Honeywell's Standout Q2 Orders, Double-Digit Short-Cycle Growth Offer Room for Potential Upside in H2, RBC Says

By

Honeywell International's (HON) standout orders in Q2 and double-digit short-cycle growth across all segment support the company's H2 guidance with room for potential upside, RBC Capital Markets said in a Thursday note.

According to the analysts, the company delivered a clean beat and raise, boosted full-year guidance despite the Honeywell Aerospace (HONA) spinoff and hinted at room for H2 upside as management focuses on deleveraging through year-end.

Meanwhile, Honeywell's H2 organic growth ramp is likely supported by real-time demand momentum combined with long-cycle backlog conversion, implying that short-cycle macro is improving, RBC said.

The brokerage said it reiterated its outperform rating on the stock and boosted its price target to $298 per share from $272.
