Honeywell has completed the spin-off of its aerospace business, which will now operate as a standalone company under the name Honeywell Aerospace. This move follows a period of significant growth and upward revision of forecasts within the semiconductor industry, with SEMI reporting record-high equipment shipments in Q1 and anticipating continued expansion. The trend indicates a shift in pricing power towards equipment and component suppliers, particularly those providing specialized parts like valves, ceramic components, and RF power supplies, leading to extended lead times and opportunities for domestic substitution.
