Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) has announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/m-a">a $2.16 billion all-cash acquisition</a> of Sundyne from Warburg Pincus (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WPCBF#OTC">WPCBF</a>). 
The deal is valued at 14.5 times Sundyne&#8217;s 2024 EBITDA on a tax-adjusted basis. The acquisition expands Honeywell&#8217;s industrial equipment portfolio, enhancing its capabilities in high-performance pumps and gas compressors.
Headquartered in Arvada, Colorado, with global operations, Sundyne adds 1,000 skilled employees and strong recurring aftermarket revenue. Its integration is expected to drive significant synergies with Honeywell UOP&#8217;s process licensing, modular solutions, and global sales network.
The addition of Sundyne&#8217;s advanced technology strengthens Honeywell&#8217;s Energy and Sustainability Solutions (ESS) segment, improving efficiency and innovation in refining, LNG, and renewables. Honeywell Forge will further enhance reliability through IoT, while advanced R&amp;D will accelerate pump and compressor innovation.

Honeywell expects the acquisition to boost sales growth, segment margins, and adjusted EPS in its first full year. The move follows Honeywell&#8217;s planned separation of Aerospace Technologies and spin-off of Advanced Materials, forming three independent public companies as part of its portfolio transformation strategy.
Since December 2023, Honeywell has executed $9 billion in strategic acquisitions, including Access Solutions (Carrier Global), Civitanavi Systems, CAES Systems, and Air Products&#8217; LNG business, while divesting its Personal Protective Equipment unit. It remains on track to exceed its $25 billion capital deployment goal by 2025.
The Sundyne acquisition is expected to close in Q2 2025, pending regulatory approvals and customary conditions.
&#8220;By combining Honeywell&#8217;s top-tier technology with Sundyne&#8217;s leading process industry solutions, this acquisition will further enhance our dynamic Honeywell UOP business and create strategic growth opportunities in attractive verticals,&#8221; said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell.
&#8220;Sundyne&#8217;s vast installed base of top-of-the-line pumps and compressors will further strengthen Honeywell&#8217;s brand in the process industry and create significant opportunities for us to continue expanding our aftermarket services business,&#8221; added Kapur.
Price Action: At the last check Tuesday, HON shares were trading higher by 0.11% at $212.25 premarket.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Honeywell Intl has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Honeywell Intl's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Honeywell Intl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.48%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
