UTX merging with Raytheon He owns Raytheon and this deal with UTX is a great combination. Before the merger, UTX will spinoff its elevator division--a taxable event for Canadian. For Canadians to lower this tax hit, buy Raytheon. Recommended. UTX may struggle a bit because of Boeing's 737 Max woes (UTX makes engines), but long-term aerospace looks healthy. There are 26,000 commercial planes now, but by 2030 there need to 35,000, outpacing GDP growth. Combined synergies will make this company powerful.

Merging with Raytheon and spinning off their subdivisions He really likes it, has been a past top pick. You can buy it today based on valuation, trading at 17x earnings. They will combine their aerospace with Raytheon to be a pure play, then spin off other divisions--HVAC and Otis Elevators. This plan will create shareholder value, long-term. It trades at a decent 17x earnings; that pure play will push the value above 20x earnings. The other businesses won't be valued as highly, because they don't grow, but will free them to pursue M&A. He sees 20-30% upside.

The big thing here to be cautious is the tax implications. United is going to spin off divisions as part of this merger and as they do if you hold in a Canadian taxable account you are going to have to pay 50% of the value of the spin-off. Owns Raytheon now. Great company if you want to hold it longer terms.

Pending breakup? He really likes the industrial space and this is a very diverse company. He likes how they new organization will be broken up following the Raytheon merger and that should lead to higher overall value. It is well positioned for a re-acceleration of the economy. A pick up in China would help their elevator business. Yield 2%

Interesting company. You could buy it, as Raytheon will add a lot to it. Spending will continue, no matter who is in charge in the US. Positive on it long-term. Take a half position to hedge your bets.

For a cyclical sector like industrials, you have to be really confident that the economy has room to run. He doesn't think there's a recession in 6 months, but still thinks you have to be careful at this late stage in the cycle. Still, he likes this name amongst its peers.

He's not certain if they've gone the split route. If this is the case, it's probably not the best move to make. It's one of the huge conglomerates from the 1960s and they probably need to split up.

An industrial type conglomerate. They have performed well in the last couple of years. Well diversified. If it keeps moving down to $100, would look more closely at it.

They agreed to a merger with UTX-N and will form a really interesting industrial as they spin off OTIS, their carrier division, and have in the past spun off Goodrich. IIS with Raytheon is growing very, very rapidly. It is a very interesting opportunity.

(A Top Pick Aug 08/18, Down 1%) UTX-N is a diversified company in the aerospace, HVAC and elevator space. They will spin off some of these holdings and plan to merge with RTN-N. This may have caused some confusion in the investors mind. She thinks the some of the parts is worth more the share price today. She likes the reoccuring revenues that goes with the service contracts.

It'll get killed in a recession; capital spending will go south. AC, elevators and advanced avionics for civil and military use will grow. Defense systems will use more and more advanced electronics. They had good, not stellar, earnings. The stock hasn't been bad. This is too cyclical for his tastes--not a good time to buy it.

Plan to break up 3 main platforms, and merge aerospace with Raytheon. Can easily see valuation of 30-40-50% above where it currently is. Yield is 2.15%. (Analysts’ price target is $154.40)

The defense and aerospace sectors he really likes. There has been very, very good secular growth there and it will continue to consolidate. He would be a buyer of the stock right here.
