Company News
Honeywell has partnered with Rhombus to deliver integrated, AI-powered cloud video and access control solutions for building security. The collaboration combines Honeywell's access control portfolio with Rhombus' cloud-based video management capabilities in a single platform. Cloud video solutions are growing at over 20% annually and are projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the security industry through 2029, according to Omdia. The partnership will offer AI analytics that transform video systems into operational intelligence tools, enabling customers to analyse activity patterns and investigate incidents more efficiently. Honeywell will offer Rhombus products through its channel partners and system integrator networks, initially in North America before expanding to other regions. The solution targets commercial environments including retail chains, fitness centres and schools.
Honeywell Aerospace has announced a $500 million multi-year investment through a supplier framework agreement with the US Department of Defense, becoming one of the first Tier 1 suppliers to the DoD. The investment will expand production capacity for critical defence technologies including resilient navigation systems for precision munitions, Assure actuators for missile manoeuvrability, and electronic warfare solutions. The agreement reflects Honeywell's strategic response to rising global defence budgets driven by geopolitical tensions. CEO Jim Currier emphasised the company's commitment to delivering advanced technologies that benefit both military customers and taxpayers. Honeywell's investment positions it as a key player in military technology modernisation, demonstrating the growing importance of private sector partnerships in national defence initiatives during a period of heightened global security concerns.
Honeywell has expanded its cash tender offers to $4.67 billion for US dollar redemptions and €2.49 billion for euro redemptions, up from previously announced levels. Early participation results show the company is retiring a substantial portion of its outstanding dollar and euro notes as part of an active debt restructuring strategy. The move comes as Honeywell prepares to split into three separate companies. The industrial conglomerate recently reaffirmed its 2026 guidance of $38.8 billion to $39.8 billion in sales and diluted earnings per share of $9.59 to $9.89 from continuing operations. Analysts view the enlarged debt tender as balance sheet management rather than a significant catalyst. The company continues paying quarterly dividends of $1.19 per share whilst managing separation-related costs and execution risks associated with the planned breakup.
Honeywell Aerospace has launched its first US investment-grade bond sale, aiming to raise up to $16 billion ahead of a planned spinoff. The proceeds will support the company's strategic initiatives and enhance operational capabilities as part of Honeywell's broader strategy to optimise its business structure and focus on core growth areas. The bond sale represents a significant step in strengthening Honeywell Aerospace's financial position before the anticipated corporate restructuring.
Honeywell International has reported strong 2025 financial results with total sales of $37.4 billion, reflecting 8% growth. Fourth-quarter sales reached $9.8 billion, up 6%, driven by demand in Aerospace Technologies and Building Automation. Adjusted earnings per share grew 12% to $9.78 for the full year. The company announced a record backlog exceeding $37 billion and accelerated the spin-off timeline for Honeywell Aerospace, now expected to complete in Q3 2026. The Aerospace Technologies segment led performance with 12% organic growth. For 2026, Honeywell projects sales between $38.8 billion and $39.8 billion, with organic growth of 3% to 6%. Adjusted EPS is expected between $10.35 and $10.65. The company recently completed its Solstice Advanced Materials spin-off as part of its ongoing transformation strategy.
