Honeywell Posts Modest 0.39 Gains as 0.91 Billion Volume Ranks 127th in Market Activity

On October 2, 2025, Honeywell (HON) closed with a 0.39% gain, trading at a volume of $0.91 billion, ranking 127th in market activity. The stock’s performance reflects modest momentum amid broader market dynamics, with no material earnings or strategic updates reported in the immediate term.

Recent developments surrounding Honeywell have centered on operational efficiency initiatives and supply chain optimization efforts. Analysts noted that the company’s focus on reducing production costs through automation could enhance long-term profitability, though short-term volatility remains tied to macroeconomic factors such as interest rate expectations and sector-specific demand shifts.

Investor sentiment appears cautiously balanced, with institutional buying activity observed in the preceding week. However, technical indicators suggest limited immediate upside potential without a breakout above key resistance levels. Market participants are advised to monitor upcoming quarterly guidance for clarity on execution risks and growth trajectories.

To run this back-test precisely we need to pin down a few implementation details that aren’t fully specified yet. Could you please confirm (or adjust) the following so I can set the engine up correctly? 1. Selection timing • We rank all stocks by their trading volume on day t, buy the top 500 at the close of day t and hold them until the close of day t + 1 (i.e., a one-day holding period). • All positions are equally weighted. 2. Investment universe • All U.S. common stocks (≈ 6,000 names) are eligible. – If you want a different universe (e.g., only NYSE/Nasdaq listings, only the Russell 3000, etc.) please tell me. 3. Transaction costs / slippage • By default I will assume zero explicit costs. • Tell me if you would like to add a commission or slippage assumption. 4. Price source for entry and exit • Entry price: closing price on day t. • Exit price: closing price on day t + 1. – If you prefer open prices, let me know. Once these points are confirmed I’ll pull the necessary data, build the daily signal file, and run the back-test from 2022-01-03 through the latest available date.
