Deutsche Bank downgrades Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) from Buy to Hold. Price target $23.
Deutsche analyst says, "Shares have risen 161% since our upgrade on March 12th, compared to 23% for the S&P500. Our upgrade was based on our belief in JCI's ability to mitigate downside in its Auto segment, and our belief that JCI's Power Solutions & Building Efficiency businesses were less cyclical than implied by JCI's valuation. While we continue to believe that JCI will restructure its Auto segment to profitability by year-end, and navigate a temporary slowdown in its B.E. segment in 2010, we believe valuation reflects the current outlook...We believe that JCI's Building Efficiency segment results could weaken short-term, as the education, health and gov't sectors could lag a recovery in the overall construction market. Longer-term, JCI remains bullish on opportunities for the Building Efficiency business from the Federal Stimulus package, which included $12bn of revenue opportunities for products and services such as those offered by JCI."
