Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) remains a high-visibility player across industrial software, aerospace systems, and building technologies. In recent Honeywell news, the company has raised its profit forecast.
Honeywell Raises 2025 Profit Forecast Despite Planned Spinoff
Honeywell, on Thursday, October 23, raised its 2025 profit forecast despite the impact of a planned separation of its advanced materials unit, signaling robust growth prospects from strong aerospace demand and lifting its shares more than 7%.

The advanced materials business, now named Solstice, is slated to begin trading independently on the Nasdaq on October 30. It’s part of Honeywell’s plan to split into three standalone companies.
Aerospace suppliers continue to benefit as planemakers ramp output to meet demand for new jets, though Honeywell’s aerospace unit has faced higher costs and tariffs.
The company now guides full-year adjusted EPS of $10.60 to $10.70, including a 21-cent drag from the Solstice separation, up from a prior $10.24 to $10.44.
Quarterly sales rose 7% to $10.41 billion, topping the $10.14 billion consensus from LSEG, while adjusted EPS of $2.82 beat expectations of $2.57.
Honeywell’s Quantinuum Raises $600M From Nvidia
Honeywell’s quantum computing company, Quantinuum, has raised $600 million in new funding, lifting its valuation to $10 billion.
The round includes investment from Nvidia’s venture arm, NVentures, along with Quanta Computer and QED Investors.
This marks a sharp increase from Quantinuum’s $5 billion valuation earlier in 2024.
The funding also reinforces Quantinuum’s status as one of the better-capitalized players in the quantum space and signals continued demand for practical applications in high-complexity problem domains that classical systems can’t address efficiently.
Nvidia’s involvement highlights the company’s growing interest in quantum infrastructure. It recently opened a dedicated quantum computing lab in Boston, which works directly with firms like Quantinuum.
Additionally, Nvidia’s investment isn’t limited to financial backing – it supports ongoing technical collaboration focused on hybrid computing models.
Honeywell to Explore Strategic Options for Logistics and Workflow Divisions
On July 8, 2025, Honeywell confirmed it will begin evaluating strategic alternatives for its Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) segments.
Honeywell International has started evaluating strategic alternatives for two of its business units, a move the industrial conglomerate said would streamline its business and create value ahead of its split into three companies https://t.co/lGpexmptDB
— The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) July 8, 2025
Both units focus on supply chain automation and serve logistics-heavy sectors, including transportation and warehousing.
This move aligns with Honeywell’s ongoing effort to streamline its portfolio, which began in early 2024.
The decision also does not alter Honeywell’s existing separation schedule.
Solstice Advanced Materials is still expected to separate by late 2025 or early 2026, followed by Honeywell Aerospace in the second half of 2026.
These changes support the company’s longer-term plan to transition into a focused automation business spanning building systems, industrial operations, and process automation.
Additionally, the company stated the PSS and WWS evaluation will proceed alongside other restructuring efforts. However, there’s no guarantee it will result in a sale or spinoff.
In line with this Honeywell news, Honeywell appointed Jim Masso to spearhead the process automation division.
Honeywell Acquires Li-Ion Tamer to Expand Fire Safety & Building Automation
In other Honeywell news, Honeywell has acquired Li-ion Tamer from Nexceris, an off-gas detection system designed to identify lithium-ion battery failures before thermal runaway occurs.
This acquisition builds on a five-year collaboration between the companies and strengthens Honeywell’s building automation capabilities, particularly in fire and life safety technology.
Honeywell expects the transaction to contribute immediately to its financial performance.
Li-ion Tamer’s patented detection technology will be integrated into Honeywell’s building automation business.
It complements products like VESDA, an advanced smoke detection system, and Honeywell’s Connected Life Safety Services, which operates through the Honeywell Forge platform.
The goal is to offer more responsive and connected fire safety systems across facilities where battery storage is a critical infrastructure.
Honeywell News: Conclusion
Honeywell’s raised outlook underscores resilience in its core aerospace business, even as it prepares to spin off Solstice.
The upbeat forecast and strong quarterly results suggest the company’s restructuring plan is being well-received by investors, signaling confidence in its long-term growth and margin recovery potential heading into 2025.
Investors and Honeywell should watch for margin pressure in the aerospace segment and potential volatility as the Solstice spinoff tests the company’s ability to sustain growth across its remaining divisions.
