United Technologies Profit Beats Estimates on Plane Components

United Technologies Corp. (UTX) reported third-quarter profit that beat analysts’ estimates, driven by sales of air conditioners and aircraft components.

Net income rose 1.2 percent to $1.43 billion, or $1.55 a share, from $1.42 billion, or $1.37, a year earlier, the Hartford, Connecticut-based company said today in a statement. Analysts projected $1.54, the average of 20 estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

United Technologies also boosted the lower end of its full-year earnings per share forecast today to a range of $6.10 to $6.15, up from $6 to $6.15, previously. Full-year sales will be about $63 billion, down from a prior projection of $64 billion.

The “weakness in military aerospace markets and slow pace of recovery in Europe” will damp annual revenue, Chief Executive Officer Louis Chenevert said today. read more about UTX.
