Oppenheimer analyst Noah Kaye raised the firm’s price target on Rockwell Automation (ROK) to $371 from $304 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Entering Q2 earnings season, the firm says investor sentiment has improved materially for short cycle and equipment-focused names in its Industrial Efficiency coverage, while it has been mixed on secular themes. Temporary reprieves on tariffs likely support Q2 margin upside for the majority of stocks under coverage, along with demand pull-forward for select names, Oppenheimer adds. Prospectively, while trade negotiations remain fluid, the firm sees signs of the industrial cycle bottoming.
