Emerson Electric
Emerson is a global automation company. Its Intelligent Devices group (valves, measurement, discrete automation, safety) and its Software and Control group (control systems and software, including AspenTech, plus test and measurement from National Instruments) serve process, hybrid and discrete industries. Over the past few years it transformed its portfolio: it sold a majority of Climate Technologies (Copeland) in 2023, bought National Instruments for $8.2 billion in October 2023, and took full ownership of AspenTech for about $7.2 billion in March 2025. Fiscal 2025 (ended September) revenue was $18.0 billion and net income $2.3 billion. In Q3 fiscal 2026 sales rose 7% and Emerson raised its full-year outlook. In October 2026 it switched to mark-to-market pension accounting, which recasts prior results.

At a glanceFrom SEC data
Eight headline measures, each placed among the companies covered on this site.
- Revenue growthCAGRSmooths out year-to-year swings into "grew X% a year on average." Makes growth pace comparable across companies of very different sizes.
- 8.6%
- Operating marginOperating marginHow many cents of operating profit are left per dollar of revenue. Reflects pricing power and cost structure.
- —
- ROIC minus WACCROIC − WACC spreadThe difference between ROIC and WACC. Consistently positive implies value creation; consistently negative implies value destruction.
- —
- Net debt ÷ EBITDAEBITDAOperating income with D&A added back. A rough proxy for cash-generating power that’s less distorted by capital intensity, depreciation method, or financing/tax differences than net income.
- —
- Cash conversionOperating CF ÷ net income (cash conversion)How much of reported profit shows up as actual cash. 1x or higher means profit is backed by cash.
- 1.35x
- Dividend raisesDividend per shareTotal annual dividend paid per share (sum of all declared payments for the year).
- 4 of 5
- P/E todayP/EShare price ÷ EPS — how many years of current earnings the stock price represents. This site uses the period-end figure as reported in the filing.
- 36.5x
- Betaβ (beta)How much a stock moves, on average, for a 1% move in the overall market. Above 1 means more volatile than the market, which raises the return shareholders require. This site computes it from about 2.5 years (roughly 130 weeks) of weekly returns, built from Yahoo Finance daily prices, regressed against an S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as the market proxy, then applies the well-known long-run mean-reversion adjustment (0.67 × β + 0.33) as the WACC default.

Each marker shows where this company sits among the non-financial companies covered on this site, not all listed companies (left = lowest, right = highest). A high position is not automatically good — for net debt ÷ EBITDA, higher means more debt. Details and formulas are in the sections below and in How to read this.

- EV/EBITDAEV/EBITDAEnterprise value (≈ market cap + interest-bearing debt − cash) as a multiple of EBITDA — roughly, "how many years of EBITDA to buy the whole company." Lower is generally viewed as cheaper, and it’s more comparable than P/E across companies with different debt loads or depreciation policies. This site excludes noncontrolling interests from the EV calculation. today

- FCF yieldFree cash flow (FCF)Operating CF minus capital expenditures — cash generated by the business after funding its own investment, available for dividends, buybacks, acquisitions, or debt paydown. Acquisitions and securities purchases (also in investing CF) are not subtracted, so FCF can be positive in a year when total investing CF exceeds operating CF. today

Revenue grew +8.6% a year over 4 years (strong growth)
From $12.93B in FY2021 to $18.02B in FY2025. The annualized rate (CAGR) makes it possible to compare growth pace across companies of different sizes.
- ―
Equity ratio is 48.3% (a middling level)
The share of total assets funded by equity rather than debt. 50%+ is often read as low bankruptcy risk, though the right level varies by industry (real estate and leasing run lower, for instance).
- ▲
Free cash flow was positive in 5 of 5 years
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures: the cash left over after funding the business’s own investment, available for dividends, buybacks, acquisitions, or debt paydown. A negative year can mean heavy investment, or weak core earnings — worth distinguishing.
- ▲
ROE averaged 32.5% over 5 years (latest: 10.9%)
How much profit was generated on shareholders’ equity. Roughly 10%+ is often cited as solid for a U.S. company, though this varies a lot by industry and capital intensity.

Data left out of this analysis
- FY2020: Later 10-Ks restated revenue for the Climate Technologies (Copeland) divestiture back to FY2021 only, so FY2020 is not comparable.

Is ROIC above WACC?From SEC data
ROIC (the return on money invested in the business) above WACC (the cost of raising that money) means the company is creating value. WACC is an estimate, so its assumptions can be adjusted below.
Not enough data (operating income, equity, etc.) to compute ROIC/WACC.
16
What the price implies (DCF)From SEC data
A company's value can be written as its free cash flow divided by (cost of capital − perpetual growth). Working that backwards from the market's valuation shows how much growth the share price assumed — compared here with the company's actual past growth.
Growth the price implies (price on 2026-11-04)
7.6%
Perpetual FCF growth: g = r − FCF ÷ EV = 10.2% − 2.5%
Past FCF growth (FY2021–FY2025)
-4.2%
Compound annual rate, 4 years
Past revenue growth (FY2021–FY2025)
+8.6%
Compound annual rate, 4 years
Inputs (FY2025): free cash flow $2.67B (operating CF − capex); enterprise value $105.57B = market cap $94B (latest close, 2026-11-04) + debt $13.12B − cash and short-term investments $1.54B; r = WACC of 10.2% using this page’s default assumptions (β 1.23, risk-free 5.0%, market premium 5.5%).
Three WACC scenarios
The same calculation under cautious, base and optimistic cost-of-capital assumptions (risk-free rate fixed at the 10-year Treasury yield). Pick one to load it into the sliders below.
Try your own assumptions
V = FCF ÷ (r − g). It starts at the implied growth rate, where the theoretical value equals today’s enterprise value.
Theoretical enterprise value
$102.58B
FCF $2.67B ÷ (10.2% − 7.6%)
Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value
0.97x
Below 1x: these assumptions value the business below the market did
How sensitive the answer is
Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value for each combination of r and g.
| g \ r | 8.2% | 9.2% | 10.2% | 11.2% | 12.2% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0% | 0.31x | 0.27x | 0.25x | 0.23x | 0.21x |
| 2% | 0.41x | 0.35x | 0.31x | 0.27x | 0.25x |
| 4% | 0.60x | 0.49x | 0.41x | 0.35x | 0.31x |
| 6% | 1.15x | 0.79x | 0.60x | 0.49x | 0.41x |
| 8% | 12.63x | 2.11x | 1.15x | 0.79x | 0.60x |
A simplified model for seeing what the market price assumes, not a forecast or a target price. It treats free cash flow as growing at one constant rate forever; the result swings widely with small changes in r and g, and is undefined when g reaches r. Free cash flow here is operating cash flow minus capex, which is after interest — a full DCF of enterprise value would use cash flow before interest. Market cap uses the latest close (2026-11-04) × shares at fiscal year-end; free cash flow and WACC inputs are from the latest fiscal year.

Earnings qualityFrom SEC dataShow
The same reported profit can mean different things depending on whether it's backed by cash, driven by the core business, or the result of a one-off item. Four checks below.
- ✓
Operating CF ÷ net income: averages 1.11x
Profit is backed by cash coming in.
- ✓
Accrual ratio (latest): -1.9%
A small share of profit rests on accounting estimates.
- ✓
Days sales outstanding: 84 → 61 days
No major slowdown in collecting on sales.

Who holds the sharesFrom SEC dataShow
How much of the stock large institutional investors report owning on SEC Form 13F, how much the directors and executive officers hold (and how much of the vote they control), and roughly how much is left for individual investors. Shown next to beta so the holder mix can be read alongside how much the stock swings.
Institutions, insiders and everyone else, 13F holdings as of 2026-06-30
“Everyone else” is what remains after shares reported on Form 13F and shares held by directors and executive officers: mostly individual investors, plus non-insider families or foundations and smaller or foreign institutions. The figures have different dates and 13F reports count some shares twice — read it as an approximate split.

Strengths & weaknessesSite analysis
Strengths
1. Automation focus
After its portfolio changes, Emerson describes itself as a global automation leader.
Evidence: Form 10-K (FY2025)
2. Margin improvement
Software and Control segment margin rose from 5.2% to 14.5% in fiscal 2025.
Evidence: Form 10-K (FY2025)
3. Cash returns
The fiscal 2026 outlook assumes about $1B of buybacks and about $1.2B of dividends.
Evidence: Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings release
Weaknesses
1. Test & Measurement losses
Segment earnings were −$68M in fiscal 2025, after heavy intangible amortization from the NI deal.
Evidence: Form 10-K (FY2025)
2. Higher debt
Interest-bearing debt rose to $13.1B in fiscal 2025, after the AspenTech buyout.
Evidence: SEC EDGAR XBRL

2. Shift to software
Software and Control is 32% of sales.
- What has to hold
- Software margins keep rising.
- The other side
- P/E of about 32 in fiscal 2025.
Evidence: Form 10-K (FY2025)
Fiscal year ends September 30. FY2020 is excluded because later 10-Ks restated revenue for the Climate Technologies (Copeland) divestiture but never restated FY2020. FY2023 net income includes the Copeland sale gain. Interest is shown net of interest income, as Emerson reports it.

We May Use Artificial Intelligence in Our Businesses and in Our Products and Services, and Challenges With Managing its Use Could Result in Reputational Harm, Competitive Harm, and Legal Liability, and Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations
Our businesses increasingly rely on artificial intelligence solutions to optimize our operations, improve customer experiences, and enhance our products and services. Read more
While the use of artificial intelligence presents significant
opportunities, it also introduces a range of risks that could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our artificial intelligence efforts subject us to risks related to accuracy, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, data privacy, and cybersecurity, among others, and if our use of artificial intelligence becomes controversial, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. Additionally, our competitors or other third parties may incorporate artificial intelligence into their products, services or operations more quickly or successfully than us, or develop superior products and services with the aid of artificial intelligence, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations. Finally, the regulatory landscape surrounding artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and the use of artificial intelligence may be subject to new legal or regulatory requirements, the impact of which may…

have created a dynamic environment that may have a material adverse impact on our business. While we have deployed strategies to mitigate the impact of these dynamic trade policies, there is no assurance that we will be able to mitigate the full impact of all such tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or other trade policies that have or may develop in this rapidly changing environment. Increasing trade tensions and changes in trade policies have the potential to adversely impact our costs, the demand for our products, our supply chain and the global economy, which may have an adverse impact on our business, including operating and financial results and conditions.
