- New Study Finds Johnson Controls OpenBlue Smart Building Platform Drives Efficiency and Cost Savings for Customers
Apr 16, 2025
MILWAUKEE, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy, safe and sustainable buildings, today released a new commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting quantifying the Total Economic Impact™ and benefits of its OpenBlue platform. In the study, Forrester found that a model organization representing a composite of interviewed customers from multiple industries deploying OpenBlue, including FM:Systems solutions, could achieve up to a 155% return on investment (ROI) over three years.Johnson Controls today released a new commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting quantifying the Total Economic Impact™ and benefits of its OpenBlue platform.
OpenBlue is an award-winning, AI-optimized smart building ecosystem of connected solutions and services. OpenBlue allows customers to unlock the performance of their buildings and workplaces with near real-time data visibility. Leveraging enhanced AI, OpenBlue provides tailored energy-saving recommendations based on usage and weather data, helping customers reduce operating costs and move toward more autonomous buildings. OpenBlue is now integrated with FM:Systems solutions, expanding real time data visibility, creating high-performance workplaces and bringing additional clarity and vision to strategic real estate decisions.
Other key findings for the composite organization include:
Up to 10% energy savings: Enhancing overall efficiency. Up to 67% reduction in chiller maintenance: saving nearly $1.5 million over three years. 7% rental premiums: Resulting in three-year present value of $3.2 million. 8-month payback period: Based on the total costs and net benefits.
"We believe the findings speak for themselves: Our OpenBlue and FM:Systems solutions not only lower operating costs, but also optimize energy use – a win, win. By enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, we're helping our customers achieve their sustainability goals and also improve their bottom line," said Vijay Sankaran, Chief Digital and Information Officer at Johnson Controls. "As global companies face pressure to save time and money, our capabilities stand out in delivering both environmental and financial returns."
According to a customer interviewed for this study, "OpenBlue has saved us up to 10% on our energy costs. We did some other work to reduce these costs but, as an example, OpenBlue showed us out-of-hours lighting was costing $17,000 per floor of our buildings. Without that insight, we wouldn't have been able to take action to reduce those expenses and that energy waste."
Another customer interviewed stated, "Not only is Johnson Controls supplying the critical, backbone items of facilities management, like chillers, fire, security, and automation, but by adding a management layer on top of these, they have provided consistency and solid support."

In November 2024, Johnson Controls significantly expanded its AI capabilities in its OpenBlue Enterprise Manager suite of digital solutions, part of the OpenBlue digital ecosystem. The updates included OpenBlue's first customer-facing generative AI application, more autonomous building controls, and a significantly improved user experience, paving the way for additional AI enhancements this year.
The expanded features in OpenBlue provide clearer insights and better performance, including:
Integrated generative AI tools that proactively recommend impactful energy savings projects.

For the purposes of this study, Forrester aggregated the interviewees' experiences and combined the results into a single composite organization that is a real estate investment and development organization with 1,800 total employees and 50 million square feet of assets under management. From the information provided in the interviews, Forrester constructed a Total Economic Impact™ framework for those organizations considering an investment in OpenBlue and FM:Systems solutions.

- Elliott Builds Over $1.5 Billion Stake in HP Enterprise
Apr 15, 2025
(Bloomberg) -- Elliott Investment Management has built a large position worth more than $1.5 billion in Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., according to people familiar with the matter.
Most Read from Bloomberg

Elliott plans to engage with the software and networking company to help it boost value, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the details aren’t public. The investment makes Elliott one of the company’s top five shareholders, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Elliott’s exact intentions at HPE couldn’t be immediately learned.
Shares in HPE jumped as much as 8.8% on Tuesday morning trading after the Bloomberg News report. The stock is still down about 29% this year, giving the company a market value of roughly $20 billion.
Elliott’s move is one of the first major activist campaigns unveiled after the market turmoil related to the President Donald Trump’s tariff plans.
Representatives for Elliott and HPE declined to comment.
While artificial intelligence has fueled heavy demand for hardware such as servers and networking, HPE hasn’t been able to seize on the moment as much as its peers including Dell Technologies Inc.
In March, HPE said its profit this year would be sharply lower than analyst forecasts as it grapples with tariffs, weak margins on server sales and execution issues. It also said it would eliminate about 3,000 jobs. Woo Jin Ho, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said at the time that the company’s actions suggested “meaningful inefficiencies.” Deutsche Bank AG analyst described the firm’s first-quarter results as “disappointing.”
HPE could navigate the burden of tariffs since it’s one of the server and storage companies that adhere to the US-Mexico-Canada agreement that replaced NAFTA, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
Track Record
Elliott has a successful track record in the technology space, having pushed for changes at Salesforce Inc., SAP SE and Citrix Systems Inc. among others. It took Citrix private in a $13 billion deal with Vista Equity Partners in 2022. Salesforce implemented growth plans to avoid a proxy fight, while SAP replaced its chief executive officer within six months of Elliott’s position becoming public.
Elliott was also a longtime investor in Dell, one of HPE’s major competitors. Dell’s shares have jumped almost 300% since its return to public trading in 2018, outperforming HPE all along.
Story Continues
The activist’s move comes as data center giants such as Microsoft Corp. have pulled back on projects around the world, while Chinese rival Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. warned of a potential bubble forming in AI data center construction.
HPE, which split from printer and PC-maker HP Inc. in 2015, has been run by Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri for the past seven years. Top managers at Crown Castle Inc. and Johnson Controls International Plc lost their jobs after fights with the hedge fund.
HPE has been a serial dealmaker. Its predecessor company bought Aruba Networks in 2015 for about $3 billion. HPE itself acquired Nimble Storage in 2017 and supercomputer company Cray Inc. in 2019.
But its largest deal to date is the pending $14 billion takeover of Juniper Networks Inc., a company that Elliott had agitated at more than a decade ago. The acquisition, announced in early 2024, has been in limbo after the US Justice Department sued to block it over antitrust concerns. A trial date for the antitrust lawsuit has been set for July.

- Johnson Controls International (NYSE:JCI) Integrates Workplace Solutions Amid 5% Price Dip
Apr 1, 2025
Johnson Controls International saw its stock price advance by 1.49% over the last quarter, potentially fueled by its significant integration announcement with FM:Systems. The linkage of FM:Systems' FMS:Workplace with the Metasys building automation system was among the key developments, promoting efficiency in response times for equipment maintenance. This integration was accompanied by financial activities, including a dividend declaration and a robust Q1 2025 earnings report highlighting revenue growth. Meanwhile, broader market sentiment was mixed, with apprehensive trading ahead of potential new tariffs contributing to volatility, although investors weathered uncertainties with some resilience.
Every company has risks, and we've spotted 4 risks for Johnson Controls International you should know about.NYSE:JCI Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Apr 2025
Find companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value.
Johnson Controls International has experienced significant total returns of 226.75% over the past five years, highlighting strong shareholder value creation. This period includes a series of substantial developments that appear to have bolstered its performance. The appointment of new CEO Joakim Weidemanis, aiming to leverage technology for efficiency, signals potential strategic growth and enhanced operational effectiveness. Another factor is the integration of AI capabilities into its OpenBlue Enterprise Manager suite in November 2024, enhancing building operations and energy efficiency, which could have supported revenue and margin improvements.
Further, the buyback activities completed by the company, accounting for 49.86% of the total buyback program, potentially contributed to shareholder returns by reducing the number of shares outstanding. In addition, the establishment of a Global Data Center Solutions organization in June 2024 reflects an expansion in a high-demand sector. Over the last year, Johnson Controls has surpassed the broader U.S. Building industry return of 3.2%, which might suggest organizational resilience and strategic success in its sector endeavors.

- Here's What We Like About Johnson Controls International's (NYSE:JCI) Upcoming Dividend
Mar 20, 2025
Readers hoping to buy Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE:JCI) for its dividend will need to make their move shortly, as the stock is about to trade ex-dividend. The ex-dividend date is one business day before a company's record date, which is the date on which the company determines which shareholders are entitled to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is important because any transaction on a stock needs to have been settled before the record date in order to be eligible for a dividend. Meaning, you will need to purchase Johnson Controls International's shares before the 24th of March to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 17th of April.
The company's upcoming dividend is US$0.37 a share, following on from the last 12 months, when the company distributed a total of US$1.48 per share to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Johnson Controls International has a trailing yield of 1.8% on the current stock price of US$82.89. If you buy this business for its dividend, you should have an idea of whether Johnson Controls International's dividend is reliable and sustainable. As a result, readers should always check whether Johnson Controls International has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.
View our latest analysis for Johnson Controls International
Dividends are usually paid out of company profits, so if a company pays out more than it earned then its dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut. Johnson Controls International paid out more than half (69%) of its earnings last year, which is a regular payout ratio for most companies. Yet cash flow is typically more important than profit for assessing dividend sustainability, so we should always check if the company generated enough cash to afford its dividend. Fortunately, it paid out only 48% of its free cash flow in the past year.
It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously.
Click here to see the company's payout ratio, plus analyst estimates of its future dividends.NYSE:JCI Historic Dividend March 20th 2025
Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
Businesses with strong growth prospects usually make the best dividend payers, because it's easier to grow dividends when earnings per share are improving. If business enters a downturn and the dividend is cut, the company could see its value fall precipitously. For this reason, we're glad to see Johnson Controls International's earnings per share have risen 11% per annum over the last five years. Johnson Controls International has an average payout ratio which suggests a balance between growing earnings and rewarding shareholders. This is a reasonable combination that could hint at some further dividend increases in the future.
Story Continues
Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. In the past 10 years, Johnson Controls International has increased its dividend at approximately 5.3% a year on average. It's good to see both earnings and the dividend have improved - although the former has been rising much quicker than the latter, possibly due to the company reinvesting more of its profits in growth.
Final Takeaway
Has Johnson Controls International got what it takes to maintain its dividend payments? We like Johnson Controls International's growing earnings per share and the fact that - while its payout ratio is around average - it paid out a lower percentage of its cash flow. Johnson Controls International looks solid on this analysis overall, and we'd definitely consider investigating it more closely.
In light of that, while Johnson Controls International has an appealing dividend, it's worth knowing the risks involved with this stock. For example - Johnson Controls International has 4 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
If you're in the market for strong dividend payers, we recommend checking our selection of top dividend stocks.

- Johnson Controls International (NYSE:JCI) Has Affirmed Its Dividend Of $0.37
Mar 17, 2025
Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE:JCI) will pay a dividend of $0.37 on the 17th of April. This makes the dividend yield 1.9%, which will augment investor returns quite nicely.
Check out our latest analysis for Johnson Controls International
Johnson Controls International's Payment Could Potentially Have Solid Earnings Coverage
A big dividend yield for a few years doesn't mean much if it can't be sustained. Based on the last payment, Johnson Controls International was quite comfortably earning enough to cover the dividend. This indicates that quite a large proportion of earnings is being invested back into the business.
Over the next year, EPS is forecast to expand by 139.0%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 30%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.NYSE:JCI Historic Dividend March 17th 2025
Dividend Volatility
Although the company has a long dividend history, it has been cut at least once in the last 10 years. The annual payment during the last 10 years was $0.88 in 2015, and the most recent fiscal year payment was $1.48. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 5.3% per annum over that time. We have seen cuts in the past, so while the growth looks promising we would be a little bit cautious about its track record.
We Could See Johnson Controls International's Dividend Growing
Growing earnings per share could be a mitigating factor when considering the past fluctuations in the dividend. Johnson Controls International has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 9.4% per annum. Earnings are on the uptrend, and it is only paying a small portion of those earnings to shareholders.
We Really Like Johnson Controls International's Dividend
In summary, it is good to see that the dividend is staying consistent, and we don't think there is any reason to suspect this might change over the medium term. Earnings are easily covering distributions, and the company is generating plenty of cash. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.
Companies possessing a stable dividend policy will likely enjoy greater investor interest than those suffering from a more inconsistent approach. Still, investors need to consider a host of other factors, apart from dividend payments, when analysing a company. For example, we've picked out 4 warning signs for Johnson Controls International that investors should know about before committing capital to this stock. If you are a dividend investor, you might also want to look at our curated list of high yield dividend stocks.

- Johnson Controls International (NYSE:JCI) Declares US$0.37 Quarterly Dividend for April 2025
Mar 12, 2025
Johnson Controls International recently affirmed its commitment to shareholder returns by approving a quarterly dividend of $0.37 per share. Despite this stable dividend announcement, the company's stock price fell by 4.83% over the past week. This decline contrasts with broader market trends that saw a more modest decline of 3.7%, despite encouraging economic data such as the Consumer Price Index report. While tech stocks rebounded amid hopes of future Federal Reserve rate cuts, JCI's performance diverged from these broader sector gains. The dividend affirmation suggests a robust financial standing, but recent market volatility, driven by economic uncertainty and broader declines in the industrial sector, might overshadow such positive signals. Nonetheless, Johnson Controls continues to emphasize its commitment to returning value to shareholders through consistent dividend payouts, which can be a significant consideration for investors during periods of market instability.

Over the past five years, Johnson Controls International's total shareholder returns reached an impressive 190.18%. This period witnessed significant earnings growth at an annual rate of 9.6%, while recent earnings for Q3 2023 showed substantial improvements with net income climbing to US$1.05 billion from US$379 million the previous year. The company's robust earnings announcements may have positively influenced its longer-term share performance. Additionally, Johnson Controls completed a massive buyback program in February 2025, repurchasing 388.1 million shares for essentially US$17.52 billion, highlighting shareholder value emphasis.
In the last year, JCI outperformed both the US market and the building industry by achieving returns above their respective benchmarks, adding further context to its five-year performance. Despite the company's strong historical returns, challenges such as higher price-to-earnings ratios compared to industry averages and a decline in net profit margin from 8.3% to 6.2% were noted. Recent executive changes, like Joakim Weidemanis' appointment as CEO, also mark strategic shifts potentially impacting future performance.

- Possible Bearish Signals With Johnson Controls International Insiders Disposing Stock
Mar 3, 2025
In the last year, many Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE:JCI) insiders sold a substantial stake in the company which may have sparked shareholders' attention. Knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more helpful when evaluating insider transactions, as insider selling can have various explanations. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
