JCI Johnson Controls International plc Insider Trading

VP Americas Todd M Grabowski sold 4,274 JCI shares at $145.50 on 2026-05-14 for $621,867.00

Grabowski sold 4,274 shares at $145.50, reducing his holdings by 13.2% to 28,015 shares. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $147.32, and the current price of $137.50 is 6.7% below that peak. His prior two sales at JCI both showed positive 90-day returns (3.3% and 2.7%), meaning the stock subsequently rose after those sales—a pattern that does not support well-timed selling at this ticker. The magnitude of this transaction is modest relative to his total holdings, and the sale sits in a relatively elevated price zone for the stock, but the historical data at JCI does not indicate he has successfully timed exits before.

VP of GP & Solutions Schlitz Lei Zhang exercises stock options and sells net 26k shares; prior sales have shown conflicting timing outcomes.

Schlitz Lei Zhang, VP and President of GP & Solutions, executed a paired exercise-and-sell transaction, acquiring roughly 63k shares through two option exercises and immediately disposing of approximately 89k shares, resulting in a net reduction of over 26k shares. The current sale prices cluster tightly in the $140–$142 range, with the stock currently trading just below its 52-week high and near the levels where Zhang is transacting. Zhang has now completed four open-market sales in the past six months, with no open-market purchases in the same window—a consistent pattern of net disposition. However, his prior sales at this ticker tell a mixed timing story: the most recent prior sale in late November was well-timed, as the stock subsequently declined in the following month, yet that same sale was poorly timed over a longer horizon as the stock rebounded significantly. An earlier November sale followed the opposite pattern—an initial decline that reversed into substantial gains. This conflicting near-term versus longer-term timing, combined with the profitable fundamentals and lofty valuation multiple the company carries, means this sale warrants attention without signaling clear insider alarm.
