Applied Materials (AMAT) is set to report its third-quarter 2025 earnings on August 14, 2025, with an earnings call beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET and a replay available starting at 8:00 p.m. ET. The company, a global leader in semiconductor equipment manufacturing, is expected to report earnings of $2.36 per share and revenue of $7.21 billion. Analysts note its strategic focus on advanced packaging and aggressive talent recruitment in Asia, signaling a strong growth trajectory. The report comes amid context from Honeywell International (HON), which reported Q2 earnings of $2.75 per share and $10.35 billion in revenue, highlighting operational resilience in the industrial sector. Additionally, James Anderson has been appointed to AMAT's board, prompting discussions about potential shifts in corporate strategy.

Honeywell International (HON) is preparing to spin off into three separate publicly traded companies—Honeywell Automation, Honeywell Aerospace, and Solstice Advanced Materials—starting in the fourth quarter of 2025 and continuing into the second half of 2026. The company, which has a 14-year dividend growth streak and currently yields 2.1%, reported strong financial performance with 8% sales growth, adjusted EPS up 10%, and updated 2025 guidance of $40.8 billion to $41.3 billion in revenue, $10.45 to $10.65 in adjusted EPS, and $5.4 billion to $5.8 billion in free cash flow. Despite a recent 9.8% drop in stock price, the valuation remains attractive at 20.5x midpoint adjusted 2025 earnings and 24.7x FCF, below its five-year and 10-year median multiples. Investors are advised to consider buying Honeywell now before the split, as the standalone companies may offer better performance and valuation, though the post-split dividend structure remains uncertain.
