UTX posted a Valentine's Day dividend, and now it's time to consider buying back into them. Despite an earnings miss, they're going strong with high winds on the US Federal budget negotiations in Washington yielding to compromise and better news for their Carrier and Otis Elevator brands appearing stronger through higher revenues favoring better terms on their plan to spin those off in 2020 to form a more aerospace oriented firm. With strong fundamentals, and a good position in the Dow 30, the time to buy after ex-dividend dates is now.
Technicals show a strong but methodical plod upward with both MACD and ADX and directional movement showing no signs of the trend slowing down even if RSI appears slightly overbought hovering over 75 for the last two days, but that's OK around dividend payouts. The stochastic oscillator is very flat indicating that a strong breakout either up or down couple happen any day. Expect resistance at previous highs with strong signs of continuation if UTX can close and remain over the previous one of 132 and again at 140, 144 as well as potential profit taking swings from those that bought in post-earnings. Short interest is roughly 15% the average daily trading volume but appears to have no hold on the upward price momentum.
