BUY
A great company trading at a reasonable valuation. The United Technologies merger makes sense and enlarge the company a lot. 25% of their business is cybersecurity--where the next war will be fought. RTN is a leader in this space. This is a huge cash flow machine.

PAST TOP PICK
(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.

COMMENT
WAIT
They recently announced a complex merger with United Technologies, which itself is breaking up. This deal overhang will last another 12 months. There is some synergy here, but not an obvious one. He's lukewarm on the deal.

BUY
Right now UTX-N is a nice buying opportunity. They will spinoff some assets and will be involved with RTN-N in a merger, which will create some great opportunities. They sell original equipment with service contracts attached to generate good margins for 10 years or more. This makes them more defensive.

TOP PICK
Defense and intelligence company. The world's getting meaner and nastier. Of all the defense companies, it has the largest exposure to cybersecurity, which is where the next war will be fought. So it's going to be big business. Global leader. Yield is 2.11%. (Analysts’ price target is $208.24)
John O'Connell, CFAOwned
Defense
TOP PICK
He bought in the last couple of weeks with his target being $220. US defense budgets will hang in under Trump. The outlook in missile defense and the middle east will hang in. They are also a leader in intelligence, software encryption and so on. (Analysts’ price target is $207.05)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 08/18, Down 10%) Broadly speaking the aerospace arena is still favorable. The market has dialed down a little as more peaceful discussions have started with North Korea. He still wants to hold and likes their investment into electronic defense technology.

TOP PICK
Defence has been a great sector for many years and governments around the world are driving rising demand. Saudi Arabia, for example, is buying their Patriot defence missile. However, 25% of its revenues come from cybersecurity, which is a huge growth area. (Analysts’ price target is $205.95)
