Honeywell shares are under pressure Thursday, despite the industrial conglomerate exceeding expectations for first-quarter sales and earnings. The culprits: Softer guidance for the current quarter and some uncertainty about a recovery in some of its key businesses. Honeywell Why we own it: Honeywell is a provider of industrial technology solutions to companies in various industries. Building automation was down year over year as growth in the longer-cycle solutions business was offset by continued weakness in the shorter-cycle products business.

Wall Street analysts on Monday issued a bearish call on Club holding Honeywell International , citing its lagging stock performance and sluggish growth prospects. We're hopeful management can get the company back on track by reshaping its massive portfolio of far-flung businesses. The analysts said investor concerns about subpar organic growth in Honeywell's massive portfolio have caused the stock to underperform its peers. Jim Cramer has acknowledged Honeywell's lackluster performance and urged CEO Vimal Kapur to reshape the company's portfolio.

☆ Honeywell's stock decline on light sales, conservative guidance is a buy. Here's why
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-01 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

While earnings, profit margins, and cash flow came in slightly ahead of expectations, sales were light across the board. Segment margin , similar to an adjusted operating income margin, grew 64 basis points to 23.5%, slightly ahead of expectations and ahead of the high-end of management's previous forecast. Segment margin performance was largely better than expected, with the exception of Building Technologies, and cash flow generation came in solidly above expectations. Where they landed on guidance both in terms of sales and margin performance, and therefore earnings, hinges on the short-cycle recovery. Full-year segment margin guidance of 23.15% at the midpoint was higher than estimates.

Wall Street analysts are saying it's a great time to invest in two of our favorite industrial-focused stocks: Honeywell and Linde . Morgan Stanley on Monday raised its price target and kept its buy-equivalent rating on industrial gas and engineering firm Linde. As for Linde, Jim has long touted the stock as the Club's favorite way to invest in the global transition to clean energy. On Dec 1, we increased our Club price target on Linde to $440 per share from $410. The Club's price target is $225, reflecting about a 12.5% premium to where the stock traded Monday afternoon.

HON YTD mountain Honeywell YTD Unfortunately, Honeywell hit a 52-week low in Thursday's terrible market. Moreover, guidance for the remainder of the year was mixed: Sales are expected to be better than we thought. Honeywell repurchased 5.3 million shares during the quarter, more than double the amount purchased in the second quarter. Additionally, for both the full year and the current quarter, earnings performance is being suppressed by pension liabilities. Qualitatively, continued volatility is expected but management believes they can deliver further growth, margin expansion, and cash growth "in line or above EPS growth."

Caterpillar revenue in Q1 increased 16.7% year over year to $15.86 billion, exceeding estimates of $15.26 billion, according to Refinitiv. Better-than-expected operating margin of 17% was so strong, due mostly to manufacturing costs that were not as high as expected as well as higher prices.

Aerospace well positioned Honeywell's aerospace division — which supplies parts to plane makers Boeing (BA) and European rival Airbus — falls on the positive end of the economic spectrum. Warehouse automation weaker While Honeywell's warehouse automation business saw growth in the first two years of the Covid pandemic, it's been hurt by the shift in consumer spending toward services, away from goods. The change in how dollars are being spent has led to challenges for retailers and, by extension, softened demand for Honeywell's warehouse automation offerings. "We look at the other end like warehouse automation, which is really tied to retail growth and products and distribution.
