Analysts’ estimates for Johnson Controls’ second quarter range from 75 cents to 91 cents, for an average of 84 cents, according to Reuters Estimates.
According to the news agency, the company also confirmed its previous full year guidance for sales growth of 8% to 10% above the pro forma 2004 amount of $25.36 billion – full-year operating income from continuing operations is projected to rise 10% to 12% over the prior year’s pro forma of $1.22 billion.
The proforma amounts exclude results from the company’s engine electronics business, which was sold on February 28, and the World Services business, whose sale is expected to be completed later this month, Reuters noted.
