Q2 Earnings at a Glance
The quarter includes two months of results from the Aerospace segment, which was spun off on June 29. Reported EPS jumped from $4.33 to $17.83, but the surge doesn't reflect operating performance — it stems from a one-time accounting gain tied to deconsolidating Quantinuum, the former quantum computing subsidiary. Excluding that one-time item, adjusted EPS came in at $4.52, down 4% from $4.72 a year earlier. Looking at Honeywell's core business alone (excluding Aerospace), revenue rose 3% to $5.2 billion, while adjusted EPS actually climbed 10% to $1.95.
- Total consolidated revenue: $9.7 billion, +4% year-over-year
- EPS: $17.83 (including one-time gain); adjusted EPS $4.52, -4% year-over-year
- Operating income: $1.7 billion, -6% year-over-year (operating margin 17.9%)
- Core Honeywell (ex-Aerospace) revenue: $5.2 billion, +3%; adjusted EPS $1.95, +10%
Outlook for the Year Ahead
Following the Aerospace spinoff, Honeywell raised its full-year 2026 guidance for its core business. The company now expects full-year revenue of $19.8–$20.0 billion, slightly below its prior guidance of $19.9–$20.2 billion, but raised its revenue growth outlook to 3–4% from 2–3%. Adjusted EPS guidance was raised to $8.05–$8.35 from $7.90–$8.30, with growth guidance also raised to 25–29%. The company expects full-year operating cash flow of about $2.1 billion and free cash flow of about $2.0 billion. Honeywell Chairman and CEO Vimal Kapur said, "This quarter marks a historic moment — completing our Aerospace separation and beginning a new era as a pure-play automation company," adding that "the benefits of simplification are already showing up."
