United Technologies Corp (NYSE:UTX)

Otis Elevators is alone enough to boost this global contracting company that makes almost everything, inkcluding Siskorsky helicopters

Another value category killer, easy decision

Well diversified. Otis, Carrier, Sikorsky and Pratt & Whittney all strong in their field. Not sufficiently knowledgeable about the UTC Fire and Security and Hamilton Sundstrand components of the overall company.

until the dems take control in 08

Full disclosure - I work for Pratt & Whitney at UTC and see how well this company is run from the inside. It is fairly impressive how good a company can be run if it truly supports the values and standards it communicates.
Now onto the business side...the overall corporation is well managed and the industries that it supports are at a good point in the cycle - JSF demonstrating vertical flight next year, India/China growth, US housing slowing, but not crashing, airline industry generally getting more healthy.
So while this year may not be a breakout year, I feel there are many reasons in the relatively near term that will drive growth. In my mind, most importantly the prospects will drive buyers in the market to see UTC (stock symbol UTX) as a good company to own. When the market perception gets behind the company the stock should charge higher.

Of course the stock currently is treading water and I believe it is due to other areas having more growth in a quickly growing economy. Now that the overall economy is not growing as quickly, quality companies will once again see buyer pick the stock up.

Not everything is rosy, housing could stagnate for years, JSF could get delayed or worse, have its funding cut due to budget overruns, India and China could turn volatile. The management team though has been led by George David and appears poised to continue what he has led in recent years.

As a stock pick, I believe UTX can be a good stable industrial that won't disappoint for investors. I own the stock because I believe it is a leader of the S&P500 and not a laggard.

Well diversified and involved in alternate fuel technologies.

Energy, energy, energy - with diversification. UT is a steady climber in the global market (ever been to a city without an Otis elevator?) Their fuel cell business is compelling and the finanicials make it a low risk buy.

Great businesses, strong financial discipline, strong balance sheet and cash flow. Cash is King

Diversified industrial. Steady performer with 60% of revenue coming from outside the US.

This stock is not a one trick pony. They have a strong domestic presence, but their track record in a global setting is quite impressive. They get into markets early, plant the seed and the grow the business. They exhibit a patience that provides exceptional returns over a longer term.

split four times since purchase.
