New York, Jan 6, 2026, 15:15 EST — Regular session Johnson Controls International (JCI) fell 5.5% to $114.79 in afternoon trading on Tuesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the chipmaker’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform could sharply reduce cooling needs in data centers and that “no water chillers are necessary for data centres.” The stock has traded between $108.41 and $120.39, and other heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) names also weakened.
