Rockwell Automation stock is backed by fiscal third-quarter sales of USD 2.313 billion, up 8 percent year over year, as the company raised its fiscal 2026 outlook. The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 also included adjusted EPS of USD 3.49 and diluted EPS of USD 3.65.
Guidance rises after Q3 growth
According to StockTitan, Rockwell now guides to reported and organic sales growth of 7.5 percent to 9.5 percent for fiscal 2026. The same update sets diluted EPS guidance at USD 12.72 to USD 13.02 and adjusted EPS guidance at USD 13.00 to USD 13.30.
The operating picture is stronger than the headline sales figure alone suggests. Net income attributable to Rockwell rose to USD 408 million from USD 291 million in the year-earlier quarter, while adjusted EBITDA reached USD 565 million, according to StockTitan.
Analysts split on valuation
The latest analyst actions point in different directions. MarketBeat reports that Deutsche Bank raised its price target from USD 469.00 to USD 500.00 and kept a Hold rating on September 30, 2026.
Goldman Sachs took the opposite route, cutting its target from USD 510.00 to USD 485.00 and assigning a Neutral rating, MarketBeat reports. The contrast leaves guidance execution and recurring revenue growth as the central valuation questions.
