MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Rockwell Automation
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Rockwell Automation, Inc.:

Recent analyst upgrades have increased target prices, with Barclays raising theirs to $370.00, indicating strong market confidence in the company's growth potential.
The current stock price is around $333.79, which is significantly higher than its 52-week low of $215.00, suggesting a positive trend in the stock's performance.
Rockwell Automation, Inc. has received multiple "overweight" ratings from analysts, reflecting a favorable outlook compared to the broader market.
The company operates in the growing industrial automation sector, which is expected to expand as businesses increasingly adopt digital transformation solutions.
Insider activity shows confidence, with executives recently selling shares at prices above $350, indicating they believe the stock is at a strong valuation.

Rockwell Automation
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Rockwell Automation, Inc. for these reasons:

Despite positive ratings, the stock has a relatively high P/E ratio of 39.18, which may indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings.
Insider selling activity has been notable, with significant shares sold recently, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
The company has a quick ratio of 0.72, suggesting potential liquidity issues, as it may not have enough short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities.
Market volatility, indicated by a beta of 1.41, suggests that the stock may experience larger price swings compared to the market, which could pose risks for investors.
With only 0.68% of the stock owned by insiders, there may be less alignment between management and shareholder interests, which can be a red flag for potential investors.
