Earnings Summary
Emerson Electric Co. is a global technology and software provider specializing in solutions for diverse industrial and commercial applications, operating across final control, measurement & analytical, and discrete automation segments. The company’s offerings span control valves, instrumentation, automation software, and testing systems, serving a wide array of industries worldwide, and situating it firmly within the specialty industrial machinery sector. In recent quarters, Emerson posted steady growth: Q3 2025 revenue reached $4.86 billion, up from $4.55 billion in Q2 2025, with EPS of $1.62 versus an estimate of $1.62, while Q2 2026 revenue of $4.56 billion slightly missed the $4.59 billion estimate but EPS of $1.54 beat the $1.53 estimate; Q3 2026 revenue of $4.87 billion exceeded the $4.85 billion estimate and EPS of $1.71 surpassed the $1.69 estimate. This pattern of beating EPS estimates in consecutive quarters, coupled with revenue growth that occasionally lags estimates, reflects a consistent earnings strength amid modest revenue volatility. Historically, Emerson has shown a YoY revenue growth trend of roughly 4–5 % per quarter, with EPS consistently outperforming analyst forecasts, indicating robust profitability and efficient cost management. Recent analyst activity includes a Zacks Rank upgrade to #2 (Buy) on October 10 and a JPMorgan price‑target increase to $184 on October 9, both citing optimistic earnings outlooks; the stock’s recent price movements have been mixed, yet analysts project a 13.58 % YoY earnings growth for the upcoming quarter.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into EMR?

RICH

At today's price, Emerson Electric Co. needs to grow free cash flow about 28.4% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 10.42% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at -3.3% a year, so the market is asking for 31.7 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis EMR looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
53%

Emerson Electric Co. is currently running 19.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against EMR's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 31st percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 23.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

EMR is at its running peak. Across 12 full years on file its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -21.8%, with the deepest at -51.1% in 2020 — so highs have historically been given back before they were extended.

Price sits +12.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 84th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year EMR closed higher on 53% of sessions, and it is currently 4 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, EMR finished the month higher 10 of 14 times, with a median return of +2.7% and an average of +2.0%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +3.4% on average, its weakest March at -1.8%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: EMR has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 119 of 3,268 sessions (3.6% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.8% and -10.3%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against EMR's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
