Mizuho has adjusted its outlook on Rockwell Automation (ROK, Financial), reducing the stock's price target from $270 to $245 while maintaining a Neutral rating. This adjustment comes as the company prepares for the upcoming earnings season, where the firm anticipates a deceleration in demand for electrical equipment and multi-industry products.
The shift in expectations is largely attributed to the potential financial impacts of escalating tariffs, especially those involving China. Although first-quarter performance checks have shown results generally in line with projections, these developments have overshadowed the current quarter. Corporations are responding to these tariff increases by raising prices, yet Mizuho warns of potential revenue leakage and sustained unmitigated challenges.
