Things were going well for United Technologies (UTX) this morning–until the bottom dropped out.
Getty ImagesShares of the industrial giant were up as much as 0.6% this morning, but at around 11 a.m, the stock started falling. And falling. By the time it hit bottom, United Tech had dropped nearly 2% from high to low.
What happened? It appears to be a presentation made to investors and analysts, where United Tech offered guidance of $6 to $6.15 a share and revenue of about $64 billion, although the exact timing remains unclear. Analysts had been forecasting $6.15 and $63.95, respectively.
Since the initial drop, shares of United Tech have bounced back a bit. They’re down 0.8% at $106.93 at 12:03 p.m. That drop puts it out of step with other industrial stocks, which have been stronger today. General Electric (GE), for instance, has gained 1.1% to $24.16, Honeywell International (HON) has ticked up 0.2% to $83.19, Esterline (ESL) has risen 0.7% to $80.45 and Northrop Grumman (NOC) is up 0.6% at $95.87.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By David Sterman]
Auto parts maker Visteon (NYSE: VC) clearly embodies the new thinking about share buybacks. The company announced plans last month to sell its $1.5 billion stake in a joint venture with a Chinese partner. Visteon could have looked to pay down debt or make an acquisition, or simply keep the ($1.2 billion after-tax) proceeds. Instead, almost all of the money will go toward a share buyback that might reduce shares outstanding by 25%.

The housing market boom seemed to be losing steam earlier this year, but then housing starts for July shot through the proverbial roof. There's also an encouraging uptick in applications for building permits this summer, suggesting that the party -- at least on the supply side of the equation -- isn't over just yet. We'll get a better read on the state of the industry when luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers (TOL) reports on Wednesday. Fellow developer Hovnanian Enterprises (HOV) checks in on Thursday morning. Thursday -- Don't Be Chicken
- [By Ben Levisohn]
Note these are some of the same sequential occurrences (slowing) we saw in the recent report from Toll Brothers (TOL).� Very curious on how the stock acts today (and the entire homebuilder complex, such an Owens Corning�(OC) and Home Depot (HD)); does market focus on slowing trends that were caused by the summer rate spike (and the prospect they may continue due to worsening housing affordability) or a possibly re-acceleration in demand with mortgage rates back in check?
