On August 6, Honeywell Aerospace Inc fell 5.88% in after-hours trading, trading at 190.0 USD/share, with turnover of $32.30 million. The stock had already declined over 5% during regular trading before the selloff deepened post-market.
The core catalyst was the company's significant downward revision to full-year guidance following its Q2 earnings release. Honeywell Aerospace now expects organic sales growth of 4% to 5%, down sharply from the prior forecast of 7% to 9%. Additionally, adjusted earnings per share guidance was set at $7.60 to $7.90, well below the analyst consensus of $8.86. Management cited persistent supply chain obstacles that have limited the company's ability to fulfill surging aftermarket demand.
Notably, ahead of the earnings release, RBC Capital Markets had maintained an outperform rating with a $298 price target, citing standout Q2 orders and double-digit short-cycle growth. The stark contrast between bullish pre-earnings expectations and the actual guidance cut amplified the negative market reaction.
