• Positive Sentiment: Options flow showed bullish positioning — Unusually large call buying (≈11.7k calls) the session after results indicates speculative/hedged bullish interest, which can amplify intraday upside.
• Neutral Sentiment: Wells Fargo raised its target to $235 but kept an “equal weight” rating, a milder endorsement versus other banks and a reminder not all analysts are increasing conviction. TickerReport: Wells Fargo note
• Neutral Sentiment: FY 2026 guidance is roughly in line with street expectations (EPS range $10.35–$10.65, revenue $38.8B–$39.8B) — supportive but not a clear beat that would immediately re-rate consensus materially. PR Newswire: outlook
• Negative Sentiment: Q1 guide came in slightly light — Honeywell guided Q1 EPS $2.25–$2.35 (vs. ~2.39 consensus) and revenue $9.1B–$9.4B (vs. ~9.4B est.), which could cap near‑term upside if investors focus on the quarter‑ahead softness. PR Newswire: guidance details
• Negative Sentiment: One-time charge weighed on GAAP profit — A settlement with Flexjet reduced GAAP profits in the quarter; while adjusted results were strong, the charge is a reminder of event-driven downside risk. WSJ: Flexjet settlement
