Honeywell (HON) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Honeywell has demonstrated consistent margin improvement over the past decade, with margins recently achieving new highs, which reflects the company's financial strength and operational efficiency. The firm's focus on organic sales growth has been evident, as it reported a 2% year-over-year increase, significantly outperforming consensus estimates, while segment margins are projected to rise by 60-100 basis points in 2025 despite some cost inflation. Additionally, Honeywell's strategic alignment with secular growth trends, particularly in the Energy and Sustainability Solutions segment, positions it well for sustained revenue growth, bolstered by a strong demand pipeline in energy projects.
Bears say
Honeywell anticipates declines in key financial metrics, as core aerospace margins are projected to decrease by approximately 100 basis points, with organic sales in the Industrial Automation segment expected to fall in the -Low Single Digits percentage range year-over-year in 2025. The company's adjusted sales guidance for Q4 2024 reflects a reduction of $400 million, translating to a shift from previous growth expectations of 2% to 4% to a projected range of -2% to flat growth, indicating potential ongoing challenges in the aerospace sector. Additionally, segment margins have contracted by 350 basis points year-over-year to 20.9%, signaling possible pressure on earnings per share with estimates suggesting a downside to approximately $9.60 for 2025 if growth remains lackluster and margins do not improve.
