As the first earnings season under the new tax law continues, the list of publically owned companies investing in retirement plans continues to grow.

Last week, Honeywell, Inc. announced in an earnings call that it would be upping its employer match to the company’s $13.3 billion 401(k) plan, but it did not say how much. Executives did say the company plans to repatriate $7 billion in cash.

The tax bill passed last December taxes repatriated cash at 15.5 percent, instead of the 35 percent rate overseas earnings were previously taxed. The overall corporate rate was cut to 21 percent.
