Johnson Controls stock (NYSE: JCI) has fallen 21% in a month, while it’s down 35% YTD. The company recently reported mixed Q2FY22 results, with earnings of $0.63 on a per share and adjusted basis falling in line, but revenue of $6.1 billion fell short of the $6.2 billion consensus estimate. Furthermore, the company’s management cut its full-fiscal 2022 earnings guidance to fall in the range of $2.95 to $3.05, compared to its prior guidance of the $3.22 to $3.32 range. This can be attributed to supply chain disruptions. This did not sit well with the investors, and JCI stock has plunged over 15% over the last five days. A sell-off in broader markets owing to the rising interest rates and high inflation isn’t helping JCI stock, either.

Now that JCI has seen a fall of 21% in a month, will it continue its downward trajectory, or is a rise imminent? Going by historical performance, there is a very high chance of a rise for JCI stock over the next month. Of 18 instances in the last ten years that JCI stock saw a twenty-one-day fall of 21% or more, 15 resulted in JCI stock rising over the subsequent one-month period (twenty-one trading days). This historical pattern reflects 15 out of 18, or about an 83% chance of a rise in JCI stock over the next month. See our analysis of Johnson Controls Stock Chance of Rise for more details.

While JCI stock may see higher levels, the Covid-19 crisis has created many pricing discontinuities, which can offer attractive trading opportunities. For example, you’ll be surprised how counter-intuitive the stock valuation is for Honeywell vs. NiSource.
