This summary was created by AI, based on 25 opinions in the last 12 months.

Honeywell International is undergoing a significant transformation with a planned spinoff into three separate entities, which has drawn mixed reactions from experts. While some believe this breakup will unlock potential value and lead to a focused direction for the company, others express concerns regarding slower growth rates compared to similar companies in the industrial sector. Analysts generally indicate a cautious optimism for HON, noting its relatively stable performance and demand drivers in aerospace and automation. Several experts suggest that the current valuation reflects the spinoff's anticipated benefits, yet the stock may face short-term volatility during this transition. Overall, while there are risks associated with the upcoming changes, many consider HON as a solid hold for long-term investors, particularly those interested in value-oriented stocks.

TOP PICK

Special situation. Industrial conglomerate with 2 phenomenal businesses, aerospace and automation. Over the next year will split into 2 separate companies, each with its own capital allocation framework; potential to unlock a lot of value of between 50-100%. 

Trades ~20x PE, really good upside. He'd say to hold both those businesses once they come into being next year. Yield is 2.2%.

(Analysts’ price target is $240.57)
TOP PICK

Business model has come under pressure, not too many industrial conglomerates left. So much hidden value that can be unlocked over the next 2-3 years. Wonderful aerospace and defense, as well as automation. Separating them makes a lot of sense. Valuation is very attractive. Yield is 2%.

(Analysts’ price target is $247.09)
DON'T BUY

They had a poor quarter. Period.

DON'T BUY

It's done nothing for a long time. The past CEO was good, but is gone. Isn't crazy about their end markets in a declining economy. It can't break out past $180-200.

BUY

ROE is strong and it pays a 2% dividend. A core value holding.

BUY
A report that HON is weighing Quantinuum, a quantum computing company it co-owns, as an IPO

This would drive more value for shareholders. Let's wait and see. Shares were punished yesterday though on profits, but the valuation is good and topline trends are heading in the right direction. Still likes it.

HOLD

Stock price hovering around 200. Disappointed in share price performance. Believes company needs to take action soon. 

DON'T BUY

Their airline business is doing well. All capital goods companies fall into periods where they stagnate and need to buy a company and/or make new products.

PARTIAL BUY

He just started a position. Everything that Boeing is doing well, aerospace companies like this benefit. Also, they're streamlining their business, starting with aerospace, and can benefit from the infrastructure play. Pays a 2.2% dividend, bug share buybacks and solid dividend growth. He's expecting a breakout after sluggishnes.

WEAK BUY

Decent, won't hurt you over the long term. He's had success recently with the electrical equipment space, so that's a good place to look on pullbacks.

SELL

Great company, now a bit expensive. Sold when valuation got expensive for the fundamentals. Not a bad stock or story. Future expectations on EPS estimates tend to be declining, and he likes things that are going the other way.

BUY

HON has been beaten this year, but now has momentum after the Fed pivoted today.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Have not reported Q3 yet. Margins expanding. Long cycle business' performing well. Good for re-shoring theme. Expensive valuation at 18x earnings. Better deal in General Electric. 

BUY

Reported a solid quarter with organic aerospace sales up 18% YOY. Commercial airplane sales up 20% YPY.

DON'T BUY

He did well with this in the past, but it got too expensive. It's since fallen back in price. Their growth metrics have been fading. There are better industrials.
