Management Commentary

“Emerson delivered a solid fiscal 2025, marked by continued margin expansion, robust cash generation and strong execution. The dedication of our global teams was instrumental in driving our performance and advancing Emerson’s position as the leading automation company,” said Emerson President and Chief Executive Officer Lal Karsanbhai. “We are proud of the meaningful progress we have made integrating AspenTech and of completing the Test & Measurement integration – delivering on our commitment to achieve $200M of run-rate cost synergies.”

Karsanbhai continued, “Our portfolio is aligned with long-term secular trends positioned to drive sustainable growth into the future. These trends have driven mid-single-digit underlying orders growth for three consecutive quarters, supporting our sales expectations for 2026 and beyond. We remain confident in our operational execution and ability to return cash to shareholders, accelerating further value creation.”

2026 Outlook

The following tables summarize the fiscal year 2026 guidance framework. As we pivot capital allocation to returning cash to shareholders, the 2026 outlook assumes returning ~$2.2B through ~$1B of share repurchases and ~$1.2B of dividends.
