Honeywell International Inc. (HON)

The company now

Honeywell reported third-quarter 2026 sales of $4,994 million on 22 October, up 1 percent from $4,929 million a year earlier 1.

It was the first quarter as a standalone automation company, after Honeywell Aerospace became a separate company on 29 June 2026 12.

Chief executive Vimal Kapur said organic sales growth of 7 percent, which leaves out currency moves, sold businesses and new acquisitions, was above the three-year target set at the June Investor Day 1.

Operating income rose 79 percent to $740 million, which the company credits to productivity, including the removal of stranded costs left by earlier spin-offs and divestitures 1.

Earnings per share from continuing operations fell 20 percent to $2.40, mainly because the prior year held a one-time gain from the Resideo termination agreement 1.

The company now expects 2026 sales of $20.0 billion to $20.1 billion, up from $19.8 billion to $20.0 billion before, and 5 to 6 percent organic growth in the fourth quarter 1.

The open question is debt: finance chief Mike Stepniak said gross debt should fall from $18 billion in the second quarter to under $13 billion by the end of this year, Manufacturing Dive reported 5.
