Rockwell Automation reports Q3 adjusted EPS $2.71, consensus $2.08

Reports Q3 revenue $2.05B, consensus $2.06B. Reports Q3 total ARR up 17%. “Rockwell delivered another quarter of good execution with sales, margin, and EPS all above our expectations. I’m particularly pleased with the progress we are making on driving productivity to support our long-term margin expansion targets. We are already seeing the benefit from these actions this fiscal year and expect to drive margin growth and productivity through FY25 and beyond. On the demand side, we did see additional project delays this quarter, with customers citing weaker consumer demand, high interest rates, and policy uncertainty around tax, tariffs, and stimulus incentives as the main drivers for deferring their investment plans. Therefore, while we saw progress on inventory de-stocking at our distributors and machine builders in Q3, our low-single-digit sequential growth in orders was lower than we expected,” said Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO.
