Anticipated Highlights of Honeywell's Q2 2025 Financial Report
Honeywell International Inc. (HON), a leading multinational conglomerate, is gearing up to announce its fiscal Q2 2025 results on Thursday, Jul. 24. The company, which operates across aerospace, industrial automation, building automation, energy and sustainability sectors, has been making steady strides in its growth trajectory.
In Q1 2025, HON reported strong results, with sales of $9.8 billion and an adjusted EPS of $2.51. These figures surpassed Wall Street's bottom-line estimates, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of beating expectations. The company's robust performance has been particularly notable in the Building Automation and Energy and Sustainability Solutions segments.
Analysts forecast an adjusted EPS of $2.63 for fiscal Q2 2025, representing a 5.6% increase from $2.49 in the year-ago quarter. For the entire fiscal year 2025, analysts expect an adjusted EPS of $10.39, which is a 5.1% increase from $9.89 in fiscal 2024.
Looking ahead, HON has raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $10.20 - $10.50. The company also plans to repurchase $1.9 billion in shares.
Despite HON's strong performance, the stock is currently trading below the average analyst price target of $245.75. However, over the past 52 weeks, HON stock has increased 13.2%.
HON is progressing on the planned separation into three public companies, a move that is expected to further boost its growth potential. The company has also been expanding into emerging markets such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and urban air mobility (UAM).
The broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) gain over the same period is 12.4%, outperforming HON stock. However, it's worth noting that the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLI) return over the same period is 23.4%, indicating a stronger performance within the industrial sector.
Analysts' consensus rating on HON is cautiously optimistic, with an overall "Moderate Buy" rating. This reflects the general optimism about HON's future prospects, despite the current trading price being below the average analyst price target.
As HON prepares to announce its Q2 2025 results, investors will be closely watching to see if the company can maintain its strong momentum. With a market cap of $154.5 billion and a significant presence in commercial aviation and defense, HON remains a key player in the industrial sector.
Investors will be keen to see if Honeywell International Inc. (HON) can maintain its strong momentum in Q2 2025, as the company aims to beat its forecasted adjusted EPS of $2.63. This growth potential, coupled with the company's progressive plans for share repurchases and separation into three public companies, presents ample opportunities for those interested in investing in the finance sector, specifically in the industrial business.
