It's the last day of 2021 and Honeywell is #5 on the list of the worst performing stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial average. (see the link) That's out of 30 companies that make up that index.
Honeywell stock is down about 2% for the twelve months ending Dec 31, 2021. That's in comparison the the S&P 500 index which had a stellar year ending up 28% for the year. In my opinion that's a very telling contrast.
A little over 75% of Honeywell stock is held by institutional investors (Wall Street investment companies). I'm curious about how long before they start dumping shares if Honeywell share price continues to underperform compared to companies with stock prices that have better results. If they lower their holdings it will drive down the share price.
With poor performance on the stock price it seems that there will likely be increased pressure from upper leadership to cut more costs and headcount. It seems to be the only response they know how to use.
