Honeywell Adjusts Full Year 2024 Guidance

 Image: Honeywell’s shares have traded sideways the past couple years.
Honeywell has a lot of moving parts these days. The company closed its $1.9 billion acquisition of CAES Systems and $1.8 billion acquisition of Air Products’ LNG business, while it plans to spin off its Advanced Materials business and exit its PPE business. We’re big fans of Honeywell’s aerospace division, which recorded its ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit organic growth thanks to strong commercial original equipment and solid growth in commercial aftermarket. Though the firm reduced its revenue and free cash flow outlook for 2024, we like the long-term story at Honeywell, and the company remains a core holding in the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. Our fair value estimate stands at $216 per share.

Tesla’s Margins, Free Cash Flow Swell in Third Quarter

 Image: Tesla has returned to a free cash flow rich entity.
Tesla reported solid third quarter results that showed a business that is getting back on track. Not only did production and deliveries increase nicely on a year-over-year basis, but the firm’s margin improvement is a sight to see and comes in the wake of lowered vehicle selling prices. Tesla also showcased its cash generation capacity in the quarter, with free cash flow more than tripling. We like Tesla’s net-cash-rich balance sheet, its free cash flow generation, and its ability to drive growth, but we fall short of including shares in any newsletter portfolio.

NextEra Energy reaffirmed its outlook, which we like quite a bit. This year, NextEra Energy continues to expect adjusted earnings per share in the range of $3.23-$3.43. For 2025, 2026, and 2027, the company expects adjusted earnings per share in the ranges of $3.45-$3.70, $3.63-$4.00 and $3.85-$4.32, respectively. NextEra Energy also continues to expect to grow its dividends per share at roughly a 10% rate per year through at least 2026, off a 2024 base. We like NextEra Energy as a core holding in the ESG Newsletter portfolio.
