Barclays raised the firm’s price target on Johnson Controls (JCI) to $100 from $90 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm sees high investor expectations for the multi-industry sector heading into the Q2 reports.

However, Barclays sees a neutral risk/reward for stocks in the group despite positive estimate revisions given the recent sector rally.
