Saint Louis, Missouri-based Emerson Electric Co. (EMR) is a global technology and engineering company providing innovative solutions for customers in industrial, commercial, and residential markets. With a market cap of $72.9 billion, Emerson operates through Final Control, Measurement & Analytical, Discrete Automation, Safety & Productivity, Control Systems & Software, and Test & Measurement segments.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks.” EMR fits this bill perfectly. Given the company’s extensive operations and dominance in the industrial sector, its valuation above this mark is unsurprising.
Emerson touched its all-time high of $150.27 on Jul. 29 and is currently trading 11.4% below that peak. Meanwhile, over the past three months, Emerson’s stock prices have soared 9.5%, outpacing the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s ($DOWI) 7.5% gains during the same time frame.
Over the longer term, Emerson’s performance looks even more impressive. EMR stock has gained 7.4% on a YTD basis and surged 32% over the past 52 weeks, outpacing the Dow’s 7.2% uptick in 2025 and 11.3% gains over the past year.
To confirm the uptrend and recent downturn, EMR has traded consistently above its 200-day moving average since early May and dropped below its 50-day moving average in early August.
Emerson Electric’s stock prices dropped 4.7% following the release of its mixed Q3 results on Aug. 6. The drop can primarily be attributed to Emerson’s net sales of $4.6 billion missing the Street’s expectations by 60 bps. However, the sales figure was up almost 4% year-over-year, and the company’s overall performance remained resilient. The quarter was marked with strong profitability and cash flows despite the chaotic macro environment. Emerson’s adjusted EPS increased 6.3% year-over-year to $1.52, surpassing the consensus estimates by 66 bps. Further, the company generated solid free cash flows of $970 million during the quarter.
Meanwhile, Emerson has slightly underperformed its peer, Rockwell Automation, Inc.’s (ROK) 33.2% surge over the past 52 weeks and 19.6% gains in 2025.
Among the 25 analysts covering the EMR stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $150.46 suggests a 13% upside potential from current price levels.
