MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Honeywell International
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Honeywell International Inc.:

  • The stock is currently trading at $203.44, which is significantly below the consensus price target of $254.04, suggesting substantial upside potential for investors who believe the market is undervaluing the company's long-term growth prospects.
  • Honeywell International Inc. recently reported strong financial performance, beating consensus estimates for earnings per share in the most recent quarter with an actual EPS of $1.95 compared to the expected $1.80, demonstrating the company's ability to generate higher profits than analysts anticipated.
  • The company offers a high dividend yield of 4.70%, providing investors with a steady stream of income that is attractive compared to many other industrial stocks, especially in a market where yield is a key consideration for portfolio stability.
  • Recent developments include the successful deployment of a modernized access control platform for the U.S. Marine Corps, which highlights the company's continued innovation and ability to secure high-profile government contracts that can drive future revenue growth.
  • Honeywell International Inc. has a low beta of 0.87, indicating that the stock is less volatile than the overall market, which can be appealing to investors seeking a defensive position that may hold up better during market downturns.

Honeywell International
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Honeywell International Inc. for these reasons:

  • Melius Research recently downgraded the stock from a "buy" to a "hold" rating and set a price target of $190.00, which is below the current stock price, indicating that some analysts believe the stock is overvalued or facing near-term headwinds.
  • The company's CEO, Kenneth West, recently sold a significant portion of his shares, reducing his ownership by 88.87%, which could be interpreted as a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term performance or a desire to diversify personal holdings.
  • Honeywell International Inc. has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.39, which means the company relies heavily on debt financing, potentially increasing financial risk and interest expenses that could impact profitability if interest rates rise or revenue growth slows.
  • The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $196.59, which may indicate that the market is pricing in significant risks or challenges for the company, such as economic uncertainty or competitive pressures in its key industries.
  • Recent news reports indicate that Honeywell Aerospace settled with the Department of Justice for $2 million over cybersecurity claims, which could signal ongoing compliance or operational risks that may require additional spending or management attention to resolve.
