Honeywell International News Summary

Here are the key news stories impacting Honeywell International this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Q4 beat and strategic catalyst — Honeywell reported adjusted Q4 EPS $2.59 (vs. ~$2.54 est.) and roughly $10.1B in sales, with orders up sharply and backlog >$37B; management moved the aerospace spin-off timeline up to Q3 2026 — this drove the initial rally after results. PR Newswire: Q4 results & outlook
• Positive Sentiment: Broad analyst upgrades/price-target increases — Several major firms raised targets and kept constructive ratings (JPMorgan to $260/OW; Citi to $265/Buy; Barclays to $259/OW; RBC to $268/Outperform), signaling renewed analyst conviction after the quarter. Benzinga: analyst moves
• Positive Sentiment: Analyst commentary on margin upside and forecast lifts — Post‑earnings writeups and notes (Seeking Alpha, Forbes) emphasize margin expansion, improved profitability and why the results support a buy thesis — reinforcing the bullish narrative. Benzinga: analysts raise forecasts
• Positive Sentiment: Options flow showed bullish positioning — Unusually large call buying (≈11.7k calls) the session after results indicates speculative/hedged bullish interest, which can amplify intraday upside.
• Neutral Sentiment: Wells Fargo raised its target to $235 but kept an “equal weight” rating, a milder endorsement versus other banks and a reminder not all analysts are increasing conviction. TickerReport: Wells Fargo note
• Neutral Sentiment: FY 2026 guidance is roughly in line with street expectations (EPS range $10.35–$10.65, revenue $38.8B–$39.8B) — supportive but not a clear beat that would immediately re-rate consensus materially. PR Newswire: outlook
• Negative Sentiment: Q1 guide came in slightly light — Honeywell guided Q1 EPS $2.25–$2.35 (vs. ~2.39 consensus) and revenue $9.1B–$9.4B (vs. ~9.4B est.), which could cap near‑term upside if investors focus on the quarter‑ahead softness. PR Newswire: guidance details
• Negative Sentiment: One-time charge weighed on GAAP profit — A settlement with Flexjet reduced GAAP profits in the quarter; while adjusted results were strong, the charge is a reminder of event-driven downside risk. WSJ: Flexjet settlement
