Description: ROK Rockwell Automation September 29, 2025
Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) delivers industrial automation and digital-transformation solutions across six geographic regions, operating through three core segments: Intelligent Devices (drives, motion, safety, sensing, and configurable components), Software & Control (control/visualization software, information software, and network-security infrastructure), and Lifecycle Services (consulting, professional services, and connected-maintenance offerings). The company’s go-to-market model relies on a network of independent distributors complemented by a direct sales force.
Its end-market exposure spans discrete manufacturers (automotive, semiconductor, warehousing/logistics), general-industry sectors (printing, marine, aerospace), hybrid segments (food & beverage, life sciences, personal-care), eco-industrial applications (water/wastewater, renewable energy), and process industries (oil & gas, mining, chemicals). This diversification mitigates concentration risk but also ties performance to cyclical capital-expenditure trends in each vertical.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year show revenue of roughly $8.4 billion, an operating margin near 15 %, and a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of digital-services revenue of about 12 %. Analysts track the broader industrial-automation market, which is projected by IHS Markit to expand at a 6 % CAGR through 2029, driven by reshoring, AI-enabled predictive maintenance, and increasing adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Rockwell’s earnings are sensitive to macro-level drivers such as global manufacturing PMI trends, semiconductor equipment spending cycles, and energy-transition investments that boost demand for automation in renewable-energy and water-treatment projects.
