26.0. "Honeywell Stock Owners" by NSG018::STOPERA (skill is stronger than strength) Thu Feb 16 1989 07:11

For all you Honeywell stock owners I read last night in Computer System News that
Unisys was going to attempt to buy out Honeywell, that's the reason the 
stock shot up last week. Analysits say the takeover value of the stock is 
between $120-$150.

    I've heard the rumor two different ways.  First I heard that UNISYS was
    buying [all of] Honeywell.  Later I heard that only the Federal Systems
    Division was being sold.  (If I were UNISYS, I'd do the latter; why
    would I want to buy back the Avionics Division that I unloaded on
    Honeywell a couple of years back?) 
26.2BULL/HONEYWELL market performance?NETMAN::KRISHNASWAMYBe cool, stay in the groove, say YOMon Mar 27 1989 13:0013
    For old times sake....
    
    Is BULL traded on the exchange? If so how did it do after the latest
    "hi-tech doldrums"?  
    
    How is HONEYWELL doing as a corp?
    
    BTW, for those of us who might have some stake in the "retirement
    plan" is that affected in any way by a) Honeywell's financial position
    at the time we might collect (Ha) or by b) any mergers/acqusitions?

26.3How Bull is doing as a corp, anywayDELNI::JONGSteve Jong/OMSD Software PubsTue Mar 28 1989 16:3115
    This is slightly off Krishna's subject, but...  I recently attended a
    conference with a former coworker, who is, amazingly, still employed at
    Bull HN.  His assessment of the company is: 
    
        Bull as a whole -- doing very well, thank you.  Computer sales
        in Europe are strong.
    
        Bull HN -- doing well, thanks to unexpectedly strong sales of
    
        high-end systems built in Phoenix.
    
        Boston Computer Operations (Billerica) -- doing horribly; 
        products for 1988-89 all slipped out to 1990!
    
    Seen in this context, the recent decimation layoff makes more sense.
