What does the trend tell you?
Short interest is rising. It is up 0.7 percentage points over the last month and now stands at 2.3%. It has been higher, though: 3.7% on Jul 13, 2026. More investors have borrowed Honeywell International and sold it, expecting the price to fall.

It cuts both ways: if they are wrong and the price rises, they have to buy the share back — and those purchases can push the price up further on their own. That is called a short squeeze. That is not in itself a signal about what the price will do — we cannot predict the market, and short interest is only one number among many. But it does say something about what the large players are doing.
The stock has a moderate share of short selling. Between 2-5% of the freely traded shares are sold short, which is within the normal range for most stocks.
