NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that United Technologies’ earnings forecast relied on planning assumptions for its UTC Aerospace Systems (“UTAS”) and Otis Elevator Co. (“Otis”) units that were not fully scrutinized and were far too aggressive. On July 21, 2015, United Technologies cut its 2015 earnings guidance due to weak performance by the UTAS and Otis units. On this news, shares of United Technologies fell $7.77 per share or over 7% to close at $102.71 per share on July 21, 2015, damaging investors.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 11, 2017.
