Johnson Controls (JCI) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Johnson Controls (JCI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Johnson Controls International reported a strong financial performance with organic sales increasing approximately 10.0% year-over-year, exceeding both internal estimates and market consensus. The company achieved a record backlog of $13.2 billion, driven by robust demand for its systems and services, particularly in datacenters, indicating strong future revenue visibility. Additionally, overall orders grew 16% organically, underlining the positive momentum in the company’s business segments, which are primarily focused on commercial HVAC and fire and security solutions.
Bears say
Johnson Controls International faces a negative outlook primarily due to its persistent low earnings quality, marked by sub-100% free cash flow conversion and reduced profit margins over the past seven years when excluding one-time restructuring costs. The company is also grappling with a significant revenue headwind of approximately $200 million per quarter in its Global Products segment, which translates to an estimated EPS dilution of about $0.08 or 2%. Additionally, the recent decline in organic sales within the Building Solutions APAC segment, combined with below-consensus earnings guidance, further underscores the challenges that could lead to a valuation compression in the future.
