Chris Blumas Honeywell International HON-N TOP PICK Oct 15, 2025

The company and CEO are doing everything right, but shares are highly undervalued.

HON is a different conversation. Decades ago, we went through the big industrial conglomerate phase. Now we're in the specialization phase. The segments are already functioning well; it doesn't need the overhaul that GE was desperate for.

It was upgraded today. The sum of the parts will be far greater when they break up HON later. A perpetual compounder that you can own long term.

The chart is positive, upwards and has broken out to new highs. Higher highs and higher lows. Good technicals. Is enjoying the benefits Trump's big bill, at least the market's reaction to it.

Interesting here. Long-term chart is favourable. Trading around 50-day MA, and moving averages are moving higher. A split would be very favourable. These companies set up their spinoffs for success. Likes industrials. Diverse company with interesting components. He'd be comfortable owning this one.

So many moving pieces in the puzzle. 12-month price target of $253, decent runway. Activist Elliott Management has forced a breakup. People get concerned about spinoffs, but thinks it will be fine. Biggest division will be aerospace -- sort of cyclical. Second is automation -- in renewables and so on. 

Third division, Advanced Materials, encompasses AI. Pretty small, as only 3-4% of revenues go there. Just announced it's now largest shareholder in Quantinuum, with second-largest being NVDA. Makes it a significant player in quantum computing. On July 24, beat top and bottom and raised guidance. Yield is 2.13%.

Very good company. Somewhat expensive against historical multiples, but that can be said about a lot of industrials. Sector's done extremely well, so that means there's lots of choice. This one doesn't make his team.

Has lagged the market, but has AI exposure in aerospace automation and advanced materials. They supply US defence and cybersecurity. Is still trending higher with 20% upside. Is oversold now.

They will spin off a company in advanced materials. This will create in HON a pure-play aerospace company and a building automation company with great tech.  Spinning off Solstice is a bold move (Solstice as an investor day on Wednesday).
