JCI insider buying and selling over the past year

Over the past year Johnson Controls International plc insiders filed 6 open-market Form 4 trades — 1 purchases worth $1.01M and 5 sales worth $8.74M — which makes them net sellers by $7.73M.

None of the 5 sales were flagged as Rule 10b5-1 plan trades, meaning each one was a discretionary decision at the time of filing.

The average open-market sale price was $118.49; the last close of $145.47 is 22.8% above that level, so sellers left upside on the table. The single largest trade was a sale of 32,031 shares worth $3.63M on 2025-11-21. Since the most recent filing the stock has moved +1.8%, from $142.83. Insiders paid an average of $131.94 per share for their open-market purchases; against the last close of $145.47 that cost basis is sitting on a gain at +10.3%.
