Emerson Stock Analysis
Last week was a slow week for the blog because work was really busy, so I figured I'd give y'all another stock analysis. This time I decided to take a look at Emerson Electric Company (EMR). Emerson closed on Friday 5/25/12 at $47.28.
Company Background:Emerson Electric Co. operates as a diversified technology company worldwide. It engages in designing and supplying products and technology, and delivering engineering services and solutions to industrial, commercial, and consumer markets. The companys Process Management segment offers customers products and technology, and engineering and project management services for precision measurement, control, monitoring, and asset optimization of oil and gas reservoirs and power generating plants, as well as for food and beverage, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, and municipal water supply industries. Its Industrial Automation segment provides integrated manufacturing solutions for products, such as motors, power generating alternators, power transmission solutions, and fluid controls and materials joining equipment. The companys Network Power segment designs, manufactures, installs, and maintains products, which offer grid to chip electric power conditioning, power reliability, and environmental control for telecommunications networks, data centers, and other critical applications, as well as provides comprehensive data center infrastructure management solutions. Its Climate Technologies segment offers products and services for the climate control industry, including residential heating and cooling, commercial air conditioning, and commercial and industrial refrigeration. The companys Tools and Storage segment provides a range of professional and do-it-yourself tools, storage solutions, and appliances and components. Emerson Electric Co. operates primarily in the United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.
DCF Valuation:Analysts expect Emerson to grow earnings 11.32% per year for the next five years and I've assumed they can continue to grow at 3.00% per year thereafter. Running these numbers through a DCF analysis with a 10% discount rate yields a fair value price of $70.40. This means that at $47.28 the shares are undervalued by 33%.
