Emerson reports revenue growth and dividend increase for fiscal 2026
Emerson concluded fiscal year 2026 with a 5 percent increase in net sales and announced a 7 percent boost to its quarterly dividend.
Automation firm Emerson reported net sales of $18.98 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, marking a 5 percent increase compared to the previous year. Fourth-quarter performance was particularly strong, with underlying orders rising by 14 percent and earnings per share reaching $1.33.
CEO Lal Karsanbhai attributed the positive results to sustained demand across core business verticals and significant long-cycle project activity. Following these results, Emerson announced a 7 percent increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.595 per share, payable on December 10, 2026.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, the company expects approximately 5 percent net sales growth. Emerson’s financial plan for the coming year includes returning roughly $3.8 billion to shareholders through a combination of share repurchases and dividend payments.
