Emerson Electric Raises Profit Forecast on Lower Tariff Costs, Strong Demand

Engineering solutions firm Emerson Electric (EMR.N) on Wednesday slightly increased its 2025 adjusted profit per share forecast to $6, citing reduced tariff-related cost risks and robust demand for its intelligent devices segment. Despite the positive outlook, the company’s shares fell over 7% in premarket trading.

Emerson’s intelligent devices business saw revenue rise 4% to $3.13 billion during the quarter, driven by increased demand for measurement, analytical components, and pressure-relief and safety valves. Overall quarterly net sales grew 4% to $4.55 billion, slightly below analyst expectations of $4.59 billion.

The company reported a third-quarter adjusted profit of $1.52 per share, narrowly beating the consensus estimate of $1.51 per share. Emerson attributed its updated sales guidance of approximately 3.5% growth to pricing actions supported by reduced tariff expense exposure.

Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Emerson remains optimistic about steady growth supported by market demand and easing trade-related costs.
