We cannot judge Emerson Electric Co. yet, because fewer than five years had both a return on capital and a cost of capital we could measure. This is not a “no”.

Emerson Electric Co. (EMR) has a Lemma Quality Score of 5.0 out of 10 as of October 18, 2026, which reads as mixed quality. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Ranked with the 270 Industrials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 40th percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. The median across the group is 5.6, and the top quarter begins at 6.5, so Emerson Electric Co. is below the typical company here.
Profitability scores 6.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 262 Industrials companies is 4.9, so Emerson Electric Co. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 73rd percentile. Profitability in the middle of the range is neither a moat nor a warning: margins and returns look like those of an ordinary business in this line of work.
There is no solvency score for Emerson Electric Co.: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 241 Industrials companies the median for this pillar is 7.1. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Growth scores 2.9 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 216 Industrials companies is 5.4, so Emerson Electric Co. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 18th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.
On efficiency, Emerson Electric Co. scores 6.2, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.2 across 264 Industrials companies, which places it in line with them, at the 49th percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.
Emerson Electric Co.’s predictability score is 4.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.0 among 267 Industrials companies, that is below the group and the 42nd percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 6.5 but growth only 2.9, a gap of 3.6 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is growth. If it rose to the median of Industrials companies, 5.4, Emerson Electric Co.’s overall score would go from 5.0 to about 5.6. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.
These are the Industrials companies closest to Emerson Electric Co. in market value. Each has its own page scored on the same five pillars, so the comparison is like for like.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
