Is Honeywell International (NASDAQ:HON) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Honeywell International at current levels.
The breakup is the trade: Aerospace spin in 2026 cracks open a sum-of-the-parts that the conglomerate wrapper has hidden for a decade.
Where HON is headed
Honeywell stops being Honeywell in 2026. The 8-K filed in March confirmed what Vimal Kapur teased for two years: Aerospace gets cut loose, Industrial Automation and Building Automation stay together as a pure-play automation house, and Advanced Materials goes its own way. By late 2027 you're not looking at a 140-year-old industrial conglomerate trading at 19x forward earnings. You're looking at three separately tradeable businesses, each with its own multiple, its own shareholder base, and its own capital allocation story.
