TheFly reported on December 15 that Evercore ISI initiated coverage on EMR with an Outperform rating and a $170 price target. Analyst Alexander Virgo cited the company’s higher-quality portfolio following its recent strategic transformation.
Evercore noted that EMR’s increasing exposure to automation and software solutions positions the company for stronger growth cycles and supports above-average free cash flow generation over time. The firm also highlighted Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE:EMR)’s significant 600–700 basis point expansion in gross and EBITA margins, attributing the improvement to enhanced pricing power, productivity gains, and a richer software mix.

In contrast, on December 10, 2025, Jefferies downgraded EMR from Buy to Hold and maintained its $145 price target. Analyst Saree Boroditsky cited a more balanced risk-reward profile following the company’s multi-year portfolio transformation, including the completion of the AspenTech acquisition and the recent introduction of longer-term financial targets.
