Earnings Summary
Honeywell International, a diversified technology and manufacturing conglomerate headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, operates across aerospace, industrial automation, building automation, and energy and sustainability segments, positioning it within the broader industrials sector. In the most recent two quarters, Honeywell posted EPS of $2.47 in Q4 2024 and $2.51 in Q1 2025, both beating analyst estimates of $2.35 and $2.21 respectively, while revenue rose from $10.09 billion to $9.82 billion, a modest decline but still above the $9.52 billion estimate for Q1 2025; the company’s EPS trend has accelerated from $2.75 in Q2 2025 to $2.82 in Q3 2025, with revenue increasing to $10.41 billion, indicating a rebound after a dip in Q1 2025. Historically, Honeywell has maintained a YoY revenue growth trajectory of roughly 3–4% over the past four quarters, with EPS consistently beating estimates in three of the last four quarters, though the Q4 2025 quarter saw a slight EPS miss ($2.59 vs. $2.57 estimate) and a revenue shortfall ($9.76 billion vs. $9.95 billion estimate), suggesting tightening margins. Recent news highlights a significant forecasted contraction for the upcoming Q4 2026 earnings, with analysts projecting a 61.5% YoY EPS decline to $2.17 and a 51.3% revenue drop to $5.07 billion, reflecting potential headwinds from competitive pressures and tightening margins; this aligns with a recent downgrade of the price target by JP Morgan.

HON is on the weaker side of its setup, with little confirmation for a reversal yet. Earnings and guidance carry more weight than macro data at this capitalisation.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into HON?

RICH

At today's price, Honeywell International Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 6.7% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 7.28% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 2.3% a year, so the market is asking for 4.4 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis HON looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
50%

Honeywell International Inc. is currently running 16.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against HON's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 40th percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 18.3%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

HON is trading -20.2% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -15.0%, and the deepest was -41.7% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -10.1% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 5th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year HON closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, HON finished the month higher 10 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.1% and an average of +2.1%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.3% on average, its weakest September at -1.5%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: HON has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 52 of 3,268 sessions (1.6% of the time), with the largest gaps running +5.2% and -9.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, HON moved an average of 0.2% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -0.1% and a largest of -0.4%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against HON's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.

Honeywell International Inc. closed at $208.11 on October 7, falling 2.24% and lagging the broader market. The company’s upcoming earnings report, due October 22, is expected to show a 61.52% decline in EPS and a 51.31% drop in quarterly revenue.

The partnership combines Infleqtion’s quantum systems expertise, Honeywell’s manufacturing capabilities, and academic research, potentially enabling handheld quantum sensors in the future. While the collaboration signals technological progress, it has not yet translated into immediate financial impact for Honeywell.
What did this article say?

The partnership aims to improve visibility into contractor compliance and support safety‑focused operations across the company’s Mexican facilities. The milestone signals continued investment in supply‑chain oversight rather than a material financial event.
