FCF Yield

The current Free Cash Flow (FCF) Yield of 1.1% means that for every $100 invested in JCI’s stock, the company generated $1.10 in free cash flow over the past year—a measure of how much cash the business produces after expenses relative to its share price.

Among its sector peers, this yield sits well below the sector median of 4.4%, placing JCI in the 14th percentile—meaning 86% of peers offer a higher yield. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter decline of -15.4% (from 1.3% to 1.1%) shows a clear recent deterioration. Combining a low FCF Yield with a downward trend signals that the stock offers relatively weak cash return versus peers and that this weakness is worsening, pointing to greater investment risk or limited near-term upside. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, as a 1.1% yield at the 14th percentile and a falling trend suggests the stock is less attractive than a neutral rating would imply.
