March 17 (Reuters) - The conflict in the Middle East could impact Honeywell International's ( HON ) first-quarter revenue by high-single-digit percentages, CEO Vimal Kapur said at BofA Securities' Global Industrials Conference on Tuesday.

However, the industrial giant remains confident in its 2026 forecast, viewing the disruptions as a "tactical issue" rather than demand-driven, he said.

"If something due in March shows up in April or May, it still won't change our guide for the year or for that matter, the next year," Kapur said.

Honeywell ( HON ) expects 2026 sales of between $38.8 billion and $39.8 billion and a full-year adjusted profit per share of $10.35 to $10.65.

The company's shares have fallen about 3.7% since the conflict began more than two weeks ago.
