--- title: "Johnson Controls: Competitors" description: "Johnson Controls compared with companies that share its SEC industry classification: revenue, growth and margins from SEC filings, and how peers are chosen." canonical: https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/johnson-controls/competitors/ source: "Swoopr Investment: https://www.getswoopr.com" --- # Johnson Controls: Competitors & Industry Structure ## Direct Answer SEC EDGAR classifies Johnson Controls under SIC code 3585 (Air-Cond & Warm Air Heatg Equip & Comm & Indl Refrig Equip). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 4 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Johnson Controls ranks 1 of 5. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes. ## How Does Johnson Controls Compare With Its Peers? | Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Johnson Controls (JCI)** | $23.6 billion FY2025 | 2.8% | n/a | 13.9% | | [Carrier Global (CARR)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/carrier-global/) | $21.7 billion FY2025 | -3.3% | 10.0% | 6.8% | | [Lennox International (LII)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/lennox-international/) | $5.2 billion FY2025 | -2.7% | 20.0% | 15.5% | | [AAON Inc. (AAON)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/aaon-inc/) | $1.4 billion FY2025 | 20.1% | 10.1% | 7.5% | | [Tecogen Inc. (TGEN)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/tecogen-inc/) | $27 million FY2025 | 19.7% | -30.5% | -30.5% | Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care. ## How Does Johnson Controls Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code? 5 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 3585 (Air-Cond & Warm Air Heatg Equip & Comm & Indl Refrig Equip), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars. | Measure | Johnson Controls | Median of filers | Rank | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Revenue | $23.6 billion | $5.2 billion | 1 of 5 | | Revenue growth | 2.8% | 2.8% | 3 of 5 | | Net margin | 13.9% | 7.5% | 2 of 5 | A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality. ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value Johnson Controls reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000833444-25-000097 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who are Johnson Controls's competitors? Companies sharing Johnson Controls's SEC classification (SIC code 3585 (Air-Cond & Warm Air Heatg Equip & Comm & Indl Refrig Equip)) include Carrier Global (CARR), Lennox International (LII), AAON Inc. (AAON), Tecogen Inc. (TGEN). Its 10-K names the competitors it considers most relevant. ### How does Johnson Controls compare with its peers on margins? A margin comparison needs reported operating income for Johnson Controls and its peers; where either is missing, Swoopr leaves the comparison out. ### How are these peers chosen? By the SEC Standard Industrial Classification code each company files under, within Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight company set, falling back to the two-digit major group when fewer than two companies share the exact code. Classification codes are broad, so read the peer list as a screen, not a verdict. ### How does Johnson Controls rank among all companies in its SEC industry? Among 5 SEC filers under SIC code 3585, Johnson Controls ranks 1 by latest revenue. ## References - [SEC EDGAR: Johnson Controls International plc Form 10-K filed November 14, 2025](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/833444/000083344425000097/jci-20250930.htm) - [SEC EDGAR: Johnson Controls International plc annual and quarterly filings](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=833444&type=10-K) - [SEC: EDGAR application programming interfaces (XBRL frames and submissions data)](https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/edgar-application-programming-interfaces) ## Related Pages - [Johnson Controls company dossier](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/johnson-controls/) - [Johnson Controls financial metrics](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/johnson-controls/metrics/) - [Johnson Controls financial risk indicators](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/johnson-controls/risks/) - [Johnson Controls peer comparison](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/johnson-controls/competitors/) - [Johnson Controls business model and revenue mix](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/johnson-controls/business-model/) - [Fundamental analysis guides](https://www.getswoopr.com/learn/fundamental-analysis/) **[Swoopr Editorial Team](https://www.getswoopr.com/authors/swoopr-editorial-team/)** Swoopr's editorial team produces independent investment education content reviewed for accuracy and clarity.
