Honeywell International

Honeywell traces its roots to 1885 with Albert Butz's firm, Butz Thermo-Electric Regulator, which produced a predecessor to the modern thermostat. Other inventions by Honeywell include biodegradable detergent and autopilot. Today, Honeywell is a global multi-industry behemoth with one of the largest installed bases of equipment. It operates through four business segments: aerospace technologies (37% of 2023 company revenue), industrial automation (29%), energy and sustainability solutions (17%), and building automation (17%). Recently, Honeywell has made several portfolio changes to focus on fewer end markets and align with a set of secular growth trends. The firm is working diligently to expand its installed base, deriving around 30% of its revenue from recurring aftermarket services.

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Nexceris, a leader in clean energy innovation, has sold its Li-ion Tamer&#xAE; off-gas monitoring solution to Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>). Li-ion Tamer&#xAE; is the industry's premier technology for preventing thermal runaway events in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.
This strategic transaction enables Nexceris to focus on related breakthrough technologies across numerous energy markets through advanced materials and component-level products. It also allows Li-ion Tamer&#xAE; as part of Honeywell's leading fire life safety portfolio within its Building Automation business. Building on its existing partnership with Honeywell, the sale also highlights Nexceris' strategy to commercialize technology in packaged products that are ultimately licensed or acquired by industrial partners.
Looking ahead, Nexceris intends to deploy products across catalyst, electric vehicles (EV), and electrochemical applications through its commercial brands fuelcellmaterials&nbsp;and HeatPath Solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nexceris' collaborative model combines client technology with the company's scientific and engineering expertise, helping accelerate commercialization and deliver measurable results.

News

Nexceris Sells Its Li-Ion Tamer Off-Gas Monitoring Solution To Honeywell

BofAmerica Securities analyst Andrew Obin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HON/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained a Buy</a> on Honeywell International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) and increased the price target from $250 to $275 on Monday.
Obin noted Honeywell as a top pick heading into second-quarter 2025 earnings, with expectations for a beat-and-raise quarter that could push the stock higher. Despite multiple expansions, Honeywell shares continue to trade at a discount of approximately 12% on an EV/EBITDA basis relative to peers, suggesting room for further re-rating, as per the analyst.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45967745/honeywell-near-earth-autonomy-test-pilot-free-helicopter-for-faster-safer-marine-supply" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Honeywell, Near Earth Autonomy Test Pilot-Free Helicopter For Faster, Safer Marine Supply</a>
Notably, Honeywell entered 2025 with one of the most conservative earnings guides in the sector, forecasting a sharp slowdown in short-cycle segments during the second quarter and the second half of the year, he said. However, according to Obin, recent management conversations, updated macro indicators such as manufacturing PMIs and internal channel checks all point to resilience across key end markets.
The analyst noted the short-cycle collapse Honeywell anticipated is unlikely to materialize, adding that Honeywell is positioned to surprise to the upside in the second quarter and guide conservatively but positively for the third quarter. In his view, the company&#8217;s guidance remains too cautious in areas like Building Automation, where implied deceleration appears overly pessimistic, and Industrial Automation, which would require a significant macro deterioration to justify the current outlook.
Following Obin&#8217;s recent meeting with Honeywell at the Paris Air Show, the analyst came away with increased confidence in the company&#8217;s execution. He highlighted management&#8217;s broad confidence across verticals and confirmed they had implemented list price increases tied to general inflation rather than just tariff pass-throughs. He noted that development is incrementally positive and suggests stronger-than-expected pricing could support margins in upcoming quarters.
Obin&#8217;s model forecasts second-quarter earnings of $2.65 per share, within Honeywell&#8217;s guided range of $2.60–$2.70. This reflects +1.7% organic growth and 10 basis points of year-over-year margin contraction, mainly due to CAES integration in Aerospace. 
For the third quarter, the analyst estimated $2.50 per share earnings, slightly below the $2.53 consensus. However, Honeywell issues a guidance range that brackets its internal estimates and Street expectations. Based on his conversations, the analyst does not believe management intends to guide in a way that lowers consensus.
While some investors have expressed concern over Honeywell&#8217;s muted sum-of-the-parts valuation, Obin noted the company&#8217;s second-quarter earnings report will act as a positive catalyst. Pricing dynamics, better-than-expected volumes, and the neutral-to-positive impact of tariffs should provide earnings momentum, even if the macro backdrop remains mixed, as per the analyst.
M&amp;A activity under new CEO Vimal Kapur also deserves attention, he noted.
Honeywell closed several acquisitions while divesting its Safety/PP&amp;E business. The analyst estimated these portfolio moves have structurally added about 70 basis points of growth to Honeywell&#8217;s total and 110 basis points to Honeywell Automation. While the benefits of these deals haven&#8217;t yet fully shown up in reported earnings, he expects the margin uplift and growth acceleration to become more visible as acquired businesses scale and normalize within the cycle.
Additionally, the company began 2025 with a record $35.8 billion backlog, up 11% year over year, which further increased to $36.1 billion in the first quarter, Obin noted. The analyst said performance obligations improved across all business segments from the fourth quarter to the first quarter, and backlog coverage rose in Industrial Automation while remaining stable elsewhere. All segments except Aerospace now show higher next 12-month backlog coverage versus a year ago, the analyst noted, indicating a solid foundation for forward revenue visibility.
Obin remained optimistic about Honeywell&#8217;s full-year outlook and noted the company&#8217;s upcoming second-quarter print as a key moment to reassert its position among industrial leaders. 
The analyst concluded that the combination of conservative guidance, stronger pricing, improving volumes and strategic M&amp;A suggests Honeywell is set up for positive estimate revisions and multiple expansion through the back half of 2025.
HON Price Action: Honeywell stock was trading higher by 1% to $238.42 at publication on Monday.

Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell maintains Honeywell Intl (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $258 to $265.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Honeywell Intl, Raises Price Target to $265

Honeywell Intl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NYSE">HON</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.17% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.37 million shares sold short, which is 0.99% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.62 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Honeywell Intl has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Honeywell Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Honeywell Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.91%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

$1000 Invested In Honeywell Intl 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) announced Monday that it is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46291891/honeywell-to-evaluate-strategic-alternatives-for-productivity-solutions-and-services-and-warehouse" rel="noreferrer noopener">weighing strategic options</a> for two of its logistics-focused business units, part of an ongoing restructuring designed to streamline operations ahead of a major corporate split slated for 2026.
Honeywell is exploring potential paths for its Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) units, both of which cater to the transportation and logistics sectors. These deliberations come as the company positions itself to emerge as a dedicated automation player following the planned separation of its aerospace and materials divisions.
Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of the company, said the move aligns with Honeywell&#8217;s goal of sharpening its focus on industrial, process, and building automation. Once the spin-offs are complete, Honeywell aims to concentrate exclusively on markets with robust long-term growth prospects.

PSS, which brought in more than $1 billion in revenue last year, provides mobile computing and barcode solutions for warehouses. WWS, which operates under the Intelligrated and Transnorm brands, generated nearly $1 billion in 2024 through supply chain automation tools such as sortation systems, robotics, and conveyor systems. Both units boast established customer bases and wide-ranging product portfolios.
Although the company hasn&#8217;t committed to a specific outcome, the review process will run concurrently with Honeywell&#8217;s broader corporate reshaping. It won&#8217;t impact existing plans to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/24/12/42505835/honeywell-advances-strategic-review-explores-aerospace-business-separation" rel="noreferrer noopener">spin off</a> the Solstice Advanced Materials business by early 2026 and the aerospace division in the second half of the same year.
As part of the restructuring, Honeywell also appointed Jim Masso to lead its process automation division, effective July 14. Masso, a seasoned executive with two decades of experience across energy and industrial sectors, most recently served as CEO of Allied Power Group and held key leadership roles at General Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>).

Price Action: HON shares are trading higher by 0.39% to $240.29 premarket at last check Tuesday.

Following a series of sobering near-miss incidents in U.S. airports, most recently when a Southwest Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) plane came close to departing from a taxiway in Orlando, air carriers are focusing now on what could be the most priceless upgrade since in-flight Wi-Fi: cockpit alerts that scream at pilots before they undertake something disastrous.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/46151058/jpmorgans-new-etf-smashes-records-with-2-billion-kick-off">JPMorgan&#8217;s New ETF Smashes Records With $2 Billion Kick Off</a>
At the forefront of this air safety upgrade is Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>), which has created a Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) that&#8217;s now in use across almost all of Southwest&#8217;s 800-strong Boeing 737 fleet, according to WSJ. And although this upgrade is, first and foremost, about ensuring passengers and crew are safe, it also represents a possible investment opportunity few are discussing: a boost in demand for avionics and safety technology, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that contain them</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wake-Up Call In The Cockpit</h2>
Honeywell&#8217;s system provides real-time voice and text alerts when pilots make hazardous maneuvers, such as turning onto an incorrect runway, landing too rapidly, or trying to take off from a taxiway. 
It&#8217;s not only Southwest becoming serious about safety. Other airlines such as Alaska Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>) are bringing the system on board as well, with Airbus and Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) allegedly working on their own in-house alert systems. With the FAA considering new proposals to mandate safety alerts on new planes, and potentially retrofits in the future, this might be only the start.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The ETF Angle: Follow The Beep</h2>
A number of large ETFs already provide exposure to aviation safety vendors such as Honeywell, and if the industry experiences an upgrade supercycle, these funds could be winners:
iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>): Top holding is Honeywell, followed by Boeing and Raytheon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>). Traces defense and aerospace production companies, including safety systems and avionics.
Up 29% YTD, ITA may experience additional tailwinds if cockpit safety standards become an international standard.
SPDR S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XAR#NYSE">XAR</a>): Equal-weighted, providing more widespread exposure to mid-cap stocks that might include specialty avionics providers.
Comprises participants on next-gen safety software, hardware, and even autonomous flight system development.
Global X Future Analytics Tech ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): Not aerospace-focused, but exposed to companies embedding AI in safety and risk-reduction systems. 
As cockpit notifications become more sophisticated with AI-based pattern recognition, funds such as AIQ might soon be cleared for takeoff.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Now?</h2>
Let&#8217;s link the dots:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Increasing pilot shortages translate into more dependence on safety technology.</li>
<li>Busy airports and tighter flight schedules raise the margin for error.</li>
<li>High-profile accidents (such as the Air Canada near-miss at San Francisco or the 2006 Comair crash) are spurring regulators and carriers into action.</li>
<li>Public perception: Airlines are keen to demonstrate that they&#8217;re spending money on safety amid growing concern.</li>
</ul>
In short, the cockpit alert boom is not merely a safety tale, it&#8217;s a story about tech adoption, and in the markets, that&#8217;s where the actual jet fuel resides.
For the moment, cockpit warnings might be barking alarms within aircraft, but shareholders might find themselves tuning in as well. Aviation safety technology is taking to the skies quietly, and the ETFs that have exposure to it could be up next for a smooth ride.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">On The Cusp Of A Golden Cross</h1>
Honeywell's 50-day simple moving average (SMA) sits at $215.17, edging close to crossing above the 200-day average at $215.40. Although short-term signals like the eight-day SMA ($224.00) and 20-day SMA ($225.14) suggest some near-term selling pressure, longer-term indicators are more optimistic.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Shakeup Powers Investor Interest</h1>
This technical setup aligns neatly with Honeywell's ongoing transformation. The company is deep into a major portfolio restructuring, carving itself into three independent, publicly traded firms by mid-2026. Following the <a href="https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/press/2025/03/honeywell-announces-leadership-team-and-company-name-for-advanced-materials-spin-off">planned spin-off</a> of its Advanced Materials division, Honeywell aims to sharpen focus on its core strengths: Automation, Aerospace Technologies, and Energy Transition.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Flying High With Aerospace Innovation</h1>
Honeywell is also revving up in aerospace, expanding its <a href="https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/press/2025/01/honeywell-and-nxp-expand-partnership-to-accelerate-next-generation-aviation-technology">partnership</a> with NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) to accelerate autonomous flight tech.

The Golden Cross isn't just a technical blip — it could be a subtle signal that Honeywell's evolving business strategy is starting to resonate with the market. If the cross completes and the stock sustains above key moving averages, investors might see this as a cue that Honeywell is ready to take off after a period of sideways action.
With its diversified portfolio focused on high-growth megatrends and a clearer business structure on the horizon, Honeywell's golden cross could mark the beginning of a new chapter in shareholder returns.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

BofA Securities analyst Andrew Obin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/industrials-sector" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hosted investor meetings</a> at the Paris Air Show with Honeywell International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>), Eaton Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>), Parker-Hannifin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), Ametek Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AME#NYSE">AME</a>), and ITT Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITT#NYSE">ITT</a>).
All the companies the analyst met with were bullish on increased defense momentum, particularly in Europe.
He said companies were broadly constructive on the cycle from both an original equipment ramp standpoint and sustained aftermarket momentum, with many citing a boost from retrofits, modifications, and upgrades (RMU).
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45967745/honeywell-near-earth-autonomy-test-pilot-free-helicopter-for-faster-safer-marine-supply" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Honeywell, Near Earth Autonomy Test Pilot-Free Helicopter For Faster, Safer Marine Supply</a>
Obin said that conversations focused on sources of outgrowth and margin expansion (on margin, particularly for Parker-Hannifin and Eaton).
According to the analyst, original equipment pricing is clearly a lever for certain companies, including Eaton and ITT.
Obin maintained Buy ratings on Honeywell, Parker-Hannifin, Eaton Corp, Ametek and ITT.
Honeywell: Obin noted that the industry outlook supports Honeywell&#8217;s medium-term target for mid-to-high single-digit aerospace industry growth. 
The analyst noted that the aftermarket is the key area to enable outgrowth relative to the market. The company is sticking with its framework on margins (e.g., long-term 29% aerospace margins) but being conservative near-term. Investors are prioritizing growth over margins, as per Obin.
Eaton Corp.: The analyst&#8217;s meeting with Eaton focused on the company&#8217;s margin expansion targets, accelerating military spending and sources of commercial outgrowth. 
Volume leverage and original equipment (OE) pricing are likely the key enablers to reach 27% aerospace margins by 2030E (versus 23% in 2024), Obin said. 
The company has expanded its aerospace portfolio from historical hydraulics and fuel systems with recent acquisitions, and the recent Ultra deal adds more complementary technologies and increases military exposure, he noted.
Parker-Hannifin: Obin noted after the meeting that Parker-Hannifin is confident in its margin trajectory into fiscal 2026 and beyond and that aerospace should continue to be a source of outperformance versus the market and peers. 
In the near term, macro seems stable without an inflection or deterioration in the industrial environment, as per the analyst. On the margin, he noted that the M&amp;A environment remains tight with challenging valuations.
Ametek: Obin noted that Ametek is very bullish on increased military spending in Europe and may add capacity in Eastern Europe in the long term (more brownfield than greenfield facilities). It has a relatively balanced portfolio between aftermarket and OE. 
The analyst said the defense part of the business has grown faster in recent years on a relative basis. By end market, he estimated roughly 60% of the company is defense, 10% business and general aviation, and air transport. Obin noted that Ametek is well-positioned to capitalize on increased defense budgets. He was impressed by the company&#8217;s flexible business model, which gives unit leaders control over their P&amp;Ls, as demonstrated in his meeting.
ITT: Obin noted OE is a larger portion of ITT&#8217;s business. The business is split between interior (e.g., hydraulics for seats) and control surfaces as the two main pieces, as per the analyst. He said the control surfaces are more comparable to Parker-Hannifin and Eaton&#8217;s businesses. 
Obin added that interior demand is driven by the refresh cycle, and control surface demand is driven by flight hours. He said the company is very bullish on military spending. 
On Commercial OE, ITT is slowly seeing Boeing orders return after a period of destocking and expects more regularity in the third or fourth quarter, the analyst said.
Obin said that the aero business is getting increased capital within ITT (e.g., the recent kSaria acquisition). The analyst noted that once the price increases roll through, this should yield a fairly immediate impact on Boeing&#8217;s business price or margins, which are $10 million per quarter. ITT expects price increases to be a large margin driver in the future for this segment, he said. Obin added that ITT continues to demonstrate the class&#8217;s best culture and operating system.
Price Actions: Honeywell stock was trading lower by 0.36% to $221.08, Eaton stock is down 0.87% at $331.95, Parker-Hannifin stock is down 0.17% at $651.15, Ametek was down 0.56% at $176.76, and ITT stock was down 0.36% at $150.12 on Friday at publication.

Honeywell, ITT, Eaton See Bright Outlook As BofA Securities Cites Military Spending, Aftermarket Growth

As broader U.S. equity funds suffered their largest weekly outflow of $18.43 billion since March this week, according to LSEG Lipper as cited by Reuters, one corner of the market quietly shined: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">sector ETFs</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Technology ETFs: Betting On Resilience And AI Tailwinds</h3>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
