Market Sentiment Analysis

Equity markets started the month of December with a sell-off, snapping a five-day bull run, and futures are pointing lower this morning. Concerns over the AI bubble, high valuations across the market, and stubborn inflation remained front and center. While chances for an interest rate cut have surged to 87%, after dropping to almost 30% two weeks ago, this will fail to address valuation and AI spending concerns but could fuel the bubble. The sell-off in cryptocurrencies, closely related to the AI hype, also weighed on sentiment International Fundamental Analysis

Honeywell International is a conglomerate with aerospace, building automation, industrial automation, and energy and sustainability solutions (ESS) at its core. Additionally, it operates Sandia National Laboratories and has a global workforce of over 100,000 employees.

So, why am I bullish on HON following its post-earnings correction?

Honeywell completed the spin-off of its Advanced Materials a few weeks ago and plans to complete the spin-off of its Automation and Aerospace Technologies, creating three separate entities. I remain bullish on the process, as I see HON unlocking shareholder value, streamlining operations, and gaining competitiveness across the board. I rank HON among the best manufacturing stocks with tremendous upside in its defense and data center business.

Honeywell International Fundamental Analysis Snapshot

The price-to-earning (P/E) ratio of 20.09 makes HON an inexpensive stock. By comparison, the P/E ratio for the S&P 500 is 30.78.
