Summary
- No doubt Honeywell shares have performed strongly over the past several years.
- The company's management team is staying positive, and there's a substantive share repurchase underway relative to FCF.
- Volatility looks pretty moderate as we head into the October earnings release.
- I'd like to see a clearer picture for top line growth, as share price and revenue have diverged rather saliently.
