The financial data reflects multiple key performance metrics over several quarters, showing trends in profitability and returns.
- Gross Profit Margin (%)
- Starting from 32.07% in the first available quarter, the gross profit margin shows a generally increasing trend over the periods analyzed. Notably, there is a consistent upward movement from around 32% in early 2021 to approximately 38% by the end of the most recent quarter, indicating improved efficiency or pricing power in core operations.
- Operating Profit Margin (%)
- This margin begins near 17.5% and fluctuates slightly across quarters, dipping to roughly 16.9% before trending upward. The operating profit margin ultimately reaches about 19.2% in the last reported quarter, demonstrating a positive trajectory but with less pronounced growth compared to gross margin. This suggests controlled operational expenses or better cost management contributing to the enhanced margin.
- Net Profit Margin (%)
- The net profit margin starts at 14.64% and exhibits minor fluctuations throughout the reporting periods. It peaks around 16.1%, then experiences some decline and stabilizes near 14.3% towards the end. This pattern indicates that while profitability remains robust, some pressures on net income—possibly from non-operational costs, taxes, or financing expenses—are moderating net margin expansion.
- Return on Equity (ROE) (%)
- ROE demonstrates a generally upward pattern, starting from 27.23% and increasing to above 35% in the latest quarter. This trend reflects efficient use of shareholders' equity and strong profitability. Some volatility is observed, but overall the return on equity has improved, suggesting the company is generating higher profit relative to its equity base.
- Return on Assets (ROA) (%)
- The ROA metric begins at about 7.4%, rising gradually to a peak near 9.2%, before tapering off to approximately 7.3% by the final period. This indicates the company has been able to utilize its assets more effectively over time, although the recent decrease implies a slight reduction in asset efficiency or increased asset base relative to net income.
In summary, the financial ratios suggest overall positive momentum in profitability margins and equity returns, supported by improved operational efficiency. Gross and operating margins show solid growth, while net margin remains comparatively stable with modest fluctuations. ROE's strong increase highlights effective capital utilization, although ROA's recent decline warrants monitoring for potential changes in asset management or profitability drivers.

- Gross Profit
- The gross profit exhibits a fluctuating yet generally upward trend across the observed periods. After an initial decline from 2929 million USD in March 2020 to 2201 million USD in June 2020, reflecting a possible impact from external factors during that quarter, it subsequently recovers with some moderate oscillations. From March 2021 onwards, the gross profit consistently increases, reaching a peak of 4023 million USD by June 2025. The trend indicates strong operational performance with gradual improvement in profit generation over time despite intermittent declines, such as the dip observed in December 2023.
- Net Sales
- Net sales display similar volatility with periods of decrease followed by recovery and growth. Starting from 8463 million USD in March 2020, net sales dropped to 7477 million USD by June 2020, then rebounded and exhibited a general increasing pattern. From March 2021, sales figures largely remain above 8400 million USD, eventually trending upward to surpass 10,000 million USD by March 2025. This reflects an expanding revenue base and strengthening market demand or pricing power over the analyzed timeframe.
- Gross Profit Margin
- The gross profit margin, calculated for periods from March 2020 onward, shows a clear, sustained improvement. Early data in March 2020 records margins approximately around 32%, but by the end of the dataset in June 2025, margins have increased to slightly above 38%. This consistent rise in margin suggests increasing efficiency in cost management and/or favorable product mix, contributing to enhanced profitability relative to sales. Margins steadily climb each quarter with rare stagnations, underlining operational improvements.
- Overall Insights
- The data reveals a company demonstrating recovery and growth following an early 2020 downturn. Both gross profit and net sales recover and expand steadily across five years. The increase in gross profit margins further highlights improved operational efficiency or pricing strategy. Despite minor fluctuations, financial performance indicators suggest strengthening financial health with positive momentum in sales volume and profitability. The progressive margin expansion is a particularly positive sign, indicating better cost control and/or value capture over time.

The financial data reveals several trends in operating income, net sales, and operating profit margin over the examined periods.
- Operating Income
- Operating income demonstrates noticeable fluctuations throughout the time frame. Beginning at 1691 million USD in the first quarter of 2020, it declined sharply to 1018 million USD in the second quarter of 2020, likely reflecting an adverse event or external factor. Subsequently, a recovery trend is evident with increases peaking around 2114 million USD in the last quarter of 2025. This upward trajectory indicates improving operational efficiency or increased profitability over time, despite interim periods of volatility.
- Net Sales
- Net sales exhibit a generally positive trend, albeit with some variability. Starting from 8463 million USD in early 2020, net sales dipped to 7477 million USD in the middle of 2020. From then on, they steadily increased, reaching over 10,000 million USD by mid-2025. This gradual increase suggests expanding market demand or successful sales strategies, although occasional decreases indicate potential seasonality or market pressures.
- Operating Profit Margin
- The operating profit margin maintains a stable and slightly upward trend over the available quarters, starting from approximately 17.45% in early 2020 and rising to around 19.2% by mid-2025. The margin increases are incremental and steady, suggesting enhanced cost control, pricing power, or operational leverage, contributing to sustained profitability improvements.
In summary, the analyzed data reflects a recovery from an initial downturn in 2020, followed by consistent growth in sales and profitability. Operating income and net sales trends indicate progressive strengthening of operational performance and market position, while the improvement in operating profit margin signals better efficiency and profitability management over the period considered.

The financial data reveals several noteworthy trends in key performance metrics over the indicated periods.
- Net Income Attributable to Honeywell
- The net income displayed some fluctuation from 2020 through early 2021, with a low of 758 million USD in the third quarter of 2020 followed by a recovery to 1,428 million USD by the end of 2020. Throughout 2021 and 2022, net income generally trended upward, reaching a peak of 1,552 million USD in the third quarter of 2022 before declining to 1,019 million USD at the end of that year. In 2023 and into the first half of 2024, net income stabilized and showed moderate growth, rising again to 1,570 million USD by the second quarter of 2025. Overall, net income ended higher in the latest periods compared to the beginning of the timeframe, reflecting growth despite some volatility.
- Net Sales
- Net sales figures exhibited a somewhat cyclical pattern with an initial decline from 8,463 million USD in the first quarter of 2020 to 7,477 million USD in the second quarter of 2020. Sales rebounded in the second half of 2020 and remained relatively stable through 2021 and 2022, with sales modestly trending upward over time. The highest sales data point was observed in the fourth quarter of 2024 at 10,088 million USD, followed by continued strength into mid-2025 at 10,352 million USD. This upward trajectory in net sales suggests improving market demand or expanding operations during the latter periods.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin, data for which begins in the first quarter of 2021, consistently ranged between approximately 14% and 16% over the reported periods. There was a slight upward trend observed during 2021, peaking near 16% in the fourth quarter of that year, followed by small fluctuations but generally maintaining a solid margin around 14.3% to 15.5% up to mid-2025. The stability in profit margin indicates relatively consistent profitability relative to sales despite fluctuations in net income and sales volumes.
In summary, the financial results show a recovery and growth in net income and net sales following a dip in early 2020. Profit margins remained relatively stable throughout the period, supporting the conclusion of steady operational efficiency. The data suggests the company successfully managed challenges during 2020 and ultimately achieved stronger financial performance through 2024 and into 2025.

The net income attributable to the company exhibits notable fluctuations over the analyzed quarterly periods. Initially, in early 2020, net income shows a declining trend from 1,581 million US dollars in the first quarter to a low of 758 million by the third quarter. Subsequently, there is a recovery toward the end of 2020. From 2021 onwards, the net income generally maintains a varied but mostly upward trend with periodic dips. The highest net income observed is in the fourth quarter of 2023, reaching 1,570 million, followed by quarters showing a mixture of increases and slight decreases up to mid-2025.
Total shareowners’ equity demonstrates relative stability but with a gradual declining trend over the entire period. Beginning at 17,644 million US dollars in early 2020, equity fluctuates around a similar range through 2021 and 2022 but tends to decrease more markedly from late 2022 onward, falling from approximately 17,299 million at the end of 2021 to a low near 15,856 million by the first quarter of 2024. Some rebounds are noted intermittently, but overall, the equity does not return to earlier peak levels within the dataset.
Return on Equity (ROE) figures are available from late 2020 onward and show a generally positive and strengthening performance. Starting at 27.23% in the last quarter of 2020, ROE increases with temporary minor declines, peaking at 35.68% in the first quarter of 2024. Despite some variability, ROE remains consistently above 25% throughout this period, signaling efficient utilization of equity to generate net income.
- Net Income Trends
- Initial decline in early 2020 with recovery in late 2020 and fluctuations thereafter.
- Overall upward tendency with some quarterly variability through 2025.
- Maximum net income reached in late 2023.
- Total Shareowners’ Equity
- Relatively stable during 2020 and 2021 but shows a slow declining trend from late 2021 to mid-2025.
- Does not regain the higher equity levels seen at the beginning of the period.
- Return on Equity (ROE)
- Consistently strong performance above 25% across observed quarters.
- Gradual increase in ROE peaking in early 2024, indicating improved profitability relative to equity.
In summary, while net income demonstrates resilience with growth and periodic fluctuations, the slight downward drift in total equity suggests possible changes in equity structure or capital allocation beyond the scope of net income trends. The increasing ROE underscores an overall efficient use of equity capital over time despite the declining equity base.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several noteworthy trends regarding net income, total assets, and return on assets (ROA) over the covered periods.
- Net Income Attributable to Honeywell
-
Net income exhibited fluctuations throughout the observed quarters. Starting at 1,581 million USD in March 2020, the figure declined notably to a low of 758 million USD by September 2020. Subsequently, net income generally increased with some variability, reaching 1,428 million USD by December 2021. From 2022 onward, the net income continued to show variability but remained within a range of approximately 1,000 to 1,570 million USD. Notably, an upward trend is evident towards the end of the dataset, with net income reaching 1,570 million USD in June 2025 after some oscillations.
- Total Assets
-
Total assets demonstrated an overall upward trend over the quarters, indicating growth in asset base. Beginning at around 57,422 million USD in March 2020, assets increased steadily, peaking at 78,419 million USD by June 2025. Some periods showed minor declines or stability—such as a decrease from around 64,470 million USD at the end of 2021 to 59,883 million USD in March 2023 or smaller fluctuations during 2022—but the long-term movement favored asset growth.
- Return on Assets (ROA)
-

Overall, the data demonstrates a company experiencing growth in total assets, fluctuating net income with an upward tendency in later periods, and a stable return on assets indicating consistent profitability from its growing asset base. Periods of variability suggest responsiveness to market or operational factors, but the general trajectory indicates financial stability and gradual improvement over the reported quarters.
