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 $209.98, which is significantly below the average analyst price target of $249.60, suggesting substantial potential upside for investors who believe the market is undervaluing the company's long-term prospects.
  • Honeywell International Inc. recently launched Forge Cognition, an agentic AI and simulation platform developed with NVIDIA and Dell Technologies, which uses digital twins and AI agents to manage energy, maintenance, and safety across industrial facilities, reinforcing the company's strategy to expand higher-value software and automation offerings.
  • The company secured an approximately $300 million contract for process technologies and digital solutions for a planned 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery project, providing longer-term revenue visibility and supporting the growth of its process technology and digital businesses.
  • With a dividend yield of 3.39% and a P/E ratio of 8.12, the stock offers an attractive income stream and a low valuation multiple compared to many peers, which may appeal to value-oriented investors seeking stability and cash flow.
  • Institutional interest remains strong, with 75.91% of the stock owned by hedge funds and other institutional investors, and recent new positions were opened by firms such as Studio Investment Management LLC and DMC Group LLC, indicating continued confidence from professional investors.

Honeywell International
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The stock has experienced a significant year-to-date decline, with the 52-week high at $261.24 and the current price of $209.98 reflecting a substantial drop, which may indicate ongoing investor concerns about growth and execution despite the low valuation.
  • Several major financial institutions have recently lowered their price targets, including Mizuho cutting its target from $265.00 to $255.00 and Royal Bank of Canada reducing its target from $293.00 to $270.00, signaling a more cautious valuation outlook among key analysts.
  • The consensus rating for the stock is currently "Hold," with twelve analysts issuing a Hold rating compared to thirteen Buy ratings and one Sell rating, suggesting that the market is divided on the stock's near-term potential and that the risk-reward profile may not be compelling for all investors.
  • CEO Kenneth West sold 316 shares of the stock on August 3rd, 2026, at an average price of $245.47, which, while a small transaction, may be interpreted by some investors as a signal of reduced insider confidence or personal financial planning that could influence sentiment.
  • The company's Q3 2026 earnings are expected to show declines in revenue and earnings due to segment weakness and rising costs, which could pressure the stock price further if the results do not meet the already lowered expectations of analysts and investors.
