Needham & Company reiterates a 'Strong Buy' on Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) price target of $45.00.

Needham analyst says, "The shutdown of a Johnson Controls battery production plant in Shanghai over lead pollution concerns is surprising, in our view. The plant in question was named a "national model enterprise for occupational health and safety" in 2006, and has lead emissions at about 1/7th the Chinese national standard. In addition, lead discharge through waste water treatment facility average is about 1/10th of Chinese national standard. We expect a favorable resolution to this matter given the company’s solid production track record."
