In context
“into '26? Mike Stepniak: Steve, so super happy with the BA performance. And I think as we talked about it before, BA team still has a lot of runway. As far as the 3Q, it's really just a matter of mix between projects and products. Nothing, I would say, concerning there. And like I said, sequentially, BA will continue to expand margins. And in 2026, they have a really good -- I would say, really good setup and plan to continue to expand those margins. So no concerns on that business. Vimal Kapur: I was going to reinforce that the BA just reinforces the overarching Honeywell strategy on how we are pivoting our business through higher growth and margin expansion. So they are ahead of the curve on executing that, and I'm very confident that other businesses are going to demonstrate the same. So we do expect 2026 to follow the trend line you have observed in BA in 2025. C. Stephen Tusa: And then just lastly on the profile of the income statement. You guys made -- obviously, Solstice is coming out, you guys made these changes around the liabilities. Any thoughts around changing the pension accounting and how you're reflecting that in your income statement? And is that something that could happen before aerospace goes or that kind of reevaluation of the earnings format? Mike Stepniak: So it's definitely on one of our agenda items as we go over into 2026. We're actively discussing it. We understand your concern and your thoughts on pension treatment. I would say, just based on what you see, we'll continue to simplify our balance sheet and how we report earnings to make sure you have a better visibility to cash flow conversion and EPS. So it's definitely on”
