We don’t expect credit impact. Honeywell remains very active in M&A and therefore we expect little impact on leverage.

  • Bloomberg reported after our close Friday that Honeywell is considering an IPO of majority-owned Quantinuum at a potential $10bn valuation. With 54% ownership, proceeds could exceed $5bn although it’s not clear if they would hold onto some of their stake.
