Honeywell (HON) Director Davis D. Scott Exercises Options, Sells Shares
What Happened
Director Davis D. Scott exercised 3,171 stock options on 2026-02-19 at an exercise price of $117.58 (cost $372,846) and immediately sold 2,367 of the resulting shares in an open-market sale at $240.00 each for gross proceeds of $568,080.

Context
- This is an option exercise combined with a partial sale (common "cashless" outcome): options were exercised into shares, some shares were sold in the open market, and the option instruments were converted/terminated.
- Sales by non-employee directors are often routine portfolio management; factual filing shows both acquisition (exercise) and a disposition (sale).
- The filing was timely (reported the next day); the Form does not list total beneficial ownership after these transactions.
