What's Driving This Ratingfor EMR

✓

CapEx already efficient

CapEx at 2.58% of revenue is already at or below sector maintenance level. No normalization needed — cash conversion is already strong.

→

Moderate revenue growth

Analyst consensus projects 5.18% revenue growth, fading to 2.25% by Year 10. Revenue reaches $25.9B (vs $18.0B today).

↔

Perpetuity and exit methods disagree

Perpetuity growth gives $71.69/share (15.4x terminal FCF) while exit multiple gives $104.32/share (25.3x terminal FCF). The 18x EV/EBITDA exit reflects current market multiples, while the perpetuity method with 2.25% growth is more conservative. The base case averages both methods.

🎯

Market pricing in higher long-term growth

To justify $146.57, the market implies 6.12% perpetual growth — 387bps above the model's 2.25%. This suggests the market sees additional growth catalysts (AI, new products, market expansion) not captured in analyst estimates.

✓

Strong cash flow conversion

Year 10 FCF/EBITDA conversion of 71.12% indicates efficient cash generation. FCF reaches $4.4B by Year 10 (16.86% FCF margin).

WACC Calculation

WACC = (E/V × Re) + (D/V × Rd × (1-Tc))

WACC = (85.79% × 10.12%) + (14.21% × 1.51%)
