- Aerospace segment expected to grow low double digits in 2024, driven by continued high OE growth and aftermarket expansion. - Defense sector to grow low single to mid-single digits, contingent on supply chain improvements. - Building technologies to see low single-digit growth with strong margin expansion; front-end growth driven by solutions side. - Warehouse automation facing pressure on capital investments but supported by strong aftermarket double-digit growth. - High-growth regions (Middle East, India) expected to continue double-digit growth; China to have slight improvement. - Long-cycle orders in commercial aerospace, UOP, and process solutions performed very well in 2023 and expected to sustain. - Short-cycle recovery remains variable but critical for hitting high-end targets in non-aerospace segments. - Overall organic sales growth target remains at 4%-7% annually. - Pricing expected to be price-cost neutral to slightly positive overall. - M&A and share repurchases continue to support growth, complementing organic initiatives.

- Honeywell expects adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth of 7% to 10% year over year in 2024, with EPS guidance between $9.80 and $10.10. - Segment margin expansion of 30 to 60 basis points is anticipated, driven by business mix, pricing, and productivity actions. - Aerospace segment is expected to have low-double-digit organic growth with stable margins supported by volume leverage despite OE mix challenges. - Building Automation segment projects low-single-digit sales growth with the largest margin expansion due to productivity and commercial excellence. - Industrial Automation sees flattish sales in 2024; margins likely to expand, especially in the second half as short-cycle recovery improves volume leverage. - Free cash flow is projected to increase 6% to 13%, enabling accretive capital deployment including M&A and share buybacks. - Overall, Honeywell aims for double-digit adjusted EPS growth supported by organic growth (4-7%), margin expansion (40-60 bps), and capital deployment (1-2%).
