CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced that its Board of Directors has set a record date of June 15, 2026 (the “Record Date”) for the previously announced spin-off of Honeywell Aerospace.

To execute the spin-off, Honeywell will distribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Honeywell Aerospace common stock pro rata to Honeywell shareowners of record on the Record Date.  The Board expects the distribution to occur at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on June 29, 2026 (the “Distribution Date”), on the basis of a distribution ratio of one share of Honeywell Aerospace common stock for every two shares of Honeywell common stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date.

Following the distribution, Honeywell Aerospace common stock is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on June 29, 2026, under the ticker symbol “HONA.” Honeywell will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “HON.”

“Honeywell Aerospace is entering an exciting new chapter that will allow us to accelerate innovation as we shape the future of aviation,” said Jim Currier, President and CEO of Honeywell Aerospace. “As a standalone pure-play aerospace supplier, we will be able to capitalize on emerging opportunities across both commercial and defense markets, deepen our customer partnerships and deliver long-term value for our shareowners.”

“As we approach the historic separation of Honeywell Aerospace and Honeywell Technologies, we are confident that both businesses are well positioned to accelerate value creation as independent companies,” said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell. “This moment not only builds on our portfolio transformation over the past three years, but it also builds on Honeywell’s 140-year legacy that shaped these businesses into the market-leaders they are today.”

Completion of the spin-off is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among other things, the Board having declared the distribution, as set forth in the form of Separation and Distribution Agreement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of the registration statement on Form 10.

The spin-off is expected to be tax-free to Honeywell shareowners for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for cash that shareowners may receive in lieu of fractional shares.

When-Issued Trading Market

Honeywell anticipates that Honeywell Aerospace common stock will begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “HONAV” on a “when-issued” basis on or about June 15, 2026.  Honeywell Aerospace common stock is expected to begin “regular-way” trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “HONA” on June 29, 2026.

Shares of Honeywell common stock are expected to continue to trade “regular-way” on Nasdaq under the current ticker symbol “HON” from the Record Date through the Distribution Date.  However, beginning on June 15, 2026 and continuing through June 26, 2026, it is expected that there will be two markets in Honeywell common stock on Nasdaq:  a “regular-way” market under Honeywell’s current ticker symbol “HON,” in which Honeywell shares will trade with the right to receive shares of Honeywell Aerospace common stock on the Distribution Date, and an “ex distribution” market under the ticker symbol “HONIV”, in which Honeywell shares will trade without the right to receive shares of Honeywell Aerospace common stock on the Distribution Date.

Honeywell shareowners are encouraged to consult their financial advisors regarding the specific implications of buying, selling or holding shares of Honeywell common stock on or before the Distribution Date.

Reverse Stock Split

Honeywell also announced today that it has determined to proceed with a 1-for-2 reverse stock split and a proportionate reduction in Honeywell’s number of authorized shares of common stock, subject to and contingent upon the completion of the Honeywell Aerospace spin-off.

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, which is expected to occur at 12:02 a.m., New York City time, on June 29, 2026, every two shares of Honeywell common stock issued and outstanding or held by Honeywell as treasury shares will be automatically combined into one share of Honeywell common stock. This will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of Honeywell common stock from approximately 634 million to approximately 317 million.  Concurrently with the reverse stock split, the number of shares of Honeywell common stock authorized for issuance will also be reduced from 2 billion to 1 billion. The par value of Honeywell common stock will not change.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. As soon as practicable after the effective time of the reverse stock split, Honeywell’s transfer agent will aggregate such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares at the then-prevailing trading prices in the open market on behalf of those shareowners who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share, and after Honeywell’s transfer agent’s completion of such sale, such shareowners will receive a cash payment (without interest or deduction) from Honeywell’s transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total net proceeds of that sale and, where shares are held in certificated form, upon the surrender of such shareowners’ stock certificates.

Outstanding Honeywell equity-based awards and shares or share units under Honeywell’s benefit plans will be proportionately adjusted.

Honeywell common stock will continue trading on Nasdaq (under the symbol “HON”). The new CUSIP number for Honeywell common stock following the reverse stock split will be 438516205.

Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in Honeywell’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 10, 2026.

New ProEssentials v11: Native WinUI Charting Library, 100M Points in 15ms, Following Microsoft’s Vision for True Native Swap-Chain Rendering

Published

on

By

30 years of evolution in native C++ rendering that bypasses the managed XAML layer entirely and renders straight on the GPU via Direct3D compute shaders, in native x64 and ARM64, ready for Microsoft’s Windows on Arm and Copilot+ PCs. A fresh pass of 100M new data points renders to screen in ~65ms. The same engine powers WinUI, WPF, WinForms, MFC, and C++ from one codebase, with .NET 10 — built for real-time scientific, engineering, and financial data.

DALLAS, July 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gigasoft has released ProEssentials v11, bringing its 30-year native C++ charting engine to WinUI. Every other WinUI chart today renders through managed XAML — ProEssentials renders directly to a Direct3D composition swap chain, the native path Microsoft built WinUI around. The result: 100 million data points re-rendered in roughly 15ms, a fully fresh 100M-point frame on screen in about 65ms.

v11 also ships a native ARM64 engine, ProEssentials runs native on Microsoft’s Windows on Arm and Copilot+ PCs. .NET 10 arrives across the WinUI, WPF, and WinForms interfaces, with Direct3D compute shaders doing the heavy lifting on every architecture. A side-by-side native WinUI chart performance comparison against the major vendors is published on gigasoft.com.

The engine underneath is the same native C++ core Gigasoft has refined since 1993 — deliberately kept native behind a thin .NET wrapper, never rewritten in managed code. One engine drives WinUI, WPF, WinForms, MFC, and C++, so a chart moves between frameworks by changing the control type, not the charting code. Don’t take the numbers on faith — clone the open-source 100M-point WinUI demo and benchmark it on your own hardware.

“ProEssentials is the undisputed heavyweight of Windows desktop charting. Version 11 brings its three-decade native C++ engine to WinUI 3, native ARM64, and .NET 10. We’re proud to ship the world’s first charting component to faithfully deliver on Microsoft’s goal for WinUI as the modern, native, performant interface — presenting directly through a composition swap chain instead of a managed XAML layer,” said Robert Dede, founder of Gigasoft.

ProEssentials is not only for shipping products. It is the tool engineers reach for on their own side projects — R&D experiments, rapid prototypes, proof-of-concept demos, test-and-measurement utilities, internal data analysis, and the one-off tools engineering firms are always building. Any company serious about engineering will find countless uses for it, and with v11’s AI charting code assistance many of those ideas become working applications in a few hours. Licensing is perpetual and royalty-free, generous for multi-developer teams — worth putting in front of your CTO, CIO, and Chief AI Officer. A no-hassle evaluation download is available at gigasoft.com.

Global Times: Here Come China’s ‘next new three’: AI, robotics and innovative drugs spearhead a new round of industrial upgrading

Published

on

By

BEIJING, July 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From four-legged inspection robots operating in European nuclear power plants to automatic coffee-making robotic arms serving travelers at airports and transit hubs around the globe and smart AI systems supporting local Chinese teaching in Thai schools, these varied overseas applications offer a vivid snapshot of how China’s “next new three” industries are expanding globally.

Labeled the “next new three,” AI, robotics and innovative drugs represent China’s new core strategic industries and fresh economic growth engines. Their rise marks a major upgrade in China’s industrial and export model. More importantly, this industrial shift is delivering open, inclusive and innovative solutions to support global industrial upgrading and shared development, experts said.

From ‘old three’ to ‘next new three’ 

For decades, China established its global manufacturing foothold by leveraging its labor-cost advantages, with apparel, furniture and home appliances becoming the iconic “old three” of Chinese exports.

In recent years, the export portfolio has undergone a remarkable green and tech transformation. Electric vehicles (EVs), lithium batteries and photovoltaic products, known as the “new three,” have become the backbone of China’s export growth.

Recent industry data demonstrates the strong growth potential of the “next new three” tech sectors: AI, robotics and innovative drugs.

Statistics from global AI platform OpenRouter show that domestic large models registered 36.11 trillion token calls in the week of July 13 to 19, a month-on-month increase of 30.93 percent, with growth sustained for eight straight weeks, according to the People’s Daily.

In the first half of the year, the country’s robotics exports reached 6.29 billion yuan ($929 million), covering 141 countries and regions with the exports of high-end surgical robots recording a striking 3.3-fold year-on-year increase. 

Meanwhile, China’s innovative pharmaceutical sector has gained strong global influence, with outbound technology licensing transactions hitting $110 billion in the first six months of the year. Chinese pharmaceutical companies accounted for eight of the world’s top 10 pharmaceutical licensing deals.

Wang Peng, a research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Sunday that the rise of the “next new three” represents China’s industrial shift from exporting manufacturing capacity to exporting high-end innovation.

Competition now centers on original research, core underlying technologies and related services rather than production volume and costs, Wang said.

He noted that these industries help Chinese businesses move up the value chain from assembly processing to research and development, technical services and standard-setting, strengthening China’s position in global industrial chains. 

Mirroring this trend, from January to May this year, China’s total services trade volume rose 6 percent year-on-year, while the services trade deficit narrowed by around 20 percent. Exports of knowledge-intensive services surged 12.2 percent, highlighting the continuous improvement of China’s services export competitiveness and the optimized structure of foreign trade, according to the People’s Daily.

While the “new three” underpin China’s foreign trade fundamentals, the “next new three” seize the commanding heights of future industries. Jointly, they shore up China’s long-term economic competitiveness and inject sustained impetus into high-quality growth, Wang said.

Inclusive technological progress

China’s high-quality exports of products and services have contributed to more inclusive technological progress to the global market, reflecting Chinese enterprises’ core strengths in independent technological research, business model innovation and the ability to integrate global resources, as well as China’s commitment to driving global development and benefiting humanity through technological openness.

Chinese startup DEEP Robotics told the Global Times that its quadruped robot intelligent inspection solution has been officially deployed at Switzerland’s Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant, the largest and highest-output nuclear facility in the European country, providing a Chinese solution for the digital and intelligent upgrading of nuclear power operations and maintenance across Europe.

The quadruped robot can replace human workers to access high-risk areas, perform precise operations and conduct high-frequency regular autonomous inspections 24/7, fundamentally cutting safety risks for on-site maintenance staff. It can also move flexibly through narrow corridors and gaps between dense equipment, covering all key inspection points and significantly reducing monitoring blind spots that traditional inspection devices cannot reach, the firm said.

Chinese robotic firm DoBot told the Global Times that in the commercial services sector, coffee robots equipped with its Nova series collaborative robotic arms have been operating stably in more than 20 types of venues including airports, high-speed railway stations and shopping malls globally, with a track record of producing hundreds of thousands of cups without reported malfunctions.

Overseas landmark applications include unattended Coca-Cola beverage stations along the Mediterranean coast, mobile coffee kiosks in the United Arab Emirates that serve a drink within 45 seconds, and self-operated food trucks deployed in shopping malls in Singapore, the company said.

Chinese AI company iFLYTEK said that its AI-powered intelligent teaching system has helped expand Chinese language learning worldwide and supported the digital development of Chinese education in overseas markets. 

Since a Thai middle school adopted iFLYTEK’s AI-powered intelligent Chinese teaching system in 2025, the technology has acted as a supplementary teaching solution amid growing local demand for Chinese learning and a shortage of qualified language instructors. It has greatly expanded students’ practice opportunities: On average, learners now speak Chinese 12 times per session, compared with only twice in regular classes, Xie Fei, director of iFLYTEK’s Global Chinese Learning Platform, said on Sunday.

From industrial robots to boost production efficiency for local factories to AI algorithms that improve local smart ecosystems, China’s “next new three” allow countries at all development levels to access benefits from advanced technologies and narrow the global digital divide, Wang said.

By building a sound global industrial network and rolling out customized technology solutions tailored to local conditions, these technological exports help recipient countries nurture their own industrial capacities and climb up the value chain to move higher up the industrial value chain. In the long run, such efforts will drive the global industrial system toward greater diversification and more balanced development, Wang noted.
