What is the strategic rationale behind selling the residential and light commercial HVAC business?
While the 8-K does not explicitly state the rationale, this divestiture likely indicates a strategic decision by JCI to focus its resources and efforts on its core building solutions segments, potentially divesting non-core or lower-growth assets.
