Pre-Market Analysis on United Technologies, FLIR Systems, L-3 Comm., and Embraer
LONDON, April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Governments in U.S. and Europe have been scaling back their spending on defense as they look to bring down their fiscal deficits. In the U.S., lawmakers' failure to reach an agreement on reducing the country's fiscal deficit resulted in the Sequester, or automatic spending cuts, worth $85 billion which took effect in March 2013. Nearly half of these spending cuts will affect defense, which will have a significant impact on companies such as United Technologies Corporation (NYSE: UTX), FLIR Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR), Embraer SA (ADR) (NYSE: ERJ), and L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LLL). Aerospace and defense stocks ended mostly higher on Tuesday, tracking gains in the broad market, which rose on the back of some robust economic data from China.
