Emerson Q4 sales up 5% to $4.9 billion; adjusted EPS $1.62; new 50 million-share buyback
Emerson reported fiscal fourth-quarter 2025 net sales of $4,855 million, up 5% from a year earlier, and adjusted EPS of $1.62, up 9%. The company also gave initial fiscal 2026 guidance for adjusted EPS of $6.35 to $6.55, compared with $6.00 in fiscal 2025, and its board authorized repurchases of up to 50 million shares, which matters to shareholders because it signals a shift toward returning cash to them.
