Jim Cramer Notes "Rockwell's Had a Great Year in 2025"

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:ROK) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the spotlight. Cramer had some positive things to say about the company, as he commented:

“It doesn’t get as much attention as artificial intelligence, but there’s another big, profitable theme this year, and that’s the reindustrialization of America. It’s about bringing companies… getting their manufacturing back here in the US, probably because it’s cheaper than dealing with some of these tariffs. Of course, if you’re going to manufacture in America, you don’t want to necessarily pay American wages.

So these companies embrace automation, which brings me to Rockwell Automation, the Wisconsin-based company that dominates the US market for what are called programmable logic controllers, basically industrial computers that are the brains of manufacturing operations. They also have a whole suite of software to help factories run more efficiently. Rockwell’s had a great year in 2025. And earlier this month, management gave some strong guidance for 2026, talking about 10% earnings growth at the midpoint of their forecast. No wonder the stock’s up 28% for the year. Can it keep running? I think it can.”

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:ROK) provides industrial automation and digital transformation technologies, including devices, control systems, software, engineered solutions, and many other support services.
