- Risk Warning: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results or future performance. All trading is high risk, and you can lose more than you risk on a trade. Never invest more than you can afford to lose as some trades will lose and some trades will win. Start small to understand your own risk tolerance levels or practice on a demo account first to build your knowledge before investing.
- Trading is not suitable for everyone. Trading is highly speculative and carries a significant risk of loss. While it offers potential opportunities, it also involves high volatility, and leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses. Retail investors should fully understand these risks before trading.
Honeywell Q3 2025 Performance Summary
Key Takeaways
- Reported sales reached $10.4 billion, up 7% year-on-year (YoY), while organic sales rose 6%, led by strong gains in commercial aftermarket and defence.
- Adjusted EPS stood at $2.82.
- Operating cash flow increased 65% YoY to $3.3 billion, and free cash flow stood at $1.5 billion, down 16% YoY.
Segment performance:
- Aerospace Technologies: Organic sales increased 12% YoY, driven by the commercial aftermarket and defence & space, helped by smoother supply chains and stronger shipment volumes.
- Industrial Automation: Organic sales rose 1% YoY, driven by steady demand across segments, though softness in Europe weighed on overall growth.
- Building Automation: Organic sales rose 7% YoY, driven by growth in building solutions and building products, with particularly strong demand in North America and the Middle East.
- Energy & Sustainability Solutions: Organic sales declined 2% YoY. Advanced materials grew 5% on strong refrigerants demand, while Universal Oil Products (Honeywell UOP division) fell 13% due to anticipated licensing delays and lower catalyst shipments.
Honeywell has finalised the spin-off of its Performance Materials division, which will begin operating independently as Solstice Advanced Materials. The spin-off is set for completion on 30 October 2025.
Once the spin-off takes effect, Solstice will no longer be part of Honeywell’s consolidated results. As a result, management expects a modest decline in the company’s reported figures for the year, with sales projected to fall by $0.7 billion, adjusted earnings per share dipping by $0.21, and free cash flow easing by $0.2 billion.

Remember that markets are volatile, and Honeywell’s stock price will fluctuate and may even trend lower.

The company raised its full-year guidance, noting that the upcoming Solstice Advanced Materials spin-off will slightly reduce reported sales and EPS.
