Johnson Controls rated 'Buy' on strong EPS growth and cost control despite valuation above average.

Johnson Controls (JCI) receives a 'Buy' rating due to operationally-driven earnings per share (EPS) growth and effective cost discipline, particularly through SG&A leverage. While the company's services segment, important for long-term earnings quality, grows slower than its systems segment, management's execution and backlog pricing help mitigate risks such as input cost pressures and potential valuation de-rating. The current valuation at 25 times forward earnings is above its five-year average, with an optimal buying range suggested between $138 and $147. This reflects confidence in JCI's ability to capitalize on increasing demand for cooling equipment in hotter, more power-intensive buildings.
