Johnson Controls Set to Report Q1 Earnings: What to Expect?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
JCI will report Q1 results on Feb. 4, with revenues seen up 4.3% to $5.7B and adjusted EPS rising 31.3%.
JCI's Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific units are expected to post strong double-digit revenue growth.
Higher SG&A, realignment costs and foreign currency headwinds may pressure JCI's margins.
Johnson Controls International plc (JCI - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter fiscal 2026 (ended December 2025) financial numbers on Feb. 4, before market open.
The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. The average surprise was 5.6%. In the last reported quarter, its earnings of $1.26 per share beat the consensus estimate of $1.20 by 5%.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $5.7 billion, indicating an increase of 4.3% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at 84 cents per share, indicating an increase of 31.3% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Key Factors and Estimates to Note Ahead of JCI’s Earnings Release
The Americas segment is expected to have benefited from heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) platforms in data centers and strength in controls businesses. Our estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $3.73 billion, indicating a 35.9% increase from the year-ago figure.
The Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) segment is expected to have benefited from strength in the service, fire and security, and applied HVAC businesses. Our estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $1.27 billion, indicating a 18.2% increase from the year-ago figure.
Solid momentum in the service business and strength in the products and systems business are expected to have supported the performance of the Asia Pacific segment. We expect revenues from the segment to increase 25.4% year over year to $661 million.
However, the escalating selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses are expected to have weighed on Johnson Controls’ bottom line. High organizational realignment and separation costs are expected to have pushed up the SG&A expenses, which are likely to have impacted its margins in the fiscal first quarter.
JCI has considerable exposure to overseas markets. Given the company’s substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its profitability.

Earnings ESP: JCI has an Earnings ESP of -0.35% as the Most Accurate Estimate is pegged at 83 cents per share, which is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 84 cents. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
