How Honeywell CEO Pay Compares

Total compensation for Vimal Kapur at Honeywell (HON) was $12.0M. Mid-cap public-company CEO packages tend to track this pattern — equity-heavy, multi-year vesting, performance-tied.
The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio is 150x, meaning Vimal Kapur's $12.0M total comp is roughly that many times the median $80,000 earned by Honeywell workers. The ratio is in the mid-range of S&P 500 disclosures and reflects the standard public-company compensation structure. Three-year performance has been roughly flat — TSR of 11.6% alongside 10.4% revenue growth. Flat performance over a multi-year window is where pay-versus-performance debates get the most heated: large compensation packages without commensurate shareholder returns are the modal complaint at annual meetings.
Say-on-pay support was strong at 92%. The Dodd-Frank-mandated advisory vote on executive compensation passes at most U.S. public companies with comfortable margins; meaningful dissent typically requires either pay-performance misalignment or specific governance concerns. Honeywell operates in Diversified Manufacturing with 97,000 employees and $36.7B in annual revenue, and currently carries a market capitalization of $140.0B. Pay comparisons across companies require controlling for these structural factors — a $20M package at a $10B-revenue tech company reads differently than the same package at a $1B-revenue industrial.
