Honeywell Aerospace Slashes Growth Outlook on Supply Chain Woes
HON sits 27% above its 52-week low of $195.769.
Summary
Honeywell Aerospace, recently spun off from Honeywell International, has cut its growth forecast, citing supply chain disruptions that hurt performance in the latest quarter. Q2 revenue was $4.52B versus $4.61B consensus, adjusted EPS was $1.87 versus a $2.12 estimate, and profit fell to $246M from $844M a year ago. Operating profit was $1B versus a $1.1B estimate, down 7% year over year. Full-year sales growth is now guided to 4-5%, down from 7-9%, and operating profit to $4.4B, below the prior $4.7B and the Street's $4.6B. This is the first negative operational update since the unit began trading independently on June 30, and it directly challenges the financial targets laid out at the June 12 investor day. The downgrade signals that the aerospace business is facing headwinds sooner than expected, which could pressure the parent company's remaining portfolio valuation. With HON trading near its 52-week high, this guidance cut may force a reassessment of the post-spin growth narrative, and the stock fell 13% premarket.
