What’s Next For Johnson Controls Stock?

Johnson Controls stock (NYSE: JCI) has seen an 8% fall in a month, compared to a 10% fall seen in the broader S&P500 index. There are a couple of factors behind this fall for JCI stock. Firstly, the rising interest rates and economic slowdown don’t bode well for building-related demand. Secondly, the company’s $0.27 cut in earnings guidance (at the mid-point of the range) for the full-fiscal 2022 due to supply chain disruptions didn’t sit well with the investors. These factors, clubbed with weakness in the broader markets, have weighed on JCI stock.

Now that JCI stock has seen a fall of 8% in a month, will it continue its downward trajectory, or is a rise imminent? Going by historical performance, there is a high chance of an increase in JCI stock over the next month. A move of -8% or more in a month for Johnson Controls has occurred 242 times in the past ten years.
