Emerson Electric’s profit jumps 47 percent as automation unit performs well
US equipment maker Emerson Electric Co posted a near 47 percent jump in third-quarter profit, benefiting from stronger performance at its automation unit as companies revamp their assembly lines to offset a shortage of factory workers.
The St. Louis, Missouri-based company, which began selling fans and electric motors more than a century ago, has been positioning itself as a technology-focused firm with a string of acquisitions over the last few years.
Companies globally have been making efforts to automate their assembly lines by adding robots to help meet rising demand for goods, amid a shortage of workers following the pandemic.
Still, the industrial conglomerate trimmed its full-year net sales growth outlook to a range of 7 percent to 8 percent, down from its prior outlook of 8 percent to 10 percent, to reflect impacts from its exit from Russia, deals, and other headwinds related to COVID-19.
The company’s net earnings rose to $921 million, or $1.54 cents per share, in the quarter ended June 30, from $627 million, or $1.04 per share, a year earlier.
