Darius Adamczyk, board chair and chief executive of Honeywell, commented:
Honeywell delivered another outstanding quarter with continued top-line growth, strong margin expansion, and double-digit earnings per share and free cash flow growth. Organic sales grew 6 percent, driven by continued strength in Aerospace; demand for Intelligrated warehouse automation solutions; and growth in residential thermal solutions, thermostats and ADI global distribution in our Homes business. We also saw continued robust short-cycle demand for our process automation solutions. The increased volumes, combined with our operational excellence initiatives, drove 60 basis points of segment margin expansion, above the high end of the guidance we provided in April. Our operational performance resulted in earnings per share2 (excluding separation costs and other items) of $2.12, up 18 percent, exceeding the high end of our guidance range.
Shares of Honeywell were last seen up more than 2% at $150.89, with a consensus analyst price target of $173.59 and a 52-week trading range of $133.70 to $165.13.
