Rockwell Automation (US7739031091) stock held near $433.34 in the August 19, 2026 CBOE close, after the shares ended that session at $433.18 and traded at $439.35 in extended trading.
Q3 numbers matter
The August 4, 2026 earnings flash put third-quarter revenue at $2.31 billion, above the $2.24 billion FactSet estimate, while adjusted EPS reached $3.49 versus $3.38 expected.
That is a clean beat on both lines, and it gives investors a fresh reference point for valuation after the stock's 1st Jan change of 11.35% on the CBOE snapshot.
Guidance is the swing factor
Recent coverage also pointed to FY2026 EPS estimate revisions, with one update lifting the forecast to $13.15 from $12.86, then $14.22 for FY2027 and $16.69 for FY2028.
For Rockwell Automation, that makes the gap between quarterly execution and full-year expectations the key number to watch, especially after Q3 revenue came in $70 million above consensus.
