The Charlotte, North Carolina-based forecast second-quarter adjusted profit per share between $2.25 and $2.35, compared with expectations of $2.35, according to LSEG data.
Honeywell expects second-quarter sales between $9.2 billion and $9.5 billion, the midpoint of which is slightly below estimates of $9.38 billion.
The company maintained its full-year forecast.
Honeywell's first-quarter sales rose 3% to $9.11 billion, beating estimates of $9.03 billion.
On an adjusted basis, the company earned $2.25 per share in the reported quarter, topping expectations of $2.17.
