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.

<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/">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 grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more 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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Honeywell Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.46%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Qualcomm To Provide Connectivity Products And AI-Enabled Chipsets To Honeywell For Various Industrial Applications

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) shares are trading higher on Friday. The company has agreed to sell its Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) business to Protective Industrial Products, Inc. (PIP) for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42135452/honeywell-to-sell-personal-protective-equipment-business-to-protective-industrial-products" rel="noreferrer noopener">$1.325 billion in an all-cash deal</a>.
This move aligns with Honeywell&#8217;s strategy to streamline its portfolio, focusing on core businesses and pursuing high-return acquisitions that support its three key megatrends: automation, the future of aviation, and energy transition.
This sale follows Honeywell&#8217;s 2021 divestiture of its Lifestyle and Performance Footwear Business to Rocky Brands for $230 million, marking the company&#8217;s exit from the PPE sector.
However, Honeywell will retain its gas detection portfolio within the Industrial Automation segment.
The sale of the PPE business is expected to close in the first half of 2025, pending customary conditions.
Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell said, &#8221;Now with this transaction, the business will be positioned to accelerate its growth trajectory as it benefits from Odyssey&#8217;s historic investing in the PPE sector and scaling similar businesses&nbsp;to expand into new products, geographies and end markets.&#8221;
&#8220;As we continue to simplify and optimize Honeywell&#8217;s portfolio, the sale of the PPE business will enable us to further strengthen our core business in alignment with our three compelling megatrends.&#8221;
&#8221;The combination of today&#8217;s announcement, with the strategic acquisitions we have made over the past year, positions us to continue to drive profitable growth and strong cash generation while creating compelling long-term value for our shareowners.&#8221;
Last month, Honeywell announced a plan to spin off its Advanced Materials business into an independent, U.S. publicly traded company, which is targeted to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41223435/honeywell-announces-plan-to-spin-off-advanced-materials-business-to-shareowners" rel="noreferrer noopener">completed by the end of 2025 or early 2026.</a>
Honeywell held cash and equivalents of about&nbsp;$10.6 billion as of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41516652/honeywells-mixed-q3-eps-beats-misses-on-sales-and-lowers-fy24-revenue-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">September 30, 2024</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIVO#NYSE">DIVO</a>) and&nbsp;Invesco Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPA#NYSE">PPA</a>).
Price Action: HON shares are up 1.01% at $228.38 at the last check Friday.

&#8220;The conglomerate structure that once suited Honeywell no longer does, and the time has come to embrace simplification,&#8221; the activist said in its letter to the board.
Elliott is pushing Honeywell to consider a separation of its Aerospace and Automation businesses as it believes the units would benefit from simplified strategies, focused management and improved capital allocation as independent entities. The activist believes a separation could result in share price gains of 51% to 75% over the next two years. 
&#8220;While shareholders have long hoped for a separation, the current environment presents a distinctly attractive opportunity to do so. We are of course aware that Honeywell has considered the idea of simplification in the past. However,&nbsp;what makes the current situation different is the sheer amount of value that Honeywell can create by pursuing simplification now,&#8221; Elliott said. 
Elliott believes both businesses would be valued at more than $100 billion on their own. Honeywelll had a market cap of approximately $146 billion as of Monday&#8217;s close, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. The firm&#8217;s bear case for Honeywell after potential separation is $330 by the end of 2026, while the bull case for potential separation is $383 by the end of 2026. 
&#8220;This level of value creation would be profound for any company, let alone one of Honeywell&#8217;s size. However, history would indicate that these assumptions might ultimately prove too conservative,&#8221; the activist said.

Honeywell Intl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NYSE">HON</a>) short percent of float has risen 20.59% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.97 million shares sold short, which is 1.23% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.66 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/">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.

<h3>Honeywell Intl Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730220317_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Honeywell Intl has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more 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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Honeywell Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.41%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Hold Recommendation for Honeywell International Amidst Competitive Challenges and Stable Margins

As global economic activity ramps, industrial stocks stand out as a beacon of recovery. Therefore, investors looking to capitalize on this trend of growth and stability might consider industrial stocks such as Honeywell International (HON), Franklin Electric (FELE), and Gorman-Rupp (GRC) as ideal buys. Read on… The industrial sector is gaining momentum as global economic recovery takes shape, driven by infrastructure investments, onshoring, and increasing manufacturing activity. The adoption of advanced technologies like AI, machine learning, and smart devices is also one of the reasons why industrial stocks are well-positioned for growth.
Amid this backdrop, investors looking to invest in the industrial sector might consider stocks like Honeywell International Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/HON/">HON</a>), Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/FELE/">FELE</a>), and The Gorman-Rupp Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GRC/">GRC</a>), which are well-positioned in this economic recovery environment.
