1%Honeywell Technologies has launched Forge Cognition, an AI platform built with Nvidia and Dell that places AI agents and digital twins on top of building systems for heating, cooling, security, and power. It can run in manual, semi-autonomous, or autonomous mode, but chief technology officer Suresh Venkatarayalu said the autonomous setting is not yet open. Humans will stay in the loop for probably the next two to three years, he said, after which customers decide when to switch. At Nvidia's Voyager headquarters, Honeywell says the system cut unnecessary alerts by up to 90%. It also identified close to 10% in potential energy savings, which have not yet been achieved. Honeywell is now working to turn Nvidia into a paying customer. It is also piloting the platform at sites in Dubai, Singapore, Bangalore, and Richardson, Texas.
Corning reported revenue of nearly $15.6 billion in FY 2025, representing 19.1% year-on-year growth, with net income reaching roughly $1.6 billion and a net margin of 10.2%. The specialised glass and optical-physics manufacturer supplies optical fibre to Verizon and durable cover glass to Apple, whilst partnering with Amazon, Nvidia, and Qualcomm for AI and data centre architectures. Its debt-to-equity ratio stood at approximately 0.9x, with a current ratio of 1.6x. Honeywell International, operating across aerospace technologies, industrial automation, and building automation, reported FY 2025 revenue of approximately $37.4 billion, reflecting 7.8% growth. The diversified industrial technology company achieved net income of roughly $4.7 billion, resulting in a 12.6% net margin. Honeywell maintains strategic agreements with Bombardier for propulsion and avionics systems whilst refining its portfolio through divestments.
Honeywell shares tumbled roughly 5% to $231 on Tuesday, underperforming all major industrial peers following weak investor reception at its Chicago event. The decline stems partly from the poor debut quarter of spun-off Honeywell Aerospace, now trading as HONA, which prompted UBS to cut its price target. Honeywell's Q2 results showed reported revenue of $9.72 billion, down 6.1% year-over-year due to the aerospace separation. Whilst CEO Vimal Kapur raised full-year adjusted earnings guidance and positioned the company as a "leading pure-play automation company", the complex optics failed to convince investors. Meanwhile, peer 3M rose 1% after delivering a clean earnings beat with 8.2% organic growth in Safety & Industrial and raising its full-year guidance.
Honeywell has completed its split into three separate public companies, with Honeywell Technologies retaining the HON ticker and Honeywell Aerospace beginning trading on 29 June. The advanced-materials operation became Solstice Advanced Materials in October 2025. CNBC's Jim Cramer views Honeywell Aerospace as an interesting long-term opportunity, comparing the breakup to General Electric's multi-year split. He suggests targeted companies can eventually achieve higher valuations than their parent conglomerates, though it may take several quarters for markets to recognise this value. Honeywell Technologies reported second-quarter sales of $5.2 billion, up 3% overall and 4% organically. Orders increased 16%, creating a backlog exceeding $20 billion. Building Automation revenues grew 9% on data centre and healthcare demand, whilst Industrial Automation sales rose 4%.
