On Thursday, Honeywell International Inc., a subsidiary of Honeywell Automation Inc., reported a third-quarter profit that was better than expected, driven by strong results in its aviation business. Organic sales in Honeywell’s aerospace business increased 18% in the quarter. Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter came in at $0.27, while analysts expected earnings of $0.23 per share.
For the full year, Honeywell expects adjusted earnings per share to be in the low-$9.10s range, up from last year’s estimate of $0.20. The company expects full-year sales to be in the high-$40s range.
