    Honeywell To Increase Dividend By 12% Effective In The Fourth Quarter 2017

    MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., Sept. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a 12% increase in the company's regular annual cash dividend (from $2.66 to $2.98 per common share). The increase will be effective starting with the fourth quarter dividend of $0.745 per common share, which was declared today, and is payable on December 8, 2017 out of surplus to shareowners of record at the close of business on November 17, 2017.

    "Honeywell remains committed to growing our dividend faster than earnings for shareholders," said President and CEO Darius Adamczyk. "Since 2010, and including the 12% increase announced today, we have increased the dividend rate 10% or more eight times. This is consistent with our approach to return capital to shareholders through our aggressive capital deployment strategy, which also includes growth investments through high-return capital expenditures, accretive mergers and acquisitions, and share repurchases. Building on the strength of these investments, we remain confident in our ability to generate strong organic sales growth, margin expansion, improving free cash flow conversion, and earnings per share growth."
