Lastly, the analysts at RBC capital downgraded United Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX) to ‘Sector Perform’ from ‘Outperform’ and lowered their price target to $100 from $113, as the analysts think the stock is fairly valued at its current 14.2 times forward earnings multiple. The analysts don’t think there is much more organic growth upside outside of United Technologies’ defense and construction units, which make up just 40% of segment operating income. United Technologies can still provide upside, however, if management makes accretive acquisitions like the company’s Goodrich acquisition in 2011.
