Resideo

Resideo Technologies, Inc. is a publicly traded U.S.-based company formed in 2018 out of a spin off from Honeywell. It provides room air temperature, quality, and humidity control and security systems primarily in residential dwellings in the U.S. and internationally. The company operates in two segments: products and distribution. It manufactures and distributes smart-home and software products, including temperature and lighting control, security, and water and air monitoring. The company also distributes security, fire and low-voltage products. The company now has over 13,000 employees globally, and products in over 150 million households.

Spin-off
Honeywell 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. 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. 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. In the second quarter of 2019, the company reported sales of $1.2 billion and earnings of $0.19 per share.
