Insights

Corporate Strategy Analyst

Honeywell completed the Solstice Advanced Materials spin-off; next milestone is remaining separations due in the second half of 2026.

The transaction distributed one share of Solstice Advanced Materials for every four shares of Honeywell held as of the October 17, 2025 record date, with trading begun today under the ticker SOLS. This creates three independent public entities by carving out the Advanced Materials business, leaving Honeywell to continue trading as HON.

Key dependencies and execution risks remain explicit and near-term: completion of the separation of the Automation and Aerospace businesses is on track for the second half of 2026, and shareholder logistics include cash in lieu of fractional shares.
