Aviation suppliers, such as Honeywell and General Electric (NYSE:GE), have gained from faster-than-expected rebound in air travel, which has driven demand for parts and services.
Sales at Honeywell’s aerospace business, which counts Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Airbus as customers, were up 16% on an organic basis in the second quarter.
Honeywell lifted the lower-end of its 2023 sales forecast by $200 million to $36.7 billion to $37.3 billion.
Full-year adjusted profit per share was bumped to $9.05 to $9.25 per share, from $9.00 to $9.25 forecast earlier.
The company also reported its second-quarter profit rose 17.9% to $1.49 billion. On an adjusted basis, profit was $2.23 per share, compared with expectations of $2.21 per share, as per Refinitiv data.
Quarterly sales rose about 2% to $9.15 billion, slightly below average analyst expectations of $9.17 billion.
