Honeywell (HON) CEO Vimal Kapur sits down with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi at the 2025 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss navigating running the company as it has been in the headlines amid activist investor pressure, spinning off its chemical segment, and its business structure.
"The biggest change I'm driving is how we make it a growth-oriented company, and part of that is how we transform our portfolio so that it naturally pivots toward end market products, which are growth-oriented, but also change our own capabilities on new product development innovation," Kapur tells Yahoo Finance.
On the evolution of the multinational conglomerate's portfolio, Kapur says the market responds to consistent and coherent performance rather than running similar businesses. "The synergies for us in Honeywell is a common operating model, which both my predecessor built over many, many years."
