Emerson reported fourth-quarter sales growth of 7% year over year. Over the full year, Emerson grew its sales 4% and adjusted earnings per share compounded nearly 10% on modest margin expansion.
The simplification of Emerson’s portfolio in recent years has positioned the firm for higher growth and focused operations.
Emerson has continued to make questionable capital allocation decisions, such as the expensive and unrelated acquisition of National Instruments.
