editSpin-off
editHoneywell spun off the Homes and Distribution business in October 2018 as part of a corporate restructuring program. The new company was named Resideo. Shares in the company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol REZI.[6][7][8] Roger Fradin, a former vice chairman of Honeywell, was named board chair. Mike Nefkens was named president and CEO. The company established its headquarters in Austin, Texas following the spin-off.[9][10][11][12] Resideo’s shares initially traded at $28 with market capitalization of $3.2 billion. In its first full quarter as a standalone company, the company reported sales of $1.2 billion and earnings of $2.53 per share.[4][13][6] In the second quarter of 2019, the company reported sales of $1.2 billion and earnings of $0.19 per share.[14][15]
