We expect the company\u2019s revenues to come in at $7.1 billion, aligning with the consensus estimate. This would mark year-over-year growth of about 6%. Earnings will likely come in at about $1.10 on a per-share and adjusted basis, also falling in line with the consensus estimate.

However, the increase in JCI stock has been far from consistent. Returns for the stock were 75% in 2021, -21% in 2022, and -21% in 2023. In comparison, returns for the S&amp;P 500 have been 27% in 2021, -19% in 2022, and 13% in 2023 &#8211; indicating that <strong>JCI underperformed the S&amp;P<\/strong> in 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, <strong>consistently beating the S&amp;P 500<\/strong> &#8211; in good times and bad &#8211; has been difficult over recent years for individual stocks; for heavyweights in the industrials sector, including UPS, CAT, and UNP, and even for the mega-cap stars GOOG, TSLA, and MSFT. In contrast, the Trefis High Quality Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has <strong>outperformed the S&amp;P 500 each year<\/strong> over the same period. <strong>Why is that?<\/strong> As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index, less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.<\/p>\n<p>Given the current uncertain macroeconomic environment with high oil prices and elevated interest rates, could JCI face a similar situation as it did in 2022 and 2023 and <strong>underperform the S&amp;P<\/strong> over the next 12 months &#8211; or will it see a strong jump? Going by our <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/JCI\/no-login-required\/R7RnJLEe\/Johnson-Controls-JCI-Valuation-Is-JCI-Stock-Expensive-Or-Cheap-?fromforbesandarticle=trefis231023\">Johnson Controls valuation<\/strong> of $75 per share, there seems to be significant room for growth from its current level of $51. Our forecast is based on a 19x P\/E multiple for JCI and expected earnings of $4.03 per share for the full fiscal year 2024.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>The company will likely continue to benefit from strong demand trends for its commercial HVAC and fire and safety products. Looking at Q3 2023, <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/JCI\/no-login-required\/P5hLHTlv\/Johnson-Controls-Revenue?fromforbesandarticle=trefis231023\">Johnson Controls\u2019 revenues<\/strong> were up 8% to $7.1 billion, driven by a 10% rise in Building Solutions and a 5% rise in Global Products segment sales. Global Product sales should continue to trend higher, driven by robust demand for fire detection, industrial refrigeration, and commercial HVAC products, a trend seen in the recent past. The company\u2019s adjusted EBIT margins improved by 160 bps to 13.8%, partly due to productivity initiatives. The company expects its margins to expand in the near term. Higher revenues and margin expansion resulted in a 21% bottom line growth to $1.03 per share on an adjusted basis in Q3, compared to the $0.85 figure in the prior-year quarter.<\/p>\n<p>While JCI stock looks like it can see higher levels, it is helpful to see how <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/JCI\/topic\/peer-comparisons\">Johnson Controls\u2019 Peers<\/strong> fare on metrics that matter.
