Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE:JCI) Plunges After Earnings, Know This Trade Level

Today, leading global diversified technology and multi industrial company, Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE:JCI), is declining lower by nearly 6.0 percent. The fall in JCI stock comes after the company reported earnings and guided FY18 below consensus. These days if a company's guidance is poor the stock will usually suffer.

JCI stock is now trading below its important 200 and 50-day moving averages. This puts the stock in a weak technical chart position. Often when a stock sells off with this pattern and volume it will signal further downside is in the cards before a bottom can be found. Traders should now watch the $34.50 area as the next major support level. This institutional support area is where the stock broke out in April 2016. Generally, when stocks test past breakout levels they will initially be supported by the institutional crowd.

JCI Johnson Controls Q1 misses; lowers 2012 forecast
PROVIDED BY Reuters - 7:18 AM 01/19/2012

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Auto-parts supplier Johnson Controls Inc (JCI) posted quarterly results below expectations, and cut its 2012 earnings forecast citing lower automotive production in Europe and weak aftermarket battery demand.

The U.S.-based company is also assuming an indefinite shutdown of its Shanghai battery plant even as talks with the Chinese government continue.

Johnson Controls (JCI) now expects 2012 profit of $2.70 to $2.85 a share, down from its earlier forecast of $2.85 to $3 a share.

Its first-quarter net income was $410 million, or 60 cents a share, up from $375 million, or 55 cents a share, a year ago.

Revenue rose 9 percent to $10.4 billion.

Analysts expected earnings of 62 cents a share on revenue of $10.52 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. (Reporting by A. Ananthalakshmi in Bangalore; Editing by Maju Samuel)

More Pros Dipping Into Battery Stocks

The budding electric vehicle segment has seen growing investor attention with the anticipated release of various plug-ins from major automakers, as well as the Q2 IPO of electric sports car maker Tesla Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA - News). There are some lofty projections for plug-in proliferation over the next 20 years, and the development of battery technology will likely play an important role in the sector's ultimate success or failure. Warren Buffett put some Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A - News, BRK-B - News) capital to work in Hong Kong shares of Chinese battery and electric car player BYD Co (Pink Sheets: BYDDF - News) back in 2008, and recent second-quarter disclosures suggest that some other asset managers were entering the space as well.

At the end of the second quarter, more than half of the Energy Storage and Battery Technology Stocks Index's 19 components were in the top-15 U.S.-listed equity holdings of at least one 13F-filing asset manager.

Large-cap Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI - News) took the top spot in Pro popularity at the end of Q2 with 16 Pros holding the stock near the top of their portfolios. Meanwhile, Energizer Holdings (NYSE: ENR - News) had 10 Pro holders by the same criteria, and EnerSys (NYSE: ENS - News), Polypore International (NYSE: PPO - News), and A123 Systems (NASDAQ: AONE - News) were also among favorites.

Johnson Controls profit rises 11 percent

The Business Journal of Milwaukee

Thursday, July 17, 2008 - 11:11 AM CDT

http://milwaukee.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/stories/2008/07/14/daily36.html?ana=yfcpc

Johnson Controls Inc. reported Thursday that net income for the fiscal third quarter increased 11 percent, backed by double-digit income growth in all three of its businesses.

The Glendale-based provider of facility management systems and automotive interiors and power products reported net income for the three months ended June 30 of $439 million, or 73 cents per share, compared with $396 million, or 66 cents per share, for the same period a year ago.

Net sales for the company increased to $10 billion from $8.9 billion.

Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) posted operating income growth in its building efficiency, automotive experience and power solutions businesses of 10 percent, 11 percent and 22 percent, respectively.

The firm said its building efficiency unit, which posted sales growth of 13 percent, is benefiting from higher energy prices as customers are looking for more efficient facility management systems. Automotive experience sales were up slightly, with sales growth in Europe and Asia offsetting the 15 percent decline in North American sales resulting from the sagging domestic automotive industry.

The power solutions segment saw sales rise 36 percent mainly because of higher unit prices resulting from an increase in the price of lead.

For the nine months ended June 30, net income increased to $963 million, or $1.60 per share, compared with $786 million, or $1.32 per share, the year before. Net sales increased to $28.8 billion from $25.6 billion.

The company is forecasting fourth-quarter earnings of 72 cents to 74 cents a share. That would be down from 78 cents per share a year ago. For the full year, earnings are expected to be between $2.32 and $2.34 a share, an increase of 10 to 11 percent compared with a year ago.

Eco-Awareness Boosts Johnson Controls

Melanie Lindner, 01.18.08, 5:45 PM ET

Rising environmental consciousness has helped drive business for eco-friendly builders like Johnson Controls.

Johnson Controls (nyse: JCI - news - people ), known for eco-friendly building and automotive interior products and services, said on Friday that its first-quarter profits jumped 45.0% on growth is all of its divisions. The Milwaukee-based company reported earnings of $235.0 million, or 39 cents per share, compared with $162.0 million, or 27 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2006.

Sales for the period ending Dec. 31 jumped to $9.48 billion, up 16.0% from $8.21 billion in the year ago quarter.

Johnson Controls beat the estimates of analyst polled by Thomson Financial, which predicted earnings of 37 cents per share on sales of $9.1 billion.

Johnson Controls operates through three businesses: building efficiency, which designs, produces and installs integrated heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; automotive experience, which provides interior systems to more than 30.0 million vehicles each year; and power solutions, which produces lead-acid automotive batteries to original equipment manufacturers and the vehicle battery aftermarket.

In the first quarter, Johnson Controls experiences growth in all three of its businesses. Building efficiency sales jumped 11.0% to $3.2 billion, power solutions sales skyrocketed 55.0% to $1.7 billion and automotive experience sales reached $4.6 billion, up 11.0% from the first quarter of 2007.

According to Johnson Control's executives, the growth in the company's building efficiency sales is attributable to an increased global demand for energy efficient building and a rising concern for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Johnson Controls reiterated its full-year 2008 guidance, forecasting earnings in a range of $2.45 per share to $2.50 per share on sales of about $38.0 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial are estimating Johnson Control's 2008 profit will reach $2.49 per share on sales of $38.1 billion.

For the second quarter, the company predicts earnings will reach a range of 47 cents to 48 cents per share. Analysts estimate Johnson Control's second-quarter earnings will be 46 cents per share.

Citigroup analyst Itay Michaeli views Johnson Controls as a "high-quality, well-diversified supplier" with a solid track record for growth. While the analyst noted that the company has a diverse customer and business mix that should support sustainable earnings momentum, Michaeli believes the shares are fairly valued versus operating expectations.

Despite its better-than-expected first-quarter results, Johnson Controls dipped 5.2%, or $1.75, to $32.01, in Friday trading amidst a down day on Wall Street.

Johnson Controls In Control

Miriam Marcus, 04.17.08, 3:42 AM ET

http://tinyurl.com/5zm6rz

Record sales and income in the most recent quarter for Johnson Controls are helping to ease the minds of investors, who, with unprecedently high oil prices in mind, have been wary of putting their money into automotive- and construction-related companies.

On Wednesday, the building and automotive systems maker reported a 27% jump in profit for its second fiscal quarter, which ended March 31. The Milwaukee-based company’s three business segments--building efficiency, automotive interiors and power solutions--all logged sales increases, beating analysts’ expectations.

Shares of Johnson Controls (nyse: JCI - news - people ) rose $1.92, or 5.9%, to close at $34.55.

“We are executing on our growth strategies and improving our productivity and cost structure,” said Johnson Controls Chairman and Chief Executive Stephen A. Roell. “Our focus on delivering greater value by improving comfort, safety and sustainability and our increasing presence in growing international markets will enable us to achieve a record performance in 2008.”

Calyon Securities analyst Mark B. Warnsman had anticipated weakness in automotive production, which makes up 51.6% of Johnson Controls' business, softness in commercial building and increased costs owing to rising commodity prices, particularly of lead, a key ingredient for its battery business. Warnsman conceded that these concerns “proved to be baseless with regards to earnings in the quarter.”

Johnson Controls logged a profit of $289.0 million, or 48 cents per diluted share, on sales of $9.4 billion, up substantially from the year-earlier quarter, when it posted a profit of $228 million, or 38 cents per diluted share, on sales of $8.5 billion.

Profit from its building efficiency unit, which makes HVAC equipment, refrigeration and fire and security systems, increased 29.2% to $177.0 million on higher global volume and improved margins. The general slowdown in overall construction activity, a result of the mortgage meltdown, led to concerns that Johnson Controls’ commercial building business would soften, said Briggs-Ficks Securities analyst John Collopy. But Warnsman explained that just 25% of the company's building controls business is related to new construction. Of that, one-third is overseas, where growth is still strong, and the other two-thirds is related to “institutional type buildings” which, from his experience, will be less affected by macroeconomic conditions.

Automotive profit rose 28.1%, to $155 million, with cost cutting and improved pricing making up for a tepid 2% rise in sales. Sales in this segment were down 7% in North America, the company reported, but rose 9% in Europe and 8% in Asia. "Domestic sales are down but not unexpectedly given the general malaise here," Collopy said. Johnson Controls added that "its backlog of new business continued to increase in the second quarter as it received new interiors orders from Dacia, First Auto Works, Ford, General Motors, Kia, Nissan and Volkswagen."

Power solutions earnings jumped 30.1%, to $121 million, on operational efficiencies and improved performance of joint ventures in Asia. Collopy observed that because of Johnson Controls' pricing profile it can “pass through raw material cost increases.”

Demand for efficient buildings lifts Johnson Controls profit

Wednesday April 16, 4:46 pm ET

By Emily Fredrix, AP Business Writer

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080416/earns_johnson_controls.html?.v=5

Demand for efficient buildings boosts Johnson Controls 2Q profit by 27 percent


MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Global demand for energy efficient buildings helped boost second-quarter profit 27 percent at Johnson Controls Inc., a maker of building and auto systems.
The news lifted shares of the Milwaukee-based company by as much as 9 percent during Wednesday trading. The stock closed at $34.52, up $1.89, or 5.8 percent.

Johnson Controls said Wednesday it earned $289 million, or 48 cents per share, in the quarter ending March 31, compared with $228 million, or 38 cents, in the same period a year earlier.

Quarterly sales rose 11 percent to $9.41 billion.

The results just beat expectations of analysts, who had expected earnings of 47 cents per share on revenue of $9.37 billion, according to a poll by Thomson Financial.

Building efficiency sales climbed 11 percent to $3.3 billion due to growing demand for such systems in nonresidential buildings, the company said. The systems improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The backlog of uncompleted contracts at the end of March was up 15 percent from the previous year to $4.5 billion.

Power solutions sales, which includes batteries, leapt 47 percent to $1.5 billion in the quarter. The increase was mainly due to higher prices because of increased lead costs, the company said.

Sales of automotive interiors increased 2 percent to $4.6 billion, but the U.S. sector continued to slump. Sales in North America slipped 7 percent, while U.S. light vehicle production fell 8 percent. But in Europe, sales of interiors gained 9 percent, as light vehicle production edged up 1 percent. In Asia/Pacific, sales of automotive interiors advanced 8 percent.

The company maintained its expectations for third-quarter earnings of between 74 and 76 cents per share. But Johnson Controls increased by $1 billion its full-year sales forecast, to $39 billion.

Chairman and Chief Executive Stephen A. Roell said the company will be able to achieve its predicted growth.

"We are well positioned to achieve sustainable, profitable growth and are confident in our ability to achieve our financial targets," he said.

I read the 3rd quarter reports this morning and figured "okay, a little less rosy, but still a highly profitable, diverse company". I then watched it drop over 10 bucks a share.

So, I read through all the releases today. Am I missing something or was it just a huge panic?

hmmmm....sold my shares 1/16 so I can pay closing costs on my house and today they announce they exceeded the Street's earnings projections and it pops up over $2/share.

Arrrrggg!!!!

I'll be back..........
