pool adsUnited Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX) Started with a Sell Rating
Last Week a Sell Rating was placed on shares of United Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX) based on valuation. That sell rating holds, and valuation as that directly relates to Earnings Growth Rates remain a serious concern. Y/Y EPS growth has already been negative and it is expected to remain negative this year, with recovery coming next year according to estimates.
Next year is a long ways away, and our assessments suggested that UTX was very close to resistance, and therefore had more downside risk than upside potential.
At face value the multiple does not look excessive, but when negative earnings growth is incorporated it sure does, and when technical assessments are had downside risks look real.
