Sell-side analysts expect United Technologies' EPS to be near $1.53 on sales of $16.88 billion.
United Technologies EPS in the same period a year ago totaled $1.60 and sales were $15.68 billion. If the company were to report inline earnings when it publishes results, earnings would be down 4.38 percent. Revenue would be up 7.65 percent from the same quarter last year. United Technologies's reported EPS has stacked up against analyst estimates in the past like this:
| Quarter | Q3 2018 | Q2 2018 | Q1 2018 | Q4 2017 |
| EPS Estimate | 1.82 | 1.85 | 1.51 | 1.55 |
| EPS Actual | 1.93 | 1.97 | 1.77 | 1.6 |
Stock Performance
Over the last 52-week period, shares are down 15.27 percent. Given that these returns are generally negative, long-term shareholders are probably unhappy going into this earnings release. Analyst estimates are adjusted lower for EPS and revenues over the past 90 days. Analysts have been rating United Technologies stock as Neutral.
