Honeywell Executives Cash Out Millions After Stock Options and RSU Vesting

Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON) disclosed that on January 30 its Vice President and Controller exercised roughly 10,000 stock options and immediately sold all shares at $229 each, generating about $2.4 million in proceeds (approximately KRW 3 billion).

On February 19, a board director exercised stock options and sold a portion at $240 per share; afterward, the director still held about 33,000 Honeywell common shares—valued at roughly $8 million (around KRW 10 billion).

On February 10, the Chief Human Resources Officer converted several hundred restricted stock units (RSUs) into common shares and sold some to cover tax withholding. As a result, the officer’s direct holdings surpassed 20,000 shares, readjusting the mix of executive equity compensation.

In its late-January release of fourth-quarter 2025 results, Honeywell reported adjusted sales and earnings above the high end of its guidance. The company issued a 2026 outlook calling for revenues of $38.8 billion to $39.8 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $10.35 to $10.65. It also reached a revised agreement to acquire the catalyst technologies business of UK-based Johnson Matthey at a price about $500 million below the original deal, continuing its portfolio realignment.

Headquartered in the United States, Honeywell is a multinational industrial conglomerate operating in aerospace, building automation, and performance materials. In October 2025, it spun off Solstice Advanced Materials—focused on refrigerants and specialty materials—as an independent, Nasdaq-listed company to streamline its portfolio.
