krblokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Honeywell International ( HON ) stock was little changed in premarket trading Thursday after the industrial conglomerate reported results that beat Wall Street expectations, helped by higher demand in aerospace and building automation and a sharp increase in orders. Fourth-quarter sales rose 6% to $9.76 billion. The company’s results exceeded the Wall Street consensus estimate for revenue of $9.92 billion, even as Honeywell ( HON ) said adjusted sales were $10.07 billion, up 11% organically. Adjusted earnings were $2.59 a share, topping the consensus estimate of $2.54 a share. Net income fell to $309 million, or $0.49 a share, from $1.09 billion, or $1.74 a share, a year earlier. Results were pressured by a one-time impairment charge tied to classifying its productivity solutions and services and its warehouse and workflow solutions businesses as assets held for sale, along with a one-time charge in aerospace technologies related to Flexjet litigation matters. “We concluded 2025 with strong results that exceeded the high end of our guidance for adjusted sales and adjusted EPS,” Chief Executive Vimal Kapur said in a statement. Q4 sales rise 6% on aerospace, building automation demand Honeywell ( HON ) said sales growth was driven primarily by demand in aerospace technologies and building automation. Aerospace technologies sales were $4.52 billion, up 13% year over year, with organic growth of 21%. Building automation sales rose 10% to $1.97 billion, including 8% organic growth. Industrial automation revenue declined 8% to $2.37 billion, while energy and sustainability solutions sales rose 10% to $892 million, though the company said that segment declined 7% organically due to softer demand in petrochemical catalysts. Orders rose 23% organically in the quarter, lifting backlog more than 4% sequentially to over $37 billion. One-time charges weigh on profit and margin Operating income was $996 million, down 35% from $1.52 bill...

US equities dropped on Thursday as traders sifted through the winners and losers among big-spending technology names, offsetting optimism that Republicans and Democrats may strike a deal to avoid a US government shutdown. The S&P 500 Index fell 0.3% at 9:44 a.m in New York. Energy stocks climbed alongside oil prices as President Donald Trump renewed threats against Iran. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index fell 0.7%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4%. “Big tech earnings weren’t perfect, but on balance were positive,” wrote Tom Essaye , founder of the Sevens Report, of megacap tech results over night. Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc. was one of the best performers in the index, with analysts saying its stronger-than-expected revenue outlook supports its massive capital spending for the next year. Its performance stands in sharp contrast to Microsoft Corp. , which was among the biggest laggards in the market following disappointing guidance in its cloud computing business, while capital expenditures were higher than expected. “The AI theme, and who benefits from the AI capex going forward, remains the largest driver of factor and market cap calls,” said Dennis DeBusschere , president and chief market strategist at 22V Research. Investors will get another chance to assess the megacap technology space after markets close Thursday, when Apple Inc. is due to report results. What does the break above 7,000 for the cash S&P 500 mean for US stocks going forward? Let us know . In Washington, Trump and Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are reportedly nearing a deal to avert a government shutdown. Derek Holt, head of capital markets economics at Scotiabank, said that with funding expiring this weekend, “the US is creeping too close for comfort” to a stoppage. Initial jobless claims for the last week came in ahead of expectations, while continuing claims fell. Dow Inc. shares fell after the company said Thursday it would cut roughly 4,500 jobs. Additio...

In Brief After launching a messaging feature last August, Spotify is now rolling out group chats. The company announced this week that users can now share the podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks they’re listening to with up to 10 people. You can only start a chat with someone you’ve previously shared content with. For example, if you have a collaborative playlist with someone or have joined a Jam or a Blend together, you can start a conversation with them. The move comes as Spotify continues to invest in making its streaming app more social. Over the years, the company has gradually added social elements, including features such as comments on podcasts and the ability to follow someone and see what they listen to. Spotify previously noted that users should continue sharing content outside the app, as its messaging feature is meant to complement that. Messages are encrypted at rest and in transit. However, they are not protected by end-to-end encryption.

A new security feature rolled out to select models of the latest iPhones and iPads this week will make it more difficult for law enforcement, spies, and malicious hackers to obtain a person’s precise location data from their phone provider. According to Apple, the new feature, when enabled, limits the precision of location data that iPhones and cellular-enabled iPads share with the customer’s cell carrier. Sharing a less-precise location, such as the general neighborhood rather than a street address, will help to protect the device owner’s privacy, the company claims. Apple said switching on the feature does not affect the precision of location data shared with apps, or shared with first responders during an emergency call. The limit precise location feature is supported on iPhone Air, iPhone 16e, and iPad Pro (M5) Wi-Fi + Cellular, running iOS 26.3, and is available on a handful of global carriers including Telekom in Germany, AIS and True Thailand, EE and BT in the United Kingdom, and the Boost Mobile in United States. The company did not give a reason for introducing the new feature, and a spokesperson for Apple would not comment on the record when reached by email. The new feature lands at a time when law enforcement agencies are increasingly tapping cell carriers to access the location data of individuals for tracking them in real-time, or examining where they have traveled over a period of time. Hackers also frequently target cell carriers for the sensitive data that they collect on their customers. Over the past year, several U.S. phone giants, including AT&T and Verizon, have confirmed persistent intrusions by China-backed hackers, dubbed Salt Typhoon, seeking phone call logs and messages of senior American officials. Recent threats aside, long-known vulnerabilities in global cellular networks have allowed surveillance vendors to snoop on the location data of individuals anywhere in the world. While telecom operators can determine the approximate location of...

Bruce Springsteen’s new protest song isn’t open to interpretation. In Streets of Minneapolis, the Boss condemns “King Trump’s private army from the DHS” that “came to Minneapolis to enforce the law – or so their story goes”. He names Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both killed by federal agents amid protests. He rages against “Miller and Noem’s dirty lies”, referencing the faces of the Trump administration’s onslaught against immigrants. In its familiar structure, with chords any beginner musician can play, it echoes protest songs of the 1960s. But unlike Blowin’ in the Wind or A Change Is Gonna Come, it doesn’t speak in metaphor. That probably means no one will be singing this song around the campfire 50 years from now; we can only hope the youth of tomorrow will be unfamiliar with private DHS armies. But it also leaves no doubt about its message. Springsteen, who says he wrote and recorded the song in the span of a weekend, has no time for ambiguity, and the result is a sense of urgency and genuine fury. Streets of Minneapolis sacrifices timelessness for raw feeling. That’s not to say the song lacks lyricism. Springsteen stages the scene on Minneapolis streets as a battle between the people and their violent oppressors, with images of “fire and ice” and “an occupier’s boots”. It’s rooted in the folk tradition, with references to the US national anthem – “Against smoke and rubber bullets / In the dawn’s early light” – and echoes of the Bible – “We’ll take our stand for this land / And the stranger in our midst.” The title itself harkens back to Springsteen’s own hit Streets of Philadelphia, which addressed the Aids crisis. And, importantly for a protest song, it’s highly singable, with a verse-chorus structure and a built-in chant: the recording features voices yelling: “ICE out!” (It also has a big harmonica solo, essential to any 60s-style anthem.) And despite the song’s tale of blood and tyranny, it’s unexpectedly hopeful. It celebrates the protests and the city’s u...

Omega Healthcare Investors ( OHI ) was cut to Equal Weight from Overweight at Wells Fargo, with the price target reduced to $45.00 from $48.00. "We see valuation as full here with the revisions to earnings following Genesis, expected higher dispositions, and increased MA/Medicaid concerns," said analysts John Kilichowski and James Feldman. Shares were -1.27% Thursday pre-market to $42.61. "As a reminder, Genesis is 4.6% of OHI's annualized rent/interest and filed for Ch11 on 7/9/25 to address malpractice claims," said Wells Fargo analysts in the research note. "While OHI believes its credit position is strong, we still need to monitor the tail risk of potential non-repayment." "Based on our latest conversations with management, dispositions could be elevated this year as it looks to take advantage of historically high valuations in SNFs & SH," said the note. "While we agree with the decision by management to take advantage of these attractive valuations, we see risk to street net investment expectations as yields compress." "We estimate ~10% of OHI's occ is MA, which would equate to slightly higher rev contribution. We're also monitoring the impact of the OBBBA this year during states' fiscal budgetary seasons," said the note. "While we expect a relatively positive outcome on Medicaid, the uncertainty, along with added MA pressure, for the SNF with the lowest coverage vs peers (1.55x) keeps us sidelined," added the note. Wells Fargo's rating differs from the average sell-side analysts and Seeking Alpha authors rating of Buy. SA's Quant Rating system grades OHI as Strong Buy.
