Industrials are selling off. One of them shouldn’t be.

Industrials are selling off. One of them shouldn’t be. 

The market is missing what AI is doing under the surface 

The selloff in industrials today has been broad and largely indiscriminate. 

Concerns around slowing growth, cyclical exposure, and global demand have pushed capital out of the sector. But in doing so, the market is treating all industrial companies the same. 

They are not the same anymore. 

We’ve been digging beneath the surface of these businesses using a different lens—one that most of the market is not applying. 

AI is not just a productivity story. It is a labor story. It is estimated that between 30% and 50% of white-collar work could be disrupted by artificial intelligence over the coming decade, with some industry leaders warning that up to half of entry-level roles could disappear within just a few years. That shift will not impact all companies equally. Some will see their cost structures collapse and margins expand. Others will see demand erode as their customers lose income. The difference between those outcomes is what the AI Labor Disruption Index is designed to measure. 

Today’s pick comes directly out of that framework. 

ALDI SCORES — Honeywell (HON)
• ALDI Pressure: 72
AI-driven labor disruption is active and accelerating inside the business
• ALDI Score: +42
The company benefits directly from replacing labor and enabling automation
• Mispricing Score: +38 (Buy)
The market is pricing cyclical risk while missing structural margin expansion 

ALDI Pressure (0–100) measures how intense AI-driven labor disruption is within a company, with higher values indicating faster and more structural change; ALDI Score (–100 to +100) measures whether a company benefits or is harmed by that disruption; Mispricing Score (–100 to +100) measures the gap between underlying reality and market expectations. Scores above +20 indicate Buy opportunities, below –20 indicate Sell signals, and values in between are considered Hold.

What’s happening inside industrials is not just a demand cycle. It’s a transformation of how output is produced. 

Companies like Honeywell are not simply navigating a slowdown. They are actively reducing reliance on labor through automation, software integration, and AI-enabled systems. That shift is structural, and it compounds over time. 

The market is still valuing them as cyclical manufacturers. 

That’s where the opportunity is.

AI Investor Pro is built on a simple premise: the labor disruption caused by AI is the single most important economic force shaping markets for the foreseeable future. Most analysis looks at AI through the lens of efficiency and growth. Almost no one is analyzing what happens when large parts of the workforce are systematically displaced. That shift will ripple through income, demand, asset prices, and capital flows. It is likely the most significant economic transformation in over a century, and it needs to be priced into everything. That is what we do.AI Investor Pro

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
