Management Commentary

“Emerson's second quarter results reflect our ability to deliver in a dynamic environment," said Emerson President and Chief Executive Officer Lal Karsanbhai. "While sales were impacted by the conflict in the Middle East, margins exceeded expectations, and we achieved strong adjusted earnings per share. Underlying orders were up 5% as we continue to see resilient demand, led by Software & Systems, with sustained momentum in our growth verticals."

Karsanbhai continued, "I want to thank our employees and customers in the Middle East for their unwavering commitment and resiliency. As we look ahead, 2026 continues to develop largely as expected with a strong second half, supported by orders momentum and a robust backlog."
