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.

VP/President Americas Todd M Grabowski sells 6,050 JCI shares in 2 transactions for $816,119.50 blended at $134.90

Todd M Grabowski, VP and President of Americas at Johnson Controls, executed 2 separate sales totaling 6,050 shares for $816,119.50 on February 6, 2026, reducing his holdings by 14.8% from 40,886 shares to 34,836 shares. The blended average sale price of $134.90 sits 2.7% below the current market price of $138.75, which itself trades 0.2% from the 52-week high of $139.00 near recent peak valuations. The stock has appreciated 25.2% over the prior 30 days and 13.1% over 90 days, positioning this sale in a window of sustained upward momentum and near all-time highs for the company.

Director Vergnano buys 7,665 shares of JCI at $131.94; stock now at $132.52 near 52-week high.

Director Mark Vergnano purchased 7,665 shares at $131.94 on 2026-02-05, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 3,065 shares. The purchase occurred when Johnson Controls' stock stands at $132.52, near the 52-week high of $132.52, after a notable +16.3% gain over the past 30 days and +8.4% over 90 days. This open-market buy by a director during a period of significant upward price momentum warrants investor attention, particularly given the company's solid fundamentals with $5.8B quarterly revenue, $524.0M net income, and a market cap of $81.1B. The transaction size and timing relative to recent share appreciation should be tracked to understand whether this reflects opportunistic accumulation or confidence in continued momentum.

Exec VP & General Counsel Donofrio sells 21,595 shares of JCI at $116.00 for $2,505,020.00; reduces stake by 52.5%.

Donofrio sold 21,595 shares at $116.00, reducing his holdings from 41,106 shares to 19,511 shares—a 52.5% reduction. His cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior sells with a 14.29% well-timed rate, indicating his historical sells have not consistently preceded stock declines. At JCI specifically, his 5 prior sales showed 0 of 5 well-timed outcomes at the 90-day mark, with an average 90-day return of +5.0%, meaning the stock rose after those sales. The current price of $118.06 is 3.8% below the 52-week high of $122.66; the stock has declined 3.2% in the last 30 days but risen 9.8% over 90 days. JCI trades at a P/E of 18.89 with $6.1B in latest-quarter revenue and $701.0M net income. The sale's timing relative to company fundamentals and recent price action does not suggest an attempt to avoid an imminent decline.

VP Global Products Schlitz Lei Zhang sells 32,031 JCI shares at $113.20 for $3.6M, reducing holdings by 32.4%

Schlitz Lei Zhang sold 32,031 shares at $113.20 on 2025-11-21, representing a 32.4% reduction in his JCI holdings from 98,811 to 66,780 shares. This is his second sell at JCI within 16 days (prior sell on 2025-11-06), suggesting a pattern of liquidation. The transaction occurred at $113.20, versus the current price of $114.65; the stock is trading 6.5% below its 52-week high of $122.66 and up 4.9% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior sell (timing outcome not yet measurable), providing minimal historical context for interpreting his typical transaction patterns. No FLAGS appear to govern this transaction, and the company's fundamentals remain stable (revenue $6.1B, net income $701.0M, P/E 18.34).

VP & Pres Global Products Lei Zhang sells 10,500 JCI shares at $122.03; reduces holding 8.4% amid +12.8% 30-day rally

Lei Zhang, VP & President of Global Products at Johnson Controls, sold 10,500 shares ($1,281,315.00 value) on 2025-11-06 at $122.03, reducing his stake from 125,719 shares to 115,219 shares. The sale occurred as JCI stock has risen 12.8% over the prior 30 days and 15.8% over the prior 90 days, now trading at $122.25, just off its 52-week high of $122.25. The transaction is notable given the company's challenging operational context: revenue declined 14.3% year-over-year (latest quarter revenue $6,052,000,000), and the P/E ratio stands at 35.85, reflecting elevated valuation relative to current earnings power. No prior transaction history or scheduled trading plan flags are provided, making this a discretionary open-market sale during a period of positive price momentum.

VP APAC Rathninde Anuruddha sold 15,000 JCI shares at $103.13; holdings down to 42,574 shares (-26.1%)

Rathninde Anuruddha, VP and President of APAC, sold 15,000 shares (15.0K shares) of Johnson Controls International plc (JCI) at $103.13 on 2025-06-06, reducing holdings by 26.1% to 42,574 shares. The sale occurred near the company's 52-week high of $103.79, with stock momentum showing +15.6% over 30 days and +29.6% over 90 days, following a sharp rebound from the year's low of $65.52. Against this backdrop, the company is facing structural revenue headwinds—annual revenue declined 14.3% year-over-year to $5.7B latest quarter—while carrying a elevated P/E of 27.24 relative to historical norms. This combination of a substantial reduction in officer-level holdings at peak valuation alongside deteriorating top-line fundamentals merits investor attention, though the significance is moderated by the VP's retention of 42,574 shares, indicating continued material exposure.

Director Oliver George sold 100,000 shares of JCI at $91.70 on 2025-05-09 (9.2M value). Stock now at $95.28.

Oliver George, a Director at Johnson Controls International, sold 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) at $91.70 on 2025-05-09, reducing holdings by 10.0% to 901.7K shares and generating $9,170,000.00 in proceeds. The stock has subsequently risen to $95.28, trading at its 52-week high (+0.0% from peak) and up 22.6% over 30 days and 6.9% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating historically poor timing on sales; at JCI specifically, his 5 prior trades (all sells) have shown mixed near-term outcomes with a -2.6% average 30-day return. The company faces headwinds with -14.3% annual revenue growth, though current fundamentals include $5.7B quarterly revenue and $478.0M net income.

JCI CFO Marc Vandiepenbeeck sold 28,289 shares for $2,572,167.85 on 2025-05-08 at blended price $90.92

Vandiepenbeeck, JCI's EVP and CFO, executed two separate sales totaling 28,289 shares for $2,572,167.85, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 147,673 shares from 175,962 shares (a -16.1% reduction).

JCI's stock has risen 28.2% over the past 30 days and 4.1% over the past 90 days, placing the stock at its year-long peak. The sale is material in absolute dollars but the reduction in holdings (16.1%) is noteworthy in the context of a company with a P/E of 23.95 and recent quarterly revenue of $5,676,000,000.00, though annual revenue growth stands at -14.3%.
