Johnson Controls posted a strong fiscal second quarter, with adjusted EPS of $1.19 rising 45% year-over-year and exceeding guidance, while organic revenue grew 6% and adjusted EBIT margin expanded 310 basis points to 15.5%. The headline numbers, however, tell only part of the story, the more consequential development this quarter is the sustained acceleration in orders and backlog that is reshaping the company's medium-term earnings trajectory. Orders grew 30% on top of nearly 40% growth last quarter, and backlog reached a record $20 billion, up 26%, providing what management describes as improved visibility into the next 12 months of revenue conversion.
