**Emerson Electric Reports Robust Third Quarter Performance**
For the third quarter, Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR) announced net sales of $4.873 billion, marking a 7% rise from the previous year, fueled by strong demand across North America and Asia. The company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) reached $1.71, a 13% increase, attributed to operational efficiencies and higher volumes. Underlying orders grew 7% year-over-year, with the Software & Systems segment experiencing a 10% uplift.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin expanded by 140 basis points to 28.5%, reflecting a favorable segment mix and effective price-cost management. The Test & Measurement division saw sales grow 23%, supported by significant order growth in the semiconductor market. Power division sales surged 37%, driven by investments in utility fleet modernizations and grid infrastructure.
The company's project funnel reached $12.4 billion, an 8% increase from the prior year, with sequential growth in the power market. Free Cash Flow for the quarter was $1.323 billion, a 36% increase, benefiting from operational performance and the timing of tariff refunds. Annual Contract Value for software subscriptions increased 9% to $1.68 billion.
Offsetting some gains, the Middle East experienced a $25 million revenue headwind due to supply chain issues related to regional conflict. China's underlying sales declined 3% but showed sequential improvement. Software & Systems Margin saw a slight decrease due to a higher mix of lower-margin projects and contract renewal timing.
Emerson raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to approximately $6.55, from a previous forecast of $6.40 to $6.50, and anticipates overall sales growth of approximately 5% for the fiscal year.
