I think the ONLY winner today is Jim - he will be CEO of a publicly owned enterprise - Aerospace. Aerospace will fair way better. The rest being stuck with Automation - tough luck.
Automation will further deteriorate by sending more work overseas to India, and then bringing those here to take American jobs in an American Corporate. CEO VK it appears that will stay put and drive automation to the ground. This is what happens to over 100 yrs old American Corporate - you put two CEOs D.A and V.K and it is slow death.
When you think it cannot be worse, they do it again...

@3dn+1jkeqvhg2 Haha. You are assuming the business organization will not change in 2026 my friend ;) I like UOP, I liked it a lot more 'before' though but hey it's still hanging in there.
No worries for Automation. They have UOP, most innovative, highest organic growth and margin SBE. There managers like Gautam and Towler were world class CEO and CTO.
Aero is the winner as are C-Suite, they can apportion business changes to the split and save their all important bonuses for yet another year. The heist continues whatever.
I believe Vocollect is still within the automation space. I think the voice business actually does well.
The cancer of Welchism strikes again.
What old companies are part of Automation exactly? Intelligrated and who else?
They will bring back Mad Dog to be CEO.
is UOP lumbered in automation in this latest wheeze ?
Aero has been unburdened by what will be, Vimal did the needful.
Kaput, as they say
Agreed, I'm very glad to be on the Aero side of this split. Now if Jim can just find the spine to spend the money to develop some truly new products.
Yep, Aero was saved. It will be released from it shackles in 2026, I may even return in a couple of years! Automation is f*ckd.
Exactly, D.A is still part of board of directors, and he appointed VK, and both came from Automation, this caused a lot of pain at Honeywell.
