Zacks raises earnings estimate and keeps Rockwell Automation stock at Hold
Published on 10/07/2026 at 15:29 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Rockwell Automation stock (ISIN US7739031091) was trading at EUR 400.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:19 p.m. CEST, down 0.01 percent versus the EUR 400.30 prior close on October 6, 2026. The latest analyst change came from Zacks Research, which raised its fiscal second-quarter 2027 earnings estimate to USD 3.59 per share from USD 3.58 in a note issued on October 6, 2026, while keeping a Hold rating, MarketBeat reported.
Analyst view stays cautious
The small estimate increase does not change the broader rating picture. According to MarketBeat on October 7, 2026, 13 of 22 analysts rated the company Hold and nine rated it Buy, with a consensus 12-month price target of USD 469.82.
The same overview shows Goldman Sachs cutting its target from USD 510.00 to USD 485.00 on September 30, 2026, while Morgan Stanley raised its target from USD 525.00 to USD 545.00 on September 2, 2026. These divergent revisions leave the consensus target above the primary-exchange quote but do not create a uniform analyst signal.
Fiscal third-quarter growth supplies support
Rockwell Automation reported USD 2.31 billion in revenue for fiscal third-quarter 2026, compared with USD 2.24 billion consensus, according to MarketBeat. Revenue increased 7.9 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while earnings per share reached USD 3.49 against USD 3.38 consensus.
The company also set fiscal 2026 earnings guidance at USD 13.00 to USD 13.30 per share. That range sits near the current full-year analyst consensus of USD 13.25, so the next reported quarter matters for whether expectations move beyond the existing framework.
Stock remains below its yearly high
The Lang & Schwarz price was 19.52 percent below the USD 497.36 52-week high when measured against the primary-exchange range, which also included a USD 332.71 low. The currencies differ, so the range provides directional context rather than a direct comparison with the euro quote.
Finance data put Rockwell Automation's market capitalization at USD 50.2 billion as of October 7, 2026. The company operates in the Industrials sector and provides industrial automation and digital transformation solutions through Intelligent Devices, Software & Control, and Lifecycle Services, according to its company profile.
Next scheduled company milestone
Rockwell Automation's investor-relations calendar lists its annual investor meeting for November 18, 2026, in a company announcement published on September 30, 2026, Rockwell Automation said. The next earnings cycle is expected in November, making the fiscal 2026 guidance range and the USD 3.59 estimate central reference points for the next results update.
