Investment firm Bernstein has initiated coverage on Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON), a multinational industrial company. The firm assigned Honeywell a "Market Perform" grade, suggesting the stock is expected to perform in line with the overall market. The stock's price was $215.70 at the time of the announcement on June 9, 2026.

This rating comes as Honeywell prepares for a major corporate restructuring. The company is separating its Aerospace business into a new, independent public company. This process, known as a spinoff, is scheduled to be completed on June 29, 2026, as highlighted by Zacks. The new entity will be called Honeywell Aerospace.

For shareholders, this means they will receive one share of the new Aerospace company for every two Honeywell shares they own as of June 15. After the spinoff, the remaining company, Honeywell Technologies, plans a 1-for-2 reverse stock split. This action combines every two shares into one, typically raising the price per share.

Ahead of this separation, Honeywell reaffirmed its full-year 2026 financial outlook, as highlighted by PR Newswire. The company projects sales between $38.8 billion and $39.8 billion. It also expects adjusted earnings per share to be between $10.35 and $10.65, representing a 6% to 9% increase.

Honeywell's shares are currently trading at $215.70, reflecting a 1.84% gain for the day. The stock's price has moved between a 52-week low of $186.76 and a high of $248.18. The company has a total market value, or market capitalization, of approximately $136.68 billion.
