Emerson (EMR) Q3 Earnings in Line, Guides Up

Read MoreHide Full Article

Emerson Electric Co. (EMR - Free Report) is a diversified global manufacturing and technology company. It offers a wide range of products and services in the areas of process management, climate technologies, network power, storage solutions, professional tools, appliance solutions, motor technologies, and industrial automation.

EMR’s ongoing mergers and acquisitions are likely to influence it to grow its business and help it gain access to new technologies and markets across geographies. Moreover, EMR’s cost cutting and restructuring initiatives are expected to benefit its results going forward. Emerson’s results are expected to benefit from strong momentum at the company’s Network Power segment, as well as favourable trends in the U.S. construction market.

However, investors should note that, the company has been suffering from low revenues over the last few quarters due to negative effect of currency fluctuations.

EMR has had a modest earnings history, having beaten estimates twice over the four trailing quarters, for an average positive earnings surprise of 4.3%.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
