Price levels and recent trading context
Per the Rockwell Automation press releases overview on the company investor-relations site, which shows a New York Stock Exchange quote history, the stock closed at USD 426.08 on September 9, 2026 and at USD 421.37 on September 10, 2026, reflecting a decline of 1.1 percent on September 10, 2026 from the prior close. According to Rockwell Automation, these values are based on 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time closing prices on the respective days.
For investors, this places the current level of roughly USD 421.49 as of September 11, 2026 slightly below the September 9, 2026 close of USD 426.08, a difference of about 1.1 percent, indicating that the stock has eased back modestly from that recent level while still trading near the upper part of its latest short term range.
Fundamentals and reporting schedule
Rockwell Automation most recently reported its quarterly and annual results prior to September 11, 2026, but the company investor-relations press releases list no new earnings announcement in the week leading up to September 11, 2026, and the next major results date lies beyond the immediate horizon. The overview on Yahoo Finance profiles Rockwell Automation in the industrials sector and lists an upcoming earnings date of November 5, 2026, which would be the next scheduled report as of September 11, 2026. According to Yahoo Finance, that earnings event is set for November 5, 2026 at 12:30 p.m. UTC.
Because no fresh quarterly report has been published within the last week, investors are mainly relying on previously reported figures from the latest fiscal year and interim periods as background, while the current analyst targets and institutional flows provide the more immediate signals for Rockwell Automation stock on September 11, 2026.
Risk factors and valuation considerations
The Hold consensus reported by MarketBeat indicates that, while analysts see upside relative to the current price through the average target of USD 469.14, they also highlight risks such as cyclical industrial demand and potential margin pressure in automation projects.
For Rockwell Automation stock, that combination of an approximately 11 percent gap between the current level of around USD 421.49 and the USD 469.14 consensus target, alongside cautious ratings, suggests a balanced risk reward profile where additional fundamental catalysts from future earnings will be important for re rating.
Rockwell Automation stock price as of latest close
Rockwell Automation stock last closed at USD 421.37 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 10, 2026, based on the company investor-relations quote snapshot at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
