In recent market developments, Johnson Controls International Plc JCI has been showing strong performance, frequently outperforming competitors on trading days. Its Q2 2024 Earnings Call Transcript reveals steadfast earnings and reveals that the sales remained flat for the company. Interestingly, the firm might be considering the sale of its ADT Alarms business. The appointment of Chris Bontempo as Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer anticipates added momentum to the company's marketing strategy.
Johnson Controls has also drawn attention of Victory Capital Management and National Bank of Canada FI who have increased their stakes in the company. Conversely, Russell Investments Group and Amalgamated Bank have reduced their stakes. The company has achieved its Q2 earnings mark and has increased its FY 21 View. However, Barclays have cut Johnson Controls' price target to $59.00.
The company also announced its quarterly dividend and priced its senior notes offering. Despite facing a global sales slump and a cyberattack impacting earnings, Johnson Controls still managed to report solid Q1 results, even adjusting its FY24 guidance amidst flat Q1 Sales. But, the strong trading performance did see a few dips which was attributed to underperformance when compared with competitors. Johnson Controls reports indicate solid progress towards sustainability targets for 2024, which further reinstates its commitment to ESG factors. Recently, Johnson Controls unveiled its New OpenBlue Security Service, paving a way towards leveraging artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud Computing for transforming the future of smart buildings. Furthermore, the company is also rated by Ethisphere as one of the global most ethical companies.
