Emerson Electric stock (ISIN US2910111044) closed at USD 147.40 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2026, gaining 1.08 percent from a prior close near USD 145.80 and extending its year-to-date advance to around low double digits.

Recent earnings beat and guidance frame the story

According to MarketBeat on September 18, 2026, Emerson Electric reported quarterly earnings per share of USD 1.71 on revenue of USD 4.87 billion for a quarter whose results were released on August 4, 2026, modestly above the consensus EPS estimate of USD 1.68 and ahead of analyst revenue expectations of USD 4.80 billion.

In the same report, revenue for the quarter was described as up compared with the prior-year period, when Emerson Electric delivered EPS of USD 1.52, meaning earnings per share rose by USD 0.19 year on year, or roughly 12.5 percent in absolute terms, while the company achieved a net margin of 13.83 percent and a return on equity of 17.58 percent for the period.

Dividend and analyst targets support valuation

Emerson Electric complements its earnings profile with a regular cash return to shareholders; as noted by MarketBeat, the company paid a quarterly dividend of USD 0.555 per share with a record date of August 14, 2026 and payment date of September 10, 2026, corresponding to an annualized dividend of USD 2.22 per share and a dividend yield of about 1.5 percent at recent prices.

That same overview highlights that, based on trailing earnings, Emerson Electric’s dividend payout ratio stands near 48.58 percent, leaving room for reinvestment and potential future increases while still providing income, and sell-side analysts collectively anticipate full-year 2026 EPS of USD 6.55, in line with management guidance of approximately USD 6.55 per share for the fiscal year.

Analyst sentiment is broadly constructive: according to MarketBeat on September 18, 2026, Emerson Electric carries a consensus rating of Moderate Buy from 24 analysts, with an average price target of USD 167.83 per share, implying roughly 12 to 13 percent upside from the neighborhood of USD 148 and with individual targets ranging from USD 135.00 at the low end to USD 186.00 at the high end.
