Wells Fargo analyst Joe O'Dea maintains $Johnson Controls (JCI.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $90.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 63.7% and a total average return of 10.6% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Johnson Controls (JCI.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Johnson Controls displayed a robust quality of earnings in its fourth quarter, characterized by considerable incrementals and free cash flow, alongside vigorous growth in the datacenter segment and a significant margin expansion in Global Products. Nevertheless, the current valuation presents a balanced risk-reward scenario.
Johnson Controls' shares saw an upward movement after reporting Q4 results that surpassed both revenue and earnings expectations, coupled with the introduction of a $500M cost savings program. The company's projection for FY25 EPS aligns closely with consensus estimates, and demand trends are showing favorable signs.
The firm indicated that FQ4 results surpassed Street forecasts, primarily due to strong margin performance in Global Products, which compensated for the varied results in Building Solutions, where revenue was above expectations but margins were not as robust.
