Newest episode of “The Angle” from T. Rowe Price features a conversation with Honeywell Technologies Chairman and CEO Vimal Kapur on business transformation, automation, artificial intelligence, and leadership
BALTIMORE, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What can investors learn from the transformation of one of the world’s largest industrial companies, and how could artificial intelligence and automation reshape the physical infrastructure that powers the global economy?
In the latest episode of “The Angle from T. Rowe Price,” Eric Veiel, President, Co-Head of Global Investments and Chief Investment Officer for T. Rowe Price, speaks with Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell Technologies, about his leadership journey and the evolution of Honeywell through one of the most significant transformations in its history, culminating in its separation into three distinct companies.
Veiel and Kapur discuss the thinking behind the transformation, including Kapur’s view that streamlining the company would allow each of its businesses to pursue distinct opportunities with greater focus. The conversation also explores the secular growth potential Kapur sees in industrial automation and how AI could make facilities ranging from hospitals and data centers to semiconductor fabricators and energy infrastructure increasingly autonomous. Kapur explains why access to industrial data and deep domain expertise are critical to applying AI in the physical world, and how agentic systems could help customers address skilled-labor shortages and improve productivity .
“Vimal brought a valuable perspective to several themes investors are watching closely, including how companies can create value through greater strategic focus, the growing infrastructure demands associated with AI, and the potential for physical AI to transform industrial automation,” said Veiel. “Listeners will hear how Honeywell Technologies is thinking about applying AI to real-world customer problems across complex industries, as well as the role that data, domain expertise, and human judgment will continue to play as these technologies evolve. It’s an insightful conversation for investors looking to better understand how AI is moving beyond the digital world and into the physical economy.”
