Sell
100,000 shares
$9,170,000
Significance 4/10

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.

March 2025
Sell
200,000 shares
$15,867,192
Significance 6/10

Director Oliver George sells 200,000 JCI shares ($15.9M) across 3 transactions; retains 1.00M shares post-sale.

Oliver George, Director of Johnson Controls International plc, executed three separate sales totaling 200,000 shares for $15,867,191.93 on March 12–14, 2025, at a blended average price of $79.34. His remaining stake of 1,003,892 shares represents a -16.6% reduction from his pre-transaction holding of 1,203,892 shares. The sales occurred as JCI stock trades at $79.65 (current price), down -10.5% over the past 30 days and -12.1% from its 52-week high of $90.60—a backdrop of recent price weakness. George's cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells with a 90-day average return of -7.0%, though his same-ticker history at JCI (5 prior trades) has no measurable outcomes yet. Notably, JCI's fundamentals present a mixed picture: the company posted $5.4B in quarterly revenue and $419.0M in net income, but annual revenue is down -14.3% year-over-year, and the stock trades at a P/E of 30.06 relative to a market cap of $52.6B. The combination of a large director-level liquidation during a 30-day downtrend, coupled with deteriorating revenue growth, merits investor attention to understand the full context of George's divestiture.

February 2025
Sell
253,739 shares
$21,345,027
Significance 7/10

JCI CEO Oliver George sold 253,739 shares for $21.3M across 5 Feb transactions; 17.4% reduction in holdings

Oliver George, Chairman & CEO of Johnson Controls International plc, executed 5 separate sales totaling 253,739 shares for $21,345,027.18 at a blended average price of $84.12 over a three-day window (2025-02-24 to 2025-02-26), reducing his holdings by 17.4% to 1,203,892 shares post-transaction. The sales occurred against a backdrop of stock trading 10.2% higher over the prior 30 days but 6.3% below the 52-week high, while the company reported declining annual revenue growth of -14.3% and a P/E ratio of 32.04. His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed sell rate across 20 prior transactions, with an average 90-day return of +5.8% following his sales—indicating his historical sells have been poorly timed, as the stock generally rises afterward. This filing warrants scrutiny given the material scale of the disposition by the chief executive during a period of revenue headwinds and elevated valuation multiples.

Sell
325,788 shares
$28,950,428
Significance 7/10

JCI CEO Oliver George sells 325,788 shares for $28,950,428.19 in four transactions over Feb 13-14; stock at 52-week high of $89.77

Oliver George executed four separate sales totaling 325,788 shares (325.8K shares) for $28,950,428.19 ($29.0M) across February 13-14, with transactions priced at $88.35, $89.06, $89.22, and $89.55, yielding a blended average price of $88.86. The sales reduce his holdings from 1,529,680 shares to 1,203,892 shares, representing a -21.3% reduction in his JCI position. Notably, these sales occur with the stock at its 52-week high of $89.77 and after a 30-day gain of +13.0%, and they follow a pattern of five prior open-market sales at JCI over February 7–11 (all outcomes currently unmeasurable). His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +5.7% after sells and a 0.00% well-timed rate (no prior sells at other companies fell in value within 90 days after sale), while his same-ticker history at JCI shows zero measurable prior outcomes. With annual revenue declining -14.3% year-over-year and a P/E of 33.88, the context is a company facing operational headwinds trading at elevated multiples, though the timing of these large-block sales at price peaks warrants scrutiny of the underlying business trajectory.

Sell
410,335 shares
$36,561,546
Significance 6/10

Johnson Controls CEO Oliver George sold 410,335 shares for $36,561,545.69 in 4 transactions at $89.06–$89.83 on Feb 10–11, reducing holdings by 25.4%.

Oliver George executed 4 separate sales totaling 410,335 shares for $36,561,545.69 on Feb 10–11 at a blended average price of $89.10, trimming his post-transaction holdings from 1.61M shares to 1.20M shares. The magnitude is substantial—a reduction of 25.4% of his pre-transaction position—and occurred as JCI's stock stands near its 52-week high ($89.52), with 30-day upside of 13.4% prior to these sales. Across his cross-ticker open-market trade history, George's 18 prior sells showed an average 90-day well-timed rate of 16.67%, but his 5 prior trades at JCI itself present a less favorable picture: four sales on Feb 6–7 lack measurable outcomes (filed too recently), while one Dec 11 sale showed a -5.4% 30-day return. The lack of a positive pattern at this specific ticker, combined with the scale and timing of the current divestiture near recent highs, merits investor scrutiny of underlying operational or strategic developments.

Sell
410,336 shares
$35,741,858
Significance 7/10

JCI CEO Oliver George sold 410,336 shares for $35,741,858.18 across four transactions, reducing holdings by 24.6%.

Oliver George executed four separate sales totaling 410,336 shares for $35,741,858.18 on February 6-7, 2025, at a blended average price of $87.10, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 1,260,526 shares from 1,670,862 shares. The CEO's prior sales at JCI (5 trades since November 2024) show a pattern of negative 30-day returns, ranging from -3.2% to -6.0%, though 90-day outcomes remain unmeasurable for most recent trades. His cross-ticker track record of 14 prior sells reflects mixed outcomes (avg 90d return +3.4%), with a well-timed rate of 16.67%. The current stock price of $87.65 is -0.4% from the 52-week high of $88.00, and the stock has risen 9.5% over the past 30 days and 3.6% over 90 days. This large liquidation by the Chairman & CEO warrants attention given the magnitude relative to his remaining position and the company's challenged fundamental backdrop (annual revenue growth of -14.3%, P/E of 33.08).

December 2024
Sell
124,497 shares
$10,363,892
Significance 5/10

Oliver George sells 124,497 JCI shares for $10,363,892.13 in 2 transactions; CEO remains heavily invested with 1,267,715 shares post-sale.

Oliver George, Chairman & CEO of Johnson Controls International plc, executed 2 separate sales on 2024-12-11, disposing of 124,497 shares for a blended average price of $83.25 per share and total proceeds of $10,363,892.13. Despite the large dollar amount, the sale represents only 8.9% of his pre-transaction holdings, leaving him with 1,267,715 shares (1.27M shares), maintaining substantial alignment with the company. The company faces headwinds with annual revenue growth of -14.3% and a P/E of 37.37 relative to its market cap of $55,179,907,965.39 ($55.2B). His cross-ticker track record across 12 prior open-market sells shows modest timing accuracy (33.33% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark), though at this specific ticker all 5 prior recent sales remain too recent to measure outcomes, limiting inference about CEO conviction or market timing judgment on the stock itself.

Sell
124,497 shares
$10,292,167
Significance 5/10

JCI Chairman & CEO Oliver George sold 124,497 shares at $82.67 (Dec 10, 2024) for $10.3M, retaining 1.27M shares post-sale.

Oliver George sold 124,497 shares at $82.67 for a total value of $10,292,166.99, reducing his holdings from 1,392,212 to 1,267,715 shares. The sale occurred near the top of the 52-week range ($52.40–$86.60), at $82.67, just 4.4% below the high. George has executed five consecutive sales at JCI between November 15 and December 10, 2024, all within a compressed 25-day window, suggesting systematic liquidation. Notably, he retains substantial holdings of 1.27M shares, and his cross-ticker track record of 11 prior sales shows mixed timing (33.33% well-timed at the 90-day mark), though his same-ticker prior trades at JCI do not yet have measurable outcomes. The company's fundamentals show a steep -14.3% annual revenue decline and an elevated P/E of 37.12, which may be informing the execution pace.

November 2024
Sell
180,734 shares
$15,131,970
Significance 7/10

JCI Chairman & CEO Oliver George sold 180,734 shares for $15,131,969.56 in two transactions at $83.70–$84.14.

Oliver George executed two separate sales on 2024-11-22 and 2024-11-25, totaling 180,734 shares (180.7K shares) for $15,131,969.56 at a blended average price of $83.73, reducing his holdings by 13.4% from 1,347,725 to 1,166,991 shares. The timing coincides with a 30-day stock appreciation of +8.6% and 90-day gain of +16.6%, with the current price of $83.34 sitting 3.8% below the 52-week high of $86.60 where George executed his sales. His cross-ticker track record shows 9 prior sells with modest 30-day and 90-day returns (averaging +3.0% and +0.3% respectively), and at JCI specifically, his two prior measurable sales from October 2024 saw positive 30-day returns (+10.9% and +9.8%), though sample sizes remain small. The sale occurs against a backdrop of material fundamental headwinds: JCI's annual revenue contracted 14.3% year-over-year, and the company trades at a P/E of 37.37 on quarterly net income of $975.0M against quarterly revenue of $7.2B, suggesting elevated valuation relative to recent operating performance.

Sell
293,534 shares
$24,397,694
Significance 6/10

JCI Chairman Oliver George sells 293,534 shares for $24.4M (blended avg $83.12); reduces stake by 20.1%

Oliver George executed 2 separate sales totaling 293,534 shares for $24,397,694.24 on 2024-11-20 and 2024-11-21, reducing his holdings from 1,460,525 shares to 1,166,991 shares—a 20.1% reduction in his post-transaction position. The timing context is mixed: the sales occurred near the 52-week high ($86.60), with the stock currently at $83.99 (-3.0% from peak), and Johnson Controls has gained 9.6% over 30 days and 17.9% over 90 days. His same-ticker history shows 5 prior sells with mostly positive near-term returns (all 30-day outcomes positive where measurable: +10.9%, +9.8%, +5.1%, +0.3%), and his one measurable 90-day outcome (2023-11-15 sell) was +4.7%—indicating prior sells at this ticker have not preceded declines. The company's fundamentals show mixed signals: $7.2B quarterly revenue, $975.0M net income, but annual revenue growth of -14.3% and an elevated P/E of 37.66, warranting attention to whether this large concentrated sale reflects concerns about valuation or operational headwinds.
