United Technologies Corp. raised its outlook for the year as
earnings and revenue in the latest quarter beat expectations.
The Farmington, Conn., aerospace company reported second-quarter
net income of $1.9 billion, or $2.20 a share, down from $2 billion,
or $2.56 a share a year earlier.
Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $1.90 a share in
profit. But adjusted earnings of $2.20 a share were above the $2.05
a share projected by analysts.
Revenue rose to $19.63 billion in the quarter, up from $16.7
billion in the comparable quarter last year, surpassing analysts'
average estimate of $19.55 billion.
Costs and expenses rose to $17.26 billion from $14.77 billion
the same period last year.
The company raised its adjusted earnings projections for 2019 to
$7.90 to $8.05 a share from its previous guidance of $7.80 to $8 a
share. Sales expectations remain the same at $75.5 billion to $77
billion, the company said.
United Technologies in June struck an all-stock deal to merge
with defense contractor Raytheon Co. after UTC executives chose to
exit the escalator and air-conditioner businesses.
The combined company, valued at more than $100 billion after
planned spinoffs, would be the world's second-largest
aerospace-and-defense company by sales behind Boeing Co., with
annual revenue of about $74 billion this year. It will make
everything from engines and seats for jetliners and F-35 jet
fighters, to Patriot missile launchers and space suits for
astronauts.
