Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Emerson (NYSE:EMR) shares dropped 8% on Thursday, underperforming the S&P 500 Index which gained 1%, despite BofA Securities maintaining its Buy rating and $165.00 price target on the stock.
BofA Securities attributed the stock’s decline to investor perception of "less upside" rather than concerns about weakening demand fundamentals. The firm noted that Emerson’s third-quarter fiscal 2025 orders grew 4% year-over-year, maintaining the previous quarter’s growth rate despite facing a 400 basis point tougher comparison. This growth comes as the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 52.7% and generates annual revenue of $17.8 billion. InvestingPro data reveals 15+ additional key insights about Emerson’s financial health and market position.
Emerson narrowed its fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance to approximately $6.00, compared to the previous range of $5.90-$6.05, effectively lowering the high end of its forecast.
