Honeywell Aerospace shares plunge 26% after supply-chain forecast cuts

The Story in Brief

Honeywell Aerospace shares fell as much as 26% on Thursday after supply-chain problems forced the company to reduce its 2026 sales outlook and issue a weaker profit forecast, Reuters reported. The company cut expected organic sales growth to 4%-5% from 7%-9%, while forecasting adjusted earnings of $7.60-$7.90 per share, below the analyst average of $8.86. Supply constraints led it to prioritise deliveries to Boeing and Airbus over its higher-margin aftermarket business. Second-quarter adjusted earnings fell 32% year on year to $1.87 per share, while revenue rose 5% to $4.52 billion. JP Morgan and Jefferies both set a $235 price target.

The Indian Opinion

The lazy reading is that one weak forecast disproves the aerospace sector’s strength. The opposite claim, that supply problems are a harmless blip, is just as convenient. Honeywell’s own figures show pressure on earnings, while analysts differ on whether the setback can be fixed. Investors should judge the recovery by the next supply update and whether 2026 growth returns above 5%.
