Honeywell drops 4% after Q2 earnings

Honeywell International (HON.US) launched today's trading with a bearish price gap. Drop was triggered by release of Q2 2024 earnings report. While Honeywell reported better than expected results for the second quarter, the company decided to cut full-year earnings forecasts, what is putting pressure on the stock.

Honeywell's total Q2 sales beat expectation, with company posting higher-than-expected revenue in each of 4 major segments. However, free cash flow turned out to be slightly weaker than expected. Nevertheless, it was forecasts that trigger a sell-off. Company revised lower its full-year adjusted EPS and free cash flow forecast. While revenue and organic sales growth forecasts were improved, investors seem to be focused on profits.
