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.

CAT

BUY

Honeywell enjoyed two upgrades last Friday and the stock surged over 3% to a new high. It's an industrial powerful exposed to aerospace, specialty chemicals, healthcare, automation equipment and many other areas. Many segments got hammered last year in the pandemic, but the safety and productivity division boasted a 30% growth rate by making PPP. Also, their warehouse division gave them healthy e-commerce exposure. The rest of the company is turning around due to this great reopening. Their climate control business is roaring as companies will invest in better ventilation systems, which will reduce greenhouse gases as well as Covid. Their aerospace division will boom along with the rise in air traffic. Their specialty chemical business has good exposure to the energy markets which are rallying now. A recent upgrade felt that HON's recent underperformance is ridiculous. Another analyst feels that HON is set up for a great cyclical run for the next 3-4 years as earnings rise 15-20% annually.

BUY

They have a new services division and their intelligent warehouse is amazing. The pandemic has delayed their aerospace business, but he expects good things. They report Friday. Good CEO.

COMMENT

It just hit new 2020 highs. An amazing feat during Covid. HON is up 66% in the last 6 months. The key here was to hold onto this stock during the pandemic, speaking to the discipline of holding.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

As an industrial, it has aerospace exposure. They just beat earnings, but suspended their full year guidance. They are not cheap -- trading at 22 times earnings and growth of 10% for earnings. He would wait for lower prices to buy. A fine company in the long term.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 27/19, Down 29%) He sold Oct 11/19. He would not be buying anything in the industrial space because as a hole they are in difficulty. Capital spending will be tricky going forward. The only industrial space he would look at going forward is automation and although they have a bit of this, you have to see the market believing we are getting to the other side of this.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 27/19, Up 5%) He got stopped out in late-fall 2019 when it pulled back. Industrials will do well this year, though.

TOP PICK

They are virtually in every different manufacturing platform when it comes to defense contractors. The Chinese are connecting all planes to the web via satellite and Honeywell has the technology to do this. (Analysts’ price target is $180.09)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 07/18, Up 10%) He sold out around $166 in September last year. Still a good company, just better opportunities out there now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 07/18, Up 14%) He sold in September. They spun off some businesses. He saw a valuation exhaustion. Spinning the companies off created noise. It is a great company but it was due to go sideways for a while.

DON'T BUY

Likes it long-term, but it's been flat the past year, sideways. It's also cyclical which he's getting out of that and embracing defensive names instead. Honeywell isn't this.

HOLD

He likes the management team and their branding. The stock is still too expensive. He would continue to hold it if you already own it. (Analysts’ price target is $165.00)

DON'T BUY

Well-run, especially compared to peers like GE. Pays a 2.2% dividend yield. But industrials underperform in the late economic cycle (now).

HOLD

If an investor is not an owner today, wait until the announced reorganizations have been completed and then pick and choose the divisions that are suitable. He looks favorably on the coming aerospace division and the new Internet of Things division.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He likes this company. They raised their guidance. It is a little pricey. Over time has lots of legs.
(Analysts’ price target is $174.00)

WAIT

From October to May, the industrial sector does well. Seasonally, this isn't Honeywell's time. It may pull back down to $140, maybe wait till October.
