Rockwell Automation stock price 2027–2031: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Rockwell Automation's earnings keep growing at the 10.5% a year analysts expect to FY2029, it would earn about 22.11 a share in FY2031. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (23.8 to 45.5) that is 525.47 to 1,005.08 a share, or 717.99 at its average P/E of 32.5. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | 15.05 | 357.64 | 488.67 | 684.07 |
| FY2028 | 16.67 | 396.08 | 541.20 | 757.60 |
| FY2029 | 18.11 | 430.32 | 587.98 | 823.08 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 20.01 | 475.52 | 649.74 | 909.54 |
| FY2031 (extrapolated) | 22.11 | 525.47 | 717.99 | 1,005.08 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2029; the years after grow 10.5% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (23.8, 32.5, 45.5).
Is Rockwell Automation stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Rockwell Automation's P/E of 31.9 is around the middle of its 5-year range (20.9 to 56.0, median 32.2). It is in line with its own history. Buyers pay less for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 2.5 on expected growth against 20.1 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (31.0 × EPS of 12.57), Rockwell Automation's fair value is 389.88, close to the price of 400.75. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2027, is 26.6.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (20.9 and 56.0). The price against its P/E range
