Emerson Electric tops quarterly estimates on automation demand strength
Industrial automation spending in North America and Asia continues to support Emerson Electric's results in its latest quarter. The company reports stronger-than-expected profit and revenue for the period ended June 30, even as sales in Europe edge lower.
Highlights
- Emerson Electric reports adjusted profit of $1.71 per share for Q3, exceeding analyst expectations of $1.68 per share according to LSEG data.
- Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30 rises 7% year-over-year to $4.87 billion, surpassing the $4.8 billion analyst consensus.
- Despite strong earnings, shares fall about 2.4% after-hours as investors weigh persistent European sales weakness and end-market demand durability concerns.
Quarterly performance driven by software and systems
As reported by Reuters, Emerson Electric says robust demand for automated, software-connected test and measurement systems lifts its third-quarter performance above Wall Street expectations.The St. Louis, Missouri-based company reports adjusted profit of $1.71 per share in the quarter, above the $1.68 per share expected by analysts, according to data compiled by LSEG. Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30 is $4.87 billion, up 7% from a year earlier and above analysts' average estimate of $4.8 billion.
Revenue in the software and systems segment rises 11% during the third quarter, while test and measurement sales jump 23%. The products help clients bring goods to market through functions including data acquisition and control solutions.
Regional pressures and market reaction
Europe remains a weaker area for the company during the quarter, with sales there down 1% from a year ago. Earlier this year, Emerson Electric flags headwinds from flat activity and challenges in the European automotive, packaging and chemical industries.Despite the earnings and revenue beat, the company's shares are down about 2.4% in after-hours trading. The move suggests investors remain focused on regional softness and the durability of demand across industrial end markets.
