Company Overview

Company Snapshot

• Resideo Technologies offers comfort, residential thermal, and security solutions, including temperature and humidity controls, security panels, sensors, and related software under the Honeywell Home brand.
• The company generates revenue through the sale of products and solutions, as well as the distribution of security, smart home, and connectivity products via the ADI Global Distribution segment.
• It serves commercial and residential end markets, targeting contractors, OEMs, service providers, and retail channels across the United States, Europe, and internationally.

Resideo Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider of comfort and security solutions with a global footprint and a diverse product portfolio. The company leverages its established brands and distribution networks to address the needs of both residential and commercial customers. Its scale and integrated offerings position it competitively in the security and smart home technology sectors.

Foolish Take

Though short-term momentum may be stealing the show, Resideo is not a story about speculative smart home hype. It is a cash-generative industrial technology platform benefiting from scale, pricing discipline, and distribution reach at a time when housing demand remains uneven.

In the third quarter, Resideo delivered $1.86 billion in revenue, up 2% year over year, while posting a record gross margin of 29.8% (up 110 basis points year over year) and record adjusted EBITDA of $229 million, a 21% increase from the prior year. Net income surged to $156 million, reflecting meaningful operating leverage across both its Products and Solutions segment and ADI Global Distribution. Importantly, margin expansion was not isolated. Both segments posted year-over-year gains, underscoring execution rather than one-off cost cuts.

Within the broader portfolio, this position sits well below the fund’s largest holdings, such as TIC Solutions, KBR, and Grifols, suggesting the fund has some measured conviction and isn’t overconcentrating. That matters given shares have fallen about 18% from October highs despite still outperforming the broader market. For patient investors, Resideo offers exposure to infrastructure-like demand in safety, controls, and security, paired with improving profitability. If margin discipline holds, short-term volatility may prove secondary to long-term cash flow durability.
