Launch Catch-Up — Results Announced October 22, 2026
Honeywell Technologies raised its annual outlook after reporting third-quarter sales of approximately $5 billion in its October 22 results.
Reported sales increased 1%, while organic growth reached 7%. The company reported growth across its building, process and industrial automation businesses on an organic basis.
Operating income increased 79% to $740 million. Reported earnings from continuing operations fell 20% to $2.40 a share, primarily because the prior-year period included a one-time Resideo agreement gain.
Adjusted earnings, which exclude specified items, rose 34% to $2.27 a share. Operating cash flow declined to $607 million; the company’s adjusted free-cash-flow measure increased to $688 million. These cash measures use different adjustments and are not interchangeable.
Honeywell now forecasts annual sales of $20 billion–$20.1 billion and adjusted earnings of $8.40–$8.45 per share. Management also expects approximately $2.1 billion each in operating cash flow and free cash flow.
The annual ranges remain projections, subject to demand, costs and other business conditions.
