Analysis

Quality compounder

Rockwell Automation, Inc. earns the quality_compounder label: good underlying economics priced fairly, with no obvious bargain or excess.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 42.3×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 16% a year, against analyst forecasts of 14%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
