Rockwell Automation Inc (NYSE: ROK)

In a report released yesterday, Noah Kaye from Oppenheimer assigned a Hold rating to Rockwell Automation Inc (NYSE: ROK). The company’s shares opened today at $178.95.

Kaye said:

“ROK announced a strategic partnership with $1B equity investment in IIoT platform vendor PTC. The move is consistent with ROK’s strategy of leveraging a best-in-class partnership network to provide comprehensive, flexible solutions to its customers. Rather than commit to a large, non-core software acquisition, ROK is deploying cash into a growth market while maintaining flexibility for incremental M&A. We see two primary benefits for ROK: (1) acceleration of software/services revenue growth via cross-selling and (2) potential appreciation of its investment in PTC, which could update its long-term financial targets at an Investor Day next Monday. We remain on the sidelines pending that update and our ROK HQ visit next Wednesday.”
