Honeywell Aerospace (HONA)
Forward P/E is 20.35x against a peer median of 24.34x, a ratio of 0.84x — below the fair range — with trailing P/E 27.10x; PEG is not available (shown as n/a for this recent spin-off), so the label is judged on the forward P/E ratio vs peers plus PEG alone, and PEG could not be used. Year-over-year revenue growth cannot be computed from 2 quarters of standalone filings (UNVERIFIED), so no delivered-growth test is applied. Delivered demand check: the aerospace & defense group's median growth was 11.0% year over year — demand rising.
What would change this label: Move to FAIRLY PRICED if the forward P/E rises to about 21.9x or above (0.90x the peer median) at unchanged estimates. Move to OVERVALUED if the forward P/E rises above about 28.0x (1.15x the peer median), and to BUBBLE if it rises above about 48.7x (2.00x the peer median). This label is revisited once four quarters of standalone filings exist, so that a delivered growth figure can be tested alongside the multiple.
Honeywell Aerospace makes aircraft engines, cockpit systems and other equipment for aircraft, and it became a separate listed company in 2026. Its shares cost less per dollar of expected earnings than similar companies charge, which on the evidence available makes them look undervalued. That view is less firm than usual, because the company has only two quarters of its own published results so far.
Both lines start at 100 on 2026-06-15. Over the full window Honeywell Aerospace returned -16.05% and the S&P 500 +1.96% (price returns; dividends not reinvested). Worst peak-to-trough fall for Honeywell Aerospace: -43.9% (2026-06-16 to 2026-09-09). Source: Nasdaq official daily history.
What the label rests on
Forward P/E is 20.35x against a peer median of 24.34x, a ratio of 0.84x — below the fair range — with trailing P/E 27.10x; PEG is not available (shown as n/a for this recent spin-off), so the label is judged on the forward P/E ratio vs peers plus PEG alone, and PEG could not be used. Year-over-year revenue growth cannot be computed from 2 quarters of standalone filings (UNVERIFIED), so no delivered-growth test is applied. Delivered demand check: the aerospace & defense group's median growth was 11.0% year over year — demand rising. The company’s forward P/E is 20.4× against a peer median of 24.3×. Its own history: UNVERIFIED — no sourced range available. Sector demand read: Delivered demand check: the aerospace & defense group's median latest-quarter revenue growth was 11.0% year over year (SEC filings) — demand rising. This company's own growth cannot yet be computed from its short standalone record, so no comparison is made. Latest-quarter sales growth was — versus a year earlier (SEC filings).

Multiples: stockanalysis.com (SECONDARY, S&P Global data), fetched Oct 28, 2026. Peer set chosen by sector; the median is the middle value of the set. The label and its numbers were recorded in the programme’s label registry on Oct 28, 2026 and will be scored at 6 and 12 months.
Sales, profit and cash
This company does not report a gross-profit line in its SEC facts (normal for banks, payment networks and some health insurers), so profit is shown as net income instead — gross margin is marked UNVERIFIED-absent rather than estimated.
Free cash flow by quarter is not shown for Honeywell Aerospace. Its SEC cash-flow facts do not separately tag spending on plant and equipment (normal for a bank), so a quarterly free-cash-flow figure cannot be built without estimating — and this programme does not estimate.

The last twelve reported quarters. Full 2-quarter history sits in the data pack behind this page. A dash means the figure is not tagged as a standalone quarter in the company’s SEC facts (the usual case is the fourth quarter, which many companies only report inside the full-year filing) — it is missing, not zero.
Earnings: getting better or worse?
Each box is one quarter’s earnings per share (EPS). Green means EPS was higher than the same quarter a year earlier; red means lower; a dash means the figure is not tagged in the filings.
Basis: GAAP diluted EPS from SEC company facts, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

What we could not verify
- Gross profit / gross margin: not tagged as a standalone line in this company's EDGAR company facts (common for banks, payment networks and some healthcare payers) — shown as UNVERIFIED-absent; the page charts revenue and net income instead.
- TTM GAAP diluted EPS could not be summed from company facts because at least one of the last four quarters (typically Q4) has no standalone tagged EPS; trailing P/E is therefore taken from the labelled secondary source in valuation_label.md.
- Free cash flow is absent for one or more quarters: either the filer does not separately tag PP&E purchases in its EDGAR cash-flow facts (common for banks), or — for a successor registrant's newest quarter — the cash-flow lines are year-to-date without the prior-quarter rung needed to difference them. Affected quarters are null in the data, never estimated.
- Own-history P/E (5-year median): not computed in the Phase 1 batch — UNVERIFIED
- Standalone financial history is 2 quarters (2026 spin-off); revenue growth and trailing-twelve-month figures are not yet computable from its own filings.
- PEG ratio shown as n/a on the statistics page for this recent spin-off (June 29, 2026) — PEG not available.
- Guidance record (each quarter scored against the guidance the company gave the quarter before) is not yet compiled for this company — it is a Phase 2 layer. The earnings strip below therefore uses reported EPS versus a year earlier, which is fully sourced from filings.
The IT factor — the most exciting thing the market is overlooking — is not assessed on an X-Ray page. It belongs to the Deep Dive (Phase 2), where it gets the evidence standard it needs. Leadership-era scoring (the six years split by chief executive) is likewise a Phase 2 layer; this page names the current chief executive only, from a sourced profile.
