Christopher Snyder’s rating is based on several concerns regarding Emerson Electric Company’s future performance. The company’s guidance for the second half of fiscal year 2026 suggests a significant increase in organic growth, which appears overly optimistic given recent trends. Emerson’s volumes have been stagnant for the past six quarters and are expected to decline in the first half of 2026, raising doubts about the feasibility of a sharp recovery in the latter half.
Additionally, Snyder points out that the company’s reliance on price increases to drive past growth may not be sustainable, as these tailwinds are expected to diminish. The macroeconomic environment does not provide clear drivers for the anticipated growth, and Emerson’s end-market capital expenditure tracker, a reliable growth predictor, has shown no signs of improvement. These factors contribute to the skepticism surrounding Emerson’s ability to achieve its ambitious growth targets, leading to the Sell rating.
