Coming into today, shares of the industrial conglomerate had gained 3.6% in the past month. In that same time, the Conglomerates sector gained 2.12%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.47%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from HON as it approaches its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect HON to post earnings of $2.08 per share.

For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $8.10 per share and revenue of $37.17 billion, which would represent changes of +1.12% and -11.08%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for HON should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
