Description: ROK Rockwell Automation January 29, 2026
Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) delivers industrial automation and digital-transformation solutions worldwide through three operating segments-Intelligent Devices, Software & Control, and Lifecycle Services-offering hardware (drives, motion, safety, sensing), software (control, visualization, digital-twin, simulation), and engineered services such as cybersecurity, remote monitoring, and asset-optimization consulting.
In fiscal 2025 the company generated ≈ $9.0 billion of revenue, posting an adjusted EPS of $4.15 and an operating margin of 18%, with free cash flow of about $1.2 billion, reflecting steady growth despite a modest slowdown in global manufacturing activity.
Key drivers of ROK’s outlook include a 6%-7% CAGR in worldwide industrial-automation capex, accelerated adoption of AI-enabled digital twins in the automotive and semiconductor sectors, and a favorable U.S. manufacturing PMI trend that supports demand for its discrete-and-process-industry solutions.
