Honeywell International stock faced mixed analyst calls after Wells Fargo began coverage at Equal Weight with a USD 231.00 price target on September 25, 2026. The latest quarterly results provide a stronger operating anchor, with earnings per share of USD 1.95 against USD 1.80 consensus.
Analysts set competing targets
According to MarketBeat on September 25, 2026, Wells Fargo initiated coverage with an Equal Weight rating and a USD 231.00 target. The report also cited a mixed analyst picture, with 13 Buy ratings and 13 Hold ratings, producing a Moderate Buy consensus and an average target of USD 251.52.
A day later, MarketBeat reported that Rothschild & Co Redburn cut its target from USD 237.00 to USD 234.00 while keeping a Neutral rating. The competing calls put valuation and execution alongside earnings growth as the central issues for the stock.
Q2 earnings beat consensus
Honeywell reported quarterly EPS of USD 1.95, exceeding the USD 1.80 consensus by USD 0.15, while revenue rose 3.4 percent year over year to USD 9.72 billion, according to MarketBeat. The comparison is notable because EPS was USD 1.77 in the same quarter of the prior year, leaving the latest result USD 0.18 higher.
The company also set Q3 2026 EPS guidance at USD 2.05-2.20 and Q4 2026 guidance at USD 2.28-2.43. That forward range gives the October report a clear test: investors will measure realized earnings against the stated second-half framework.
October results are the next test
Honeywell announced that it will release third-quarter results before the Nasdaq opens on October 22, 2026, followed by an 8:30 a.m. EDT conference call, according to Financial Times in a company announcement dated September 24, 2026. The scheduled release will connect the analyst targets with fresh evidence on demand, margins and the Q3 guidance range.
