In an earnings season where many companies delivered standout results, Honeywell Aerospace NASDAQ: HONA stood out for the wrong reasons. The company delivered its first earnings report as a stand-alone company, and the results were underwhelming.
Honeywell Aerospace (NASDAQ:HONA) had a rough debut as a standalone public company.
Honeywell Aerospace HONA shares plunged about 20% on Thursday after the newly independent aerospace and defense supplier reported weaker-than-expected second-quarter results and sharply reduced its full-year guidance, raising fresh concerns over execution and supply chain challenges. The company, which completed its separation from Honeywell Technologies in June, reported second-quarter revenue of $4.52 billion, up 5% from a year earlier but below Wall Street's expectation of $4.6 billion.
HONA misses Q2 earnings and revenue estimates as supply constraints, cost pressures and a weaker outlook weigh despite higher sales and backlog growth.
