On February 6, Honeywell – the Charlotte, N.C.-based conglomerate operating in industries such as aerospace, building automation, industrial automation, and energy and sustainability solutions – announced plans to split into three companies to boost stock returns.
Elliott Investment Management sees the stock increasing as much as 75% in the next two years.
