Quantinuum Deconsolidation Drove Massive One-Time Gain
On June 4, 2026, Quantinuum completed its IPO, and Honeywell retained a 48% noncontrolling equity-method interest, resulting in a $6,629 million gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary recorded in Q2 2026, which was the primary driver of the 261.9% YoY jump in net income. This was partially offset by a $265 million equity loss related to Quantinuum post-deconsolidation.
Aerospace Spin-Off Completed, Segment Structure Changed
On June 29, 2026, Honeywell completed the Aerospace Spin-Off, distributing one share of Honeywell Aerospace common stock for every two shares of Honeywell Technologies held; beginning Q3 2026, Aerospace Technologies results will be reported as discontinued operations. The company also effected a one-for-two reverse stock split concurrent with the spin-off, with all share and EPS figures retrospectively adjusted.
Gross Margin Compressed 170 Basis Points
Q2 2026 gross margin percentage decreased 170 basis points to 37.6% versus 39.3% in Q2 2025, driven by higher direct/indirect material costs and higher labor costs that outpaced revenue growth from pricing actions.
