Rockwell reported 7% year-over-year underlying organic sales growth in the fourth quarter. Over the full year, underlying organic sales grew 9% and adjusted earnings per share compounded 27%. Shares traded down significantly the morning of Nov. 5.
Rockwell dominates niche industrial automation functions and has defended its position for decades, giving us confidence it can do so in the future.
Although Rockwell generates higher margins than peers, it competes against very large firms that can easily outspend it in R&D, potentially eroding its technology advantage over time.
