Price history
About
Honeywell Technologies (Honeywell) makes automation products, software and services for buildings, industrial plants and the process industries. The legal name of the company is still Honeywell International Inc. It has three segments. Building Automation sells fire, security, access and building control systems and services.
Process Automation and Technology sells control systems for refineries, chemical plants and LNG plants, process technology licenses and catalysts. Industrial Automation sells sensors, gas detection, safety products and smart meters for utilities. In Q3 2026, Building Automation gave $2,020 million, Process Automation and Technology $1,859 million and Industrial Automation $1,115 million of sales of $4,994 million. Honeywell became a pure automation company after two spin-offs: Solstice Advanced Materials on October 30, 2025 and Honeywell Aerospace on June 29, 2026.
It also owns 48% of the quantum computing company Quantinuum, which became a public company on June 4, 2026. Honeywell has more than 50,000 employees, and its shares trade on Nasdaq. The head office is in Charlotte, North Carolina. Vimal Kapur is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Thesis
Honeywell trades above its intrinsic value because investors pay for its new focus on automation after the spin-offs, its cost cuts and its stake in Quantinuum. In Q3 2026, its first quarter as a pure automation company, organic sales rose 7%, the segment margin rose to 21.3% from 17.6%, and adjusted EPS rose 34% to $2.27. Honeywell raised its 2026 guidance for adjusted EPS to $8.40 to $8.45.
For the shares to earn this price, three things must be true. Organic sales growth must stay near 5% or more, with demand from LNG, refining and building projects. The segment margin must keep rising as Honeywell removes the costs that the spin-offs left behind.
Process Automation and Technology must recover its margin, which fell to 22.2% in Q3 2026 after the acquisition of the Catalyst Technologies business of Johnson Matthey. The Q4 2026 report, expected in late January 2027, with the first guidance for 2027, is the next test. Slower industrial demand or a fall in the value of Quantinuum can make the premium hard to keep.

Risks
- Sales of Process Automation and Technology and Industrial Automation depend on capital spending by refineries, chemical plants, LNG plants, factories and utilities. A slowdown in industrial activity can lower orders. In Q3 2026, sales of products in Industrial Automation did not grow, partly because utilities delayed smart meter deployments.
- Honeywell changed a lot in one year, with two spin-offs, the sale of two businesses and new acquisitions. It must remove the costs that the spin-offs left behind, and it has only one quarterly report as a pure automation company.
- Honeywell owns 48% of Quantinuum. The fair value of the stake was $6,173 million at September 30, 2026, below its carrying value of $7,113 million. Quantinuum has losses, and Honeywell recorded equity losses of $147 million in Q3 2026. The price of Quantinuum shares can move a lot.
- Debt was $16.6 billion at September 30, 2026, and $6.2 billion of it was due within 12 months, including $2.4 billion of commercial paper and other short-term borrowings.
- Honeywell Aerospace took over the environmental liabilities of some old sites at the spin-off, and Honeywell removed $828 million of these liabilities from its balance sheet. Regulators can still ask Honeywell to pay for the clean-up if Honeywell Aerospace does not.
