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.

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.

In the last four trailing quarters, EMR has reported an average positive earnings surprise of 2.9%. Emerson’s results are expected to benefit from positive developments at the company’s Commercial & Residential Solutions segment, as well as favorable trends in the U.S. construction market.
