United Technologies Corp. - Consistently Profitable and Reliable!
United Tech. (UTX) consistently and reliable provided profits within the Dow 30 - Industrials composite Companies. It is on a Strong Hold, but like all Large Cap Companies, it follows the Marketplace. That's a positive in Bull Markets but is hurtful in Bear Markets. The trick is to know the difference?
You may want to review my previous articles on UTX (just click). They will provide you with the exact history of my Forecasting / Formal Recommendations for Clients. I preach "selectivity" and that can be both calculated and quantified. Perspective of one Company vs. others within an Industry Group becomes a powerful tool for maximizing profits.
Performance for United Tech can be found in my table below and is about 29% per annum for the last 5 years. (not including dividends).
I have completed my weekly study of all my High Profile Industrial / Aerospace Companies. I suggest that there is little support for notably higher prices in the making.
My on going objective is to identify changing trends for my forecasting analytics. Simple stated, I want to have current notes to quickly refer to on the anticipated direction of this sector and industry group.
A Special Note for Seniors & Retired Investors - Dividend Yield: 2.10%
This week's commentary on United Tech covers all of my indicators, both fundamentally for valuations and technically for momentum. Despite its relatively low dividend it can be a very safe and productive company for Income & Growth Investors.
Forecast w/ Performance:
United Technologies Corp. and other Aerospace Companies are tracking the marketplace well.
Note: The below Table is for your review, questions and perhaps thoughts. If you are seeking to "Invest Wisely" in my "Income & Growth Asset Allocation Model," please email me to open a dialog on how I go about providing superior performance with a very low threshold of risk.
My current forecast is not as bright as you may think! (I will be more specific upon your email request).
If you own or are considering owning aerospace companies, the securities are becoming a mixed bag. United Tech is currently relatively strong technically, but I have reservations and have placed it on my Initial Bearish Forecast - "Warning."
My current opinion is to hold in anticipation of taking profits. This may be at even higher prices, but there will be an end and time to sell, but that is not currently in my forecast. That is a balancing of my below three (weighted) pillars of research.
Fundamentally - ( weighting - - 40% ): My Analytics for my fundamental valuation play a vital role in profitable managing money. Earnings continue to be only moderate.
Technically - ( weighting - - 35%): Within this outstanding company, my indicators remain strong. It is only slightly off its highs of $77, is selling for $74.
Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of research is one that is always distorted to the positive by most all financial analysts. That's because they are afraid of being bearish. I am not! My articles on "reality" are supportive of the below 20 year Chart.
I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for UTX !

"Selectivity" is what I preach (along with discipline and patience) and is what separates the average investor and mutual funds from the profits that come with long-hours / hard work and "selectivity."
