Multinational conglomerate Honeywell International’s aerospace and energy business had a strong second quarter performance this year.
The company’s adjusted earnings rose to $2.02 a share, exceeding the $1.26 a share earnings it recorded over the same period last year, according to a Bloomberg report.
The earnings also edged the forecasted profit of $1.94, according to the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Sales also jumped 18 per cent to $8.81 billion, higher than the Wall Street projected $8.65 billion.
“Our strong performance in the second quarter took place in a recovering but challenging global environment,” said Darius Adamczyk, Honeywell CEO, in a statement. “We are especially pleased to see a turnaround in several of our key end markets that were hardest hit by the pandemic.”
