Honeywell Aerospace to host first investor day, unveil growth strategy and 2026 guidance ahead of June 29 spin-off and Nasdaq listing as HONA

Honeywell Aerospace will host an Investor Day in Phoenix, Arizona today as it progresses toward a planned spin-off from Honeywell. A live webcast is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. EDT via the Investor Relations section of Honeywell’s website, with a replay and presentation materials available for 30 days after the event.

During the event, CEO Jim Currier and the leadership team plan to outline the company’s position in high-value aerospace and defense systems, its “develop once, deploy everywhere” innovation strategy, and its operating system focused on continuous improvement. The company also intends to introduce 2026 pro forma standalone financial guidance and provide 2030 targets.

“Honeywell Aerospace has a proud heritage of customer-focused innovation across every era of flight. Since inventing the first autopilot in 1914, it has repeatedly introduced category-defining technologies, ranging from auxiliary power units to integrated digital cockpits to advanced runway safety systems,” said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell. “As Honeywell Aerospace prepares to become an independent company, I have tremendous confidence in its future. Under Jim’s leadership, Honeywell Aerospace is ready to build on its position as a leading global tier-1 aerospace and defense supplier, advancing the future of flight through greater electrification, autonomy, and safety.”

“Today marks an important milestone for Honeywell Aerospace as we outline a strategic vision for our future as a standalone company,” said Jim Currier, CEO of Honeywell Aerospace. “We bring together a scaled portfolio of mission-critical technologies, a culture rooted in innovation, and a systematic approach to operational excellence, all aimed at delivering on our customers’ exacting requirements. We expect to create significant value for all our stakeholders by driving above-market growth across the compelling aerospace and defense end markets that we serve, underpinned by disciplined capital allocation and a strong balance sheet. We have a bright future ahead as we advance the future of aviation and create a safer, more connected world.”

Leaders plan to detail a value creation strategy centered on:
– A tier-1 supplier role with recurring aftermarket services across Commercial Air Transport, Business Aviation, and Defense and Space, leveraging a large installed base.
– R&D focused on common systems that scale across platforms and end markets to improve manufacturing and supply chain efficiency and returns.
– Targeted supply chain and R&D investments, including insourcing, dual- and multi-sourcing, smart factory initiatives, and selective automation, as well as new solutions for retrofits, modifications, and upgrades and breakthrough initiatives aligned with electrification, autonomy, and safety.
– An enterprise-wide operating system designed to standardize processes, improve productivity, and support profitable growth.
– A disciplined capital allocation framework, supported by a strong balance sheet and free cash flow, including value-enhancing M&A to add complementary technologies, increase content on next-generation platforms, strengthen execution, and broaden customer and geographic reach.

Exhibits are set to highlight technologies such as the Honeywell Anthem integrated flight deck, precision navigation systems, Attune vapor cycle cooling, Assure electromechanical actuation, the 131-9 auxiliary power unit, and HTF series turbofan engines.
