ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
Emerson is pivoting from a diversified industrial to a pure-play automation company after selling non-core businesses. Aspen Technology acquisition adds AI-powered grid optimization. At 20x PE and 12% below ATH ($165), reasonable value for an industrial automation leader. ~55% international revenue benefits from weaker dollar. Fell 6.3% today — creating a better entry.
⚠️ Key Risk
Stock fell 6.3% today — significant one-day decline signals near-term headwinds. At 20x PE, not cheap for an industrial company in transition. Aspen Technology integration still in progress. Short-cycle industrial demand could soften. Less pure-play on energy grid than GEV or PWR. Competition from Honeywell, ABB, Siemens.
