Honeywell Technologies
Honeywell Technologies' revenue rose 7.8% to $37.4 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 21.7%, down from 22.1% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $5.4 billion, up 3.8%. It paid out $6.8 billion in dividends and buybacks, 125% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 1.9%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What Honeywell Technologies does
Honeywell makes equipment, software and services for aircraft, factories, buildings and energy plants. It sells them around the world to aircraft makers, airlines, the U.S. government, plant operators, building owners, and refining and chemical companies. Its products range from aircraft engines, avionics (flight electronics) and wheels and brakes to factory control systems, sensors, fire and security systems, and licensed technology and catalysts for refineries.
In 2025 Honeywell's sales grew 8% to $37.4 billion. It reported four segments. Aerospace Technologies had revenue of $17,510 million, Industrial Automation $9,401 million, Building Automation $7,367 million, and Energy and Sustainability Solutions $3,134 million. The competitors it names include RTX, Safran and Thales in aerospace; Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric and Siemens in buildings; and Emerson Electric and Rockwell Automation in industrial automation.
At the end of 2025 Honeywell employed about 101,000 people in 79 countries, about 36,000 of them in the United States. In October 2025 it spun off its Advanced Materials business as a separate public company, Solstice Advanced Materials, and in June 2025 it spent $2.2 billion to buy Sundyne. It plans to split into two public companies, Honeywell and Honeywell Aerospace, and expects to finish the separation in the third quarter of 2026.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Downturns in the industries it sells to, such as aerospace, building construction, and refining and chemical plants.
- Its planned separation from Honeywell Aerospace may not be completed as planned or bring the benefits it expects.
- Relying on single or sole suppliers for many parts, especially in aerospace, and swings in raw material prices.
- Its large business outside the U.S., which exposes it to tariffs, trade limits, currency swings and political change.
- Environmental cleanup costs and injury claims tied to its past operations and those of companies it took over.

Revenue and margins
Net income and earnings per share
From fiscal 2016 to 2025, earnings per share grew 1.9% a year and net income fell 0.2% a year, as buybacks cut the share count by 17%.

Valuation
Two ways to value Honeywell Technologies yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
What Honeywell Technologies says to expect
- Full year 2026: sales, margin and earnings
The company now expects full-year sales of $20.0 billion to $20.1 billion with organic 1 sales growth of 4% to 5%, and 5% to 6% organic 1 growth in the fourth quarter; segment margin 1 of approximately 20.5%, at the upper end of its previous guidance range, representing segment margin 1 expansion of approximately 290 basis points; and adjusted earnings per share 1 of $8.40 to $8.45, up 30% to 31%, representing a $0.23 increase from the midpoint of its previous guidance range.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from Honeywell Technologies' 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Honeywell Technologies' fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $5.4B, net cash of −$22.1B at December 31, 2025 and 319 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to Honeywell Technologies: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 1.8% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 9% for a business of moderate risk (Industrial Conglomerates); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from Honeywell Technologies' earnings per share of $14.72 (in fiscal 2025). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 24.6×, the middle of Honeywell Technologies' own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (its peers' median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.
