About Johnson Controls
Johnson Controls (JCI) is a public Industrial company, incorporated in Ireland and headquartered in Cork, Ireland.
Last close: $149.68 per share (as of 2026-08-18).
Equity grants at Johnson Controls typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).
The company began in 1885 when Warren Johnson commercialized the electric room thermostat, and it now sells building controls, fire and security systems, and HVAC equipment for commercial properties. Service contracts on installed building systems generate recurring revenue that outlasts the original equipment sale by years. Energy-efficiency retrofits are sold on payback periods rather than on capital budgets. The company is incorporated in Ireland following an earlier merger with Tyco. Headquarters are in Cork.

A protective put caps your downside on the JCI position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current JCI option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share JCI position at $149.68 is worth $748,400. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $14,968 to $29,936) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off JCI's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

Johnson Controls equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge JCI stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and JCI's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current JCI option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Johnson Controls grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Johnson Controls typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
