Honeywell International Inc., a Fortune 100 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, recently announced that the company’s third-quarter profit fell 15 percent due to slower sales in all its divisions with aviation and industrial products continuing to struggle.

For the third quarter ended September 30, the company earned $608 million, or 80 cents per share, down from $719 million, or 97 cents per share, one year ago. In addition, revenue declined 17 percent to $7.7 billion, down from $9.28 billion during the third quarter of 2008. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected lower earnings of 72 cents per share on higher revenue of $7.88 billion.

More than half of Honeywell’s sales are overseas and as a result, the company has been hit by some of the economy’s weakest sectors, including the aerospace, automotive and construction markets. Sales in the company’s aerospace business decreased 16 percent in the third quarter compared with one year

Badger Meter (BMI) reported its third quarter results yesterday, after market close. The company reported earnings of 47 cents per share, above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents per share and up 20.5% from 39 cents reported in the prior-year quarter. Despite an 11.6% decline in sales, earnings during the quarter were higher than last year as the company benefited from lower commodity costs, ongoing cost reduction efforts, and pricing discipline. Gross margin in the quarter increased significantly to 39.0%, compared to 34.0% in the comparable quarter of 2008 due to favorable raw material pricing. Sales to the utility market, which constitutes more than 80% of total revenue, declined 9% compared to the third quarter of 2008.

General Electric Co. (GE) and Rolls-Royce Group are gathering support for the second F-35 engine program, which Defense Secretary Robert Gates and President Barack Obama have singled out as unnecessary in the tightening credit environment. Representatives of the two companies met top Pentagon officials recently to offer a fixed-price package on about 100 low-rate production engines for the F-35 fighter.

The deal would cover low-rate production engines to be built from 2012 to 2015. Without F-35, GE would be out of the large fighter-aircraft engine business. Gates recently reiterated his opposition in Fort Worth, Texas, where Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) builds the F-35. Lawmakers backing the program are of the view that continuing work on a second engine will stimulate competition and lower costs on the massive $300 billion fighter program in the long run.

General Electric (GE) is arranging to sell its security business, which makes alarms, surveillance systems and other safety products, and hopes to attract bids in the range of $2 billion for the unit. This move represents GE’s strategy of exiting from non-core businesses. GE has hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) to sell the portion of its business that makes security products. The business has drawn interest from GE’s rivals United Technologies Corp. (UTX) and Tyco International (TYC). Security assets have traditionally attracted private equity buyers, but due to the difficult economic environment and an expressed interest by GE in selling these assets to a strategic buyer, bid amounts could be depressed for such a product portfolio. It remains in question whether acquirers will be interested in GE Security’s full portfolio of products, or only bits and pieces of the business. General ...

The Ministry of Electricity and Water in Kuwait recently selected General Electric Co. (GE) for building a 2,000 megawatt power plant. The company had submitted a bid for 770 million dinars ($2.7 billion) for the Subbiya plant.

In April, Kuwait floated a new tender for building turbines for a plant in the north of the country. At that time, the Ministry had expected costs for bringing the plant into effect by 2011 to be far less than 700 million dinars. Kuwait has one of the world’s highest per capita power consumption rates.

Apart from GE, other companies that initially qualified for the project included Germany's Siemens (SI), Japan's Mitsui & Co. (MITSY) and Marubeni Corp., Spain's Iberdrola Ingenieria Y Construccion and Canada's SNC-Lavalin Ltd.

General Electric has products and services ranging from aircraft engines, power generation, water processing and security technology to medical imaging, business and consumer financing, media

United Technologies Corporation (UTX) reported second-quarter earnings of $1.05 per share, slightly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate but down 20% year over year. Earnings per share included restructuring charges of $0.22 and one-time gain of $0.06. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $976 million, down 23% over the year-ago quarter.   Revenues of $13.2 billion were down 17% year over year due to organic decline (11%), adverse foreign currency translation (5%) and net divestitures (1%). Adjusted for restructuring costs and the one-time gain, segment operating margin was 50 basis points higher than prior year.   Benefits from cost reduction initiatives, including restructuring, have offset the impact of a $2.7 billion decline in revenues. All business units achieved double digit operating margins, with four of six – Otis, UTC Fire & Security, Sikorsky and Pratt & Whitney – increasing margins by 100 basis points or more.   However,
