Johnson Controls International plc · 2026-08-08 · Importance 26 · Surprise 24

Johnson Controls’ fiscal third-quarter 2026 performance was reportedly driven by surging demand for data center and thermal-management systems. The company was described as having a record backlog and a growing pipeline for cooling solutions serving high-performance-computing facilities, highlighting strong AI-related cooling demand. Broader HVAC industry performance was also robust in the second quarter, with data center demand and commercial tailwinds supporting high-single-digit to low-double-digit sales growth at Johnson Controls and peers. Commercial HVAC demand remained strong, while residential HVAC demand was weaker and more bifurcated across the industry.
