Key Points

  • After a breakout fiscal third quarter earnings report, Emerson Electric has been upgraded to ‘buy’ twice and received several price target increases.
  • Popular brands, a debt-free balance sheet and a rising 2.1% dividend make the dip in Lancaster Colony well worth dipping into.
  • Eight out of nine analysts have buy ratings on Sysco stock and the group’s average price target of $85.56 implies almost 25% upside.
  • Five stocks to consider instead of Emerson Electric.
