We're exiting our remaining stake in an industrial stock spin-off gone wrong

Quick Look

  • Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is selling its remaining 110 shares of Honeywell Technologies at approximately $209 per share, exiting the position entirely after previously reducing it last month.
  • The sale follows a modest stock rebound driven by Honeywell's new AI platform, Forge Cognition, developed with Nvidia and Dell technology.
  • The Trust cites disappointing performance, elevated 2027 EPS estimates, and potential interest rate headwinds as reasons for the exit, aiming to realize a small loss and replenish cash after recent purchases.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The Trust previously reduced its Honeywell Technologies position by half last month and downgraded its rating. Honeywell Technologies separated from Honeywell Aerospace, which has also underperformed. The Trust exited its Honeywell Aerospace position in August.

We're exiting our position in Honeywell Technologies , selling 110 shares at roughly $209 each. Following Wednesday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will no longer own a position in HON. We're selling the rest of our tiny Honeywell position to replenish cash following a series of purchases over the past few days. We previously cut this position in half last month and downgraded our sell-into-strength 3 rating . Shares were up about 1% on Wednesday, bucking a broader market decline, after the industrial automation company announced a new AI platform developed with technology from Club name Nvidia and server maker Dell . The platform, dubbed Forge Cognition, uses artificial intelligence agents and real-time digital twins to help operators improve asset reliability, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort across existing systems and facilities. We're using this slight rebound to realize a small loss of about 3% and move on from a very disappointing position that has not yet realized the benefits of becoming a standalone company after it separated from Honeywell Aerospace , which has also struggled. (We exited Honeywell Aerospace back in August.) We also want to point out that 2027 earnings per share estimates for Honeywell Technologies may still be too high based on previous management commentary. We called this out when we sold shares last month . The company has previously stated it expects 15% EPS growth in 2027. If we assume the company earns $8.35 per share in 2026 — the high end of its current guidance range — and EPS grows 15% in 2027, that puts 2027 earnings at around $9.60 per share. That's below the current consensus EPS estimate of $9.81, according to LSEG. If rising interest rates slow the economy down, beat-and-raise quarters may become less likely. What this suggests is that forward estimates need to come down, and stocks tend to struggle as EPS estimates move lower. This mismatch is also playing into our decision to exit this position.

Consider Changxin’s 4F² technology a “paper tiger” Analyst: 2 reasons why China’s competitive threat is exaggerated

However, Wall Street analyst Cassidy believes that Micron investors have overreacted. Due to unclear technology mass production and yield rate, Changxin Memory may be just a "paper tiger" and will not pose a major threat to Micron or SK Hynix.

Treasury says largest U.S. banks let politics influence who received banking services

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency found that the nine largest national banks allowed political considerations and social concerns to influence banking service decisions through vague 'reputation risk' policies lacking clear, objective standards, potentially disadvantaging customers due to their political or religious views or lawful business activities, based on a review of nearly 100,000 complaints and 420,000 pages of documents.
