Market Sentiment Analysis
After Wall Street received its much-anticipated interest rate cut, with a prediction for two more in 2025 but only one in 2026, markets wonder what will happen next. The massive tech-led rally in September, historically one of the worst months for equities, resembles a melt-up, which usually precedes a market correction or crash. The third-quarter earnings season is approaching, and markets should revert to a data-dependent environment for direction, focused on labor market and inflation data.
Honeywell International Fundamental Analysis
Honeywell International is a conglomerate with aerospace, building automation, industrial automation, and energy and sustainability solutions (ESS) at its core. Additionally, it operates Sandia National Laboratories and has a global workforce of over 100,000 employees.
So, why am I bullish on HON following its post-earnings sell-off?
I am buying the pending split into three publicly traded companies to unlock shareholder value. HON will also benefit from increased defense spending and from the domestic manufacturing uptick, especially in data centers. I rank HON among the best manufacturing stocks and consider further downside from current levels as an excellent long-term buying opportunity.
Metric | Value | Verdict |
P/E Ratio | 23.82 | Bullish |
P/B Ratio | 8.26 | Bearish |
PEG Ratio | 1.81 | Bullish |

ROIC-WACC Ratio | Positive | Bullish |
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 23.82 makes HON an inexpensive stock. By comparison, the P/E ratio for the S&P 500 is 29.65.
The average analyst price target for HON is $252.97. This suggests good upside potential, with manageable downside risks.
