Impact Analysis

So basically, Honeywell is finally shedding its conglomerate skin. This Q2 print is the first real look at the ‘New HON’ after the Aerospace spinoff PUBT. The interesting part isn’t just the projected $5.02B revenue—it’s the massive re-baselining of expectations Tip Ranks. Wolfe Research raising their target to $265 signals that the old valuation models are dead Tip Ranks.

Market sentiment is wildly split; you have DCF models calling it overvalued at $129 while others see a path to $320 Simplywall. I’d read this as a classic ‘show-me’ story. Management claims this breakup was a pre-planned shift to a pure-play automation firm, not just a reaction to activist pressure GuruFocus.
