- Guidance Reduction: Honeywell has lowered its fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $9.70–$9.80 from $10.60–$10.70, indicating significant market challenges and pressure on profitability.
- Revenue Forecast Adjustment: The company now projects fiscal 2025 revenue to be between $37.5 billion and $37.7 billion, down from $40.7 billion to $40.9 billion, reflecting weakened market demand and intensified competition.
- Litigation Charge Impact: Honeywell expects to record a one-time litigation charge of approximately $310 million in Q4 2025, which will affect its Aerospace Technologies segment's sales and operating income, although it will not impact non-GAAP metrics, highlighting potential financial strain from legal issues.
- New Business Structure: Effective Q1 2026, Honeywell will adopt a new segment structure aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and market responsiveness, although this transition may introduce short-term uncertainties.
