With roots tracing back to the early 1900s, Rockwell Automation is the successor to Rockwell International, which spun off its avionics segment in 2001. It is a pure-play industrial automation company that operates through three segments. Its largest segment by revenue, intelligent devices, sells factory floor-level devices such as motors, drives, sensors, relays, and actuators.

<h3>Rockwell Automation: A Financial Overview</h3>
Market Capitalization: Boasting an elevated market capitalization, the company surpasses industry averages. This signals substantial size and strong market recognition.
Decline in Revenue: Over the 3 months period, Rockwell Automation faced challenges, resulting in a decline of approximately -20.58% in revenue growth as of 30 September, 2024. This signifies a reduction in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the revenue growth lags behind its industry peers. The company achieved a growth rate lower than the average among peers in Industrials sector.
Net Margin: Rockwell Automation's net margin surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 11.69% net margin, the company effectively manages costs and achieves strong profitability.
Return on Equity (ROE): Rockwell Automation's ROE excels beyond industry benchmarks, reaching 6.98%. This signifies robust financial management and efficient use of shareholder equity capital.

Debt Management: Rockwell Automation's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 1.17. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>Analyst Ratings: What Are They?</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

Deep Dive Into Rockwell Automation Stock: Analyst Perspectives (12 Ratings)

In the current market session, Rockwell Automation Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) price is at $280.32, after a 1.21% increase. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 4.34%, and in the past year, by 8.31%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736963118_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Rockwell Automation P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Rockwell Automation has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 59.71 of the Electrical Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736963118_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Meta Platforms, Zoom Communications, Rockwell Automation, SPDR Select Sector Fund - Utilities

U.S. competitiveness takes center stage in 2025 with four key investment themes—energy independence, defense innovation, infrastructure, and automation—poised to bolster portfolio growth. Global X's 2025 Investment Outlook, led by Scott Helfstein, highlights these transformative trends as critical drivers of resilience <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/us-economy">in the coming year.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infrastructure Gets A Glow-Up</h2>
America&#8217;s infrastructure renaissance is going full throttle, with $700 billion in spending set to energize construction, equipment, and materials companies. This may bode well for investors in the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>).
These stalwarts of the old economy are reinventing themselves with cutting-edge tech to expand margins—all while trading at attractive valuations compared to the broader S&amp;P 500.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Defense Play: Beyond Jets &amp; Ships</h2>
Global tensions are driving a pivot from traditional defense platforms to high-tech solutions like AI-driven drones and cybersecurity systems. 
Palantir Technologies Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) Artificial Intelligence Platform and International Business Machines Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) WatsonX AI come to mind here.
Defense revenues are expected to jump nearly 10%, with margins climbing from 5.2% to 7.6%. Success will favor those adopting automation and next-generation technologies in this competitive landscape.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Automation &amp; Onshoring: A Tech Revolution</h2>
With the U.S. accelerating its onshoring efforts, automation and AI are emerging as the driving forces powering the shift.
Software companies and data centers are prepping for a revenue surge, with mega-cap tech upping its spending on data centers to $250 billion in 2025. 
Robotics and IoT hardware could also rebound from a sales plateau, making the automation sector one to watch. Companies enabling robotics and automation such as Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>), ABB (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>), Rockwell Automation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>), Zebra Technologies&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBRA#NASDAQ">ZBRA</a>), Teradyne (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>) and UiPath (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PATH#NYSE">PATH</a>) come to mind.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Independence Goes Nuclear</h2>
Energy's next frontier? Nuclear. With mega-cap tech giants eyeing modular nuclear reactors as a green and reliable power source, demand for uranium is heating up. Beyond the U.S., countries like Japan and Germany are also jumping on the nuclear bandwagon, signaling a global shift toward energy resilience.
U.S. companies such as Constellation Energy&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Cameco&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) and NuScale Power&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>) come to mind.
Helfstein's roadmap suggests a year of targeted strategies. By aligning portfolios with these U.S.-centric themes, investors might not just weather volatility—they could thrive in the chaos.

Baird Maintains Outperform on Rockwell Automation, Raises Price Target to $305

Rockwell Automation's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.07 million shares sold short, which is 2.07% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.06 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Rockwell Automation Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732634110_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Rockwell Automation has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Rockwell Automation's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Rockwell Automation's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.38%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.
