What happened
Never rose above the publication price inside the window.
The thesis — published August 22, 2025
Honeywell looks like a solid, steady grower with a clear plan to raise its worth. Recent trading shows more buying interest than usual and the price trend improving. The company confirmed it will spin off Solstice Advanced Materials, a unit with $3.8B in sales and $1.1B in profit before interest and other costs. With 2025 guidance unchanged, a slimmer company could focus better and earn a higher market value.
Primary drivers
- Buying interest is picking up and the recent average price is rising.
- Company formally moved ahead with the Solstice Advanced Materials spin-off.
- Management kept its 2025 sales outlook steady, giving predictability.
- Becoming a simpler company can highlight strengths and raise valuation.
How it played out
HON: the target was never reached
Lyra published HON at 220.49 on 2025-08-22 with expected growth of 12% and a target of 245.48.
