EPS growth at 17.8% — +648% above the sector median — looks striking, but the balance sheet context tempers that read. Debt/EBITDA sits at 2.7×, above the sector median of 2.3× by +17%, and the current ratio of 0.88 runs -27% below the sector median of 1.20, placing both metrics in the bottom quartile of the Industrials sector. ROE of 10.9% trails the sector median of 33.8% by -68%, which is a wide gap for an industrial company. The F-Score of 7/9 reflects the split: the profitability sub-score is clean, but the liquidity and leverage sub-scores pull the total down. Consensus carries a mixed record here — the beat rate is weak and the realized growth in SEC filings has been modest — so the market's forward models deserve some skepticism. The composite of 34/100 against the sector median captures the tension between a headline EPS number and a balance sheet that is under structural strain.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
When Emerson reports on 2026-11-03, track whether EPS growth holds above the sector median after a 648% YoY gap, and whether FCF yield stays near 2.89×. Also check if the current ratio, now 27% below the sector median at 1.20, shows any improvement in working capital management.
On SEC EDGAR, open Emerson's latest 10-K and focus on the Leverage and Liquidity section — the F-Score flags only 1 out of 3 signals there. Cross-reference management's explanation of the 33.8% ROE, which sits 68% below the sector median, against their stated capital allocation priorities.
Pick two or three companies from the same-sector table in section 06 and line up one metric — P/B at 8.03× or FCF yield at 2.89× are useful starting points. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the selection and weighting of peers is your own judgment call.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
