Read MoreHide Full Article

Global diversified technology and manufacturing firm Honeywell International Inc. (HON - Free Report) has a balanced mix of long and short-cycle businesses. With a flexible yet disciplined focus on cost and productivity, HON remains focused on increasing its presence in high-growth regions.

However, despite HON's proactive restructuring initiatives, it is yet to witness signs of stabilization in a number of its major end markets.

In the last four trailing quarters, HON has reported a positive average earnings surprise of 2.02%, beating the earnings estimates thrice.

Currently, HON has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), but that could definitely change following the second-quarter earnings report which was just released. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
