The latest update is out from Honeywell International ( (HON) ).
On June 13, 2026, four Honeywell directors—Craig Arnold, William Ayer, D. Scott Davis and Deborah Flint—told the board they will resign immediately before the planned spin-off of Honeywell’s Aerospace Technologies business, with each expected to join the board of the new Honeywell Aerospace entity. The same day, director Jillian Evanko resigned effective immediately for reasons tied to other professional commitments, with the company emphasizing that none of the departures stemmed from disagreements over Honeywell’s operations or policies.
On June 15, 2026, Honeywell said its board formally approved the long-anticipated spin-off of Honeywell Aerospace and declared a pro rata distribution of all Honeywell Aerospace common stock to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2026. The distribution, scheduled to take effect at 12:01 a.m. New York time on June 29, 2026, will grant investors one Honeywell Aerospace share for every two Honeywell common shares held, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.
The company outlined trading mechanics ahead of the separation, noting that Honeywell Aerospace stock is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker HONA beginning June 29, 2026, while Honeywell Technologies will retain the HON ticker and Honeywell common stock will trade in both “regular-way” and “ex distribution” markets from June 15 to June 26. Immediately after the spin-off, Honeywell Technologies plans a 1-for-2 reverse stock split with a proportional reduction in authorized shares, sharpening its identity as a standalone automation specialist while creating a separate, tier-1 aerospace and defense supplier in Honeywell Aerospace.
Management framed the approval as a milestone in a multiyear portfolio transformation designed to create two focused industry leaders and drive long-term value for customers, employees and shareholders, while warning that the transaction and related actions remain subject to customary conditions and execution risks. The move is set to reshape Honeywell’s portfolio and governance structure, with board transitions and capital changes aligning the parent and the spun-off aerospace business for distinct strategic paths in their respective markets.
The most recent analyst rating on (HON) stock is a Buy
with a $275.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on HON Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HON is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying profitability and cash generation, tempered by stalled recent growth, a sharp decline in free cash flow, and elevated leverage. The latest earnings call was supportive due to reaffirmed guidance and strong orders/backlog, but near-term geopolitical, supply-chain, and PA&T timing headwinds limit upside. Technicals are weak-to-neutral and valuation remains high at ~33.7x earnings, keeping the overall score in the mid-range.
