Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ: HON), a diversified technology company, reported stronger-than-expected sales and adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The stock gained soon after the announcement on Thursday.
Fourth-quarter sales rose 6% year-over-year to $9.8 billion, exceeding Wall Street’s estimates. Organic sales grew 11%. For fiscal 2026, the company expects net sales to be in the range of $38.8 billion to $39.8 billion, and organic sales growth in the range of 3-6%.
Earnings, adjusted for special items, climbed 17% to $2.59 per share. For FY26, the management forecasts adjusted earnings in the range of $10.35 per share to $10.65 per share. On an unadjusted basis, Q4 net income attributable to the company was $295 million or $0.46 per share, compared to $1.29 billion or $1.96 per share reported in the year-ago quarter.
“Orders grew 23% stemming from robust demand in the Aerospace Technologies and Energy and Sustainability Solutions segments, including from our LNG acquisition that closed last year. As a result, we exited 2025 with a record backlog of over $37 billion, which positions us well for 2026,” said Vimal Kapur, chief executive officer of Honeywell.
