Honeywell Aerospace Cuts 2026 Outlook After Q2 Sales Reach $4.5 Billion

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 6

Summary

  • Honeywell Aerospace lowered 2026 guidance to 4%–5% organic sales growth, $4.35 billion–$4.45 billion in adjusted EBIT and $7.60–$7.90 in adjusted EPS after supply bottlenecks slowed its expected production ramp.
  • Q2 sales still rose 5% organically to $4.5 billion and orders climbed 8%, but constrained output, a less profitable mix and a $50 million inventory-obsolescence charge pushed adjusted EBIT down 2% to $1 billion.
  • CEO Jim Currier said the disruption is concentrated in a small slice of suppliers rather than a broad operational breakdown, while the newly independent company adds suppliers, tooling and internal capacity.
  • Management expects the biggest payoff from those fixes in 2027, even as demand remains strong across commercial aviation, aftermarket, defense and space and lifetime customer wins this year reached $15 billion.
