On CAPS, 96% of the 1,615 members who have rated United Tech believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those bulls, DanFPilot, succinctly summed up the United Tech bull case for our community:
A great core holding in a profitable, well-run enterprise. ... An outstanding company. Also, [United Tech] is the owner of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Engines that is truly a legend in the aviation industry. I could go on about [United Tech's] numbers but that would be somewhat pointless. Not a growth stock but a stable and consistent performer with a solid dividend history.
