurethane systems), industrial intermediates and infrastructure (ethylene oxide, propylene glycol, polyurethanes), and packaging and specialty plastics (polyethylene resins for flexible packaging, agricultural films, and wire/cable jacketing) through approximately 35,000 employees in 31 countries. Dow Inc. was spun off from DowDuPont in April 2019 — one segment of the three-way DowDuPont breakup (Dow materials science, DuPont specialty products, Corteva agriculture) — concentrating Dow on commodity and specialty chemicals where scale and feedstock integration create structural cost advantages over less-integrated competitors. In fiscal year 2024, Dow reported revenues of approximately $44.6 billion, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $5.4 billion — reflecting the materials science cycle's pressure from elevated natural gas and naphtha feedstock costs (European gas prices remaining elevated versus pre-2022 levels), weak downstream demand in construction (polyurethane insulation), automotive (coatings and sealants), and consumer packaging (flexible films). CEO Jim Fitterling leads Dow's strategic transformation toward circularity and carbon neutralization: the Path2Zero program (building the world's first net-zero integrated ethylene cracker in Alberta, Canada — Fort Saskatchewan Decarbonization project — converting existing ethylene production to hydrogen-fired crackers and carbon capture by 2030) positions Dow for the premium pricing that brand owners (Unilever, P&G, Nestlé) will pay for demonstrated low-carbon polyethylene resin to meet their Scope 3 emissions commitments.
Melbourne FL defense electronics (NYSE: LHX) $21.3B FY2024 revenue (+8%); tactical radios, ISR, electronic warfare, JADC2 networks, Falcon radio family competing with Raytheon and Northrop Grumman.
About
L3Harris Technologies, Inc. is a Melbourne, Florida-based defense electronics and technology company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: LHX) as an S&P 500 Industrials component — providing advanced defense electronics, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, communication systems, and aviation products for US and allied defense forces through approximately 47,000 employees across four segments: Integrated Mission Systems (ISR aircraft modifications, electro-optical/infrared systems, maritime patrol aircraft), Space & Airborne Systems (military satellite communications, electronic warfare, precision weapons guidance), Communication Systems (tactical radio communications, night vision devices, public safety communications), and Aerojet Rocketdyne (integrated into L3Harris via investment, pending completion). L3Harris Technologies was formed in June 2019 through the merger of L3 Technologies and Harris Corporation — combining Harris's radio communication and space systems expertise with L3's ISR sensors, aircraft modification, and training systems capabilities to create the sixth-largest US defense contractor by revenue. In fiscal year 2024, L3Harris reported revenues of $21.3 billion (+8% year-over-year), with strong growth driven by JADC2 (Joint All-Domain Command and Control) radio and network programs, F-35 avionics subsystems production, and international NATO ally military communication equipment demand. CEO Christopher Kubasik has focused on margin improvement and portfolio optimization — divesting non-core businesses (commercial aviation training — sold Pilot Training business, Link Simulation & Training to CAE) while investing R&D in the electronic warfare (EW) and space domain awareness capabilities where L3Harris holds differentiated technology advantages.
