Key Takeaways:
Honeywell Aerospace has officially spun off from Honeywell's core business, beginning independent trading on Nasdaq under HONA as a dedicated aerospace and defense supplier.
The new company, led by CEO Jim Currier, will focus on investing in its supplier base to boost production of critical aircraft systems and address industry supply chain issues.
Already a major global supplier with $17.4 billion in 2025 sales, Honeywell Aerospace aims for significant growth by supplying key manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus, while also pursuing next-generation technologies such as electric propulsion and autonomous systems.
The company on Monday began trading independently on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker HONA after spreading its wings and separating from Honeywell’s core business, which is now a pure-play automation provider. Honeywell announced the split in February 2025 and last year spun off its advanced materials business.
