High expectations are great for a stock when the company delivers and shareholders see nice gains in their portfolio. The trouble with high expectations (and high valuations) is that the market is quick to punish what would otherwise be a solid performance. That would seem to be the biggest risk for United Technologies (NYSE:UTX) these days, as the company continues to sport both solid performance and a healthy valuation.

Top-line growth was led by the Otis business, while Hamilton Sunstrand and Carrier were close behind. Pratt & Whitney and Sikorsky were the laggards this quarter, but both still posted better than 5% revenue growth.
