Johnson Controls International plc

The full register, from 13F filings

The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 1,535 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.

Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.

What a reader needs to know to read these numbers

• Johnson Controls International plc is an Irish-domiciled public limited company; its listed instrument is ordinary shares, $0.01 par value (10-Q cover page: 'Ordinary Shares, $0.01 par value per share'), not common stock. CUSIP G51502105 carries a G-prefix reflecting the Irish domicile, consistent with the other Irish-domiciled HVAC plc in this project (Trane Technologies, CUSIP G8994E103).
• Fiscal year end is 30 September. The FY2025 10-K (filed 14 Nov 2025) covers the year ended 30 September 2025. The most recent 10-Q (filed 29 Jul 2026) covers the quarter ended 30 June 2026, and its cover page is the source for shares outstanding.
• Holdings: none reported. The FY2025 10-K and the Q3 FY2026 10-Q were both searched for 'equity method', 'nonconsolidated', 'unconsolidated', 'joint venture', 'partially-owned affiliates', 'Johnson Controls-Hitachi', 'Hitachi', 'equity income', 'investment in' and 'noncontrolling'. Johnson Controls' one large, named joint venture was Johnson Controls-Hitachi Air Conditioning Holding (UK) Ltd. (60% JCI-owned, 40% Hitachi Global Life Solutions, Inc.-owned), part of the global Residential and Light Commercial (R&LC) HVAC business. Because JCI owned 60% it was a CONSOLIDATED controlled subsidiary, not an equity-method investee, so it would have been excluded from holdings even while owned per the brief's control rule. In July 2025 (within FY2025) Johnson Controls sold the entire R&LC HVAC business, including its full interest in the Hitachi joint venture, to Robert Bosch GmbH for approximately $5.6 billion net cash proceeds; the business was classified as discontinued operations. JCI therefore retains NO equity interest, consolidated or otherwise, in the former Hitachi JV as of this filing date. The only balance-sheet 'Investments in partially-owned affiliates' figure found ($949 million) appears solely inside the FY2025 10-K's held-for-sale disposal-group breakdown for the R&LC business being divested, i.e. it belonged to the JV being sold, not a continuing position, so it is historical and not used to size any current holding. Continuing-operations equity income was immaterial and not tied to any individually named investee: $6 million for FY2025 and $3 million for the nine months ended 30 June 2026 across all segments combined. No other equity-method joint venture or partially-owned affiliate is named by name in either filing.
• Register reconciliation: the 2026 proxy statement (Record Date 5 Jan 2026, ownership table dated 7 Jan 2026) discloses three >5% holders sourced from a Notification of Interest under Irish law dated 25 April 2025 (not an SEC Schedule 13G): The Vanguard Group, Inc. 69,026,715 shares (11.2%), Dodge & Cox 60,998,266 shares (10.0%), BlackRock, Inc. 43,759,309 shares (7.1%). These are more than a year stale relative to the Q2 2026 13F data used in the register below, which shows Vanguard lower (60,128,497) and Dodge & Cox lower (55,776,006) but BlackRock HIGHER (54,406,108 vs the proxy's 43,759,309), consistent with position changes between April 2025 and 30 June 2026 rather than a data error. EDGAR shows no Schedule 13D or 13G/A filed against CIK 0000833444 since 13 Nov 2024 (a 13G/A, holder not individually re-verified here since it predates the 13F data used and would be superseded by it).
• Dodge & Cox (CIK 0000200217) was added to the register despite not appearing on the initially supplied verified-manager CIK list, because the project's own Q1 2026 13F register snapshot (data/registers/JCI.json) already showed it as the second-largest holder (57,506,214 shares) and the 2026 proxy confirms it as a >5% owner; omitting it would have materially misstated the top of the register.
• The Vanguard rule: Vanguard Group Inc (CIK 0000102909) filed Form 13F-NT (notice, no holdings) for Q2 2026, confirmed via its own EDGAR submissions feed. Its position is reported entirely by two successor entities, Vanguard Capital Management LLC and Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC, which are summed into the single Vanguard row above. This is the successor case (rule 7), not the ordinary case where a parent Vanguard 13F-HR itself carries the position.
• Capital Group check: Johnson Controls' three Capital Group 13F filers were checked individually and NOT summed as one family, because they do not all hold the stock. Capital Research Global Investors (CIK 0001422848) and Capital International Investors (CIK 0001562230) hold ONLY Johnson & Johnson (CUSIP 478160104) in their Q2 2026 13F-HRs, no Johnson Controls position (CUSIP G51502105) at all. Capital World Investors (CIK 0001422849) is the sole Capital Group entity holding Johnson Controls: 3,053,682 shares, $446,173,477, as of 30 June 2026. This is below the top-12 cut-off used for the register (ranked 13th by shares) so it is recorded here rather than as its own register row; see the project's caution that a prior file wrongly summed by checking only one Capital entity, missing the one that actually holds the position.
• Other Q2 2026 13F-HR positions checked but ranked below the top 12 and excluded from the register: JPMorgan Chase & Co. 3,692,473 shares, $518,681,737 (CUSIP G51502105 COMMON only; two option-class CUSIPs G51502905 and G51502955 excluded as derivatives per the tool's own exclusion rule); Capital World Investors (Capital Group) 3,053,682 shares, $446,173,477 (see above); T. Rowe Price 2,218,717 shares; Wells Fargo & Company 1,818,795 shares, $265,744,232 (two option-class lines totalling $10.96m notional excluded as derivatives); Schwab Investment Management: no Johnson Controls position found under 'JOHNSON CONTROLS' or 'JOHNSON' fragments in its Q2 2026 13F-HR filed 14 Aug 2026 (CIK 0000884546, accession 0001752724-26-000057), so not included. MFS (CIK 0000912938) also holds no Johnson Controls position; its only 'JOHNSON' match is Johnson & Johnson.
• Thousands trap: T. Rowe Price's Q2 2026 13F-HR reports its Johnson Controls value column in whole dollars divided by 1,000 (its own info table shows $324,178 against 2,218,717 shares, an implied $0.146/share, versus the roughly $146/share cluster every other filer in this file implies). Rescaled by x1000, T. Rowe Price's true value is approximately $324,178,000, implied price $146.13, consistent with the cluster. This is the same T. Rowe Price thousands-convention bug flagged as recurring in the project brief; T. Rowe Price is not included in the register (ranked below the top 12) but the rescaled figure is recorded here so it is not mistaken for a $0.15 stock.
• Implied price per share (value_usd / shares) across the twelve register rows plus the excluded positions above clusters tightly between $146.11 and $146.51, except JPMorgan at $140.47 (about 4% below the cluster, not the 1,000x thousands pattern; left as reported without adjustment) and the T. Rowe Price line corrected above.
• Self-gate: summing the twelve non-aggregate, non-insider register rows (Vanguard, Dodge & Cox, BlackRock, State Street, Bank of America, Geode, Morgan Stanley, Franklin, Norges Bank, Wellington, Northern Trust, FMR/Fidelity) gives 279,769,783 shares against 605,741,470 shares outstanding, or 46.19%. This is slightly above the 25-45% expected band but within the 15-55% band that would flag an error; it is driven by Dodge & Cox's unusually large ~9.2% active stake alongside two ~9-10% index/Vanguard positions, not by mixed instruments, mixed bases, or a double-counted holder (each CUSIP total above excludes the derivative option lines separately reported by JPMorgan and Wells Fargo). 12 rows, 279,769,783 shares, 46.19% of shares outstanding.
