Honeywell Updates 2026 EPS Guidance with Reverse Stock Split Amid Spin-Offs and Strategic Restructuring
  • Honeywell updates its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $7.90 to $8.30 and raises second-half guidance to $4.40 to $4.70, driven by a one-for-two reverse stock split rather than improved business results.

  • The full-year adjusted EPS target increases to $7.90 to $8.30, up from prior guidance of roughly $3.95 to $4.15.

  • Guidance changes reflect revised weighted-average diluted shares and adjusted EPS for 2026, with revisions across sales, organic growth, margins, expansion, and cash flow metrics.

  • Sales and segment margin targets for both the full year and the second half remain unchanged.

  • Two disposals are pending—the sale of Productivity Solutions and Services and the sale of Warehouse and Workflow Solutions—with closings expected in the second half of 2026, leaving a leaner portfolio.

  • Investors will first see Honeywell Technologies’ standalone results on July 23, reflecting performance without the aerospace business.

  • Honeywell retains a significant stake in Quantinuum, a trapped-ion quantum computing company, with a $1.68 billion IPO valuation providing meaningful paper value outside the automation guidance.

  • The reverse split is intended to preserve meaningful share price after the aerospace spin-off and does not change total value for existing holders.

  • Honeywell Aerospace becomes a standalone company trading as HONA on Nasdaq, while Honeywell Technologies retains HON and focuses on automation, building controls, and process technology.

  • Non-GAAP measures and reconciliation caveats are provided, defining segment profit, adjusted margins, and noting spin-off impacts; forward-looking statements include risk factors.

  • Full-year 2026 sales guidance remains $19.9 billion to $20.2 billion with 2% to 3% organic growth; second-half sales guidance stays at $10.1 billion to $10.3 billion, and overall operating outlook remains steady with similar free cash flow expectations.

  • Segment margin guidance is updated to 19.8% to 20.3% for both periods, with second-half expansion of 310 to 380 basis points and second-half organic growth seen at 3% to 5%.
