Lastly, shares of United Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX) are down 2.5%, making United Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX) the worst-performing Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) component of the day. The company announced first-quarter earnings of $1.39 per share, while analysts were only expecting $1.29 per share. However, revenue of $14.4 billion fell short of analyst expectations of $14.9 billion. The company also reiterated its 2013 full-year EPS estimate of $5.85 to $6.15 on sales of $64 billion to $65 billion. The miss on the top line and the fact that management did not raise its full-year EPS estimate higher are two likely reasons the shares have headed south today.
