How Honeywell Aerospace looks technically
Honeywell Aerospace (HONA): there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 16, below the 25 that marks a real trend).

|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($150.03 to $222.54) — its "stochastic" reading is 20 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 20.3 |

Volatility

| Band width vs its own 6 months | not enough price history yet — needs 59 trading sessions | n/a |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $11.38 between its high and its low — about 6.9% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $11.38 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $138.87 and $226.39 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $138.87 – $182.63 – $226.39 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 6.9% in a typical session — more volatile than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 6.9% |

| Since a bullish engulfing | 6 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 6 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.5% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | +0.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 3.2% above the previous close 2 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 160.76 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +3.2% |
| Gap filled | a 3.1% gap down opened on 2026-08-10 has been "filled" 8 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 1 session to close | 8 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed lower 2 sessions in a row, a -3.31% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 2 sessions down |

Volume-weighted price

| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 16% below the average price paid since 2026-06-29, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $195.22 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 39 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -15.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 1% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $165.72 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 13 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -0.6% |

Analyst EPS estimate for HONA
- Consensus EPS estimate$1.86 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-21
Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for HONA — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Short interest (FINRA)
HONA had 8,708,127 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
HONA had 2.75% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 3.39 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 8,708,127
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 2.75%
- Prior settlement (shares) 8,209,198
- Reported change 6.08%
- Days to cover (reported) 3.39
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
