Fundamental Analysis   Analyst Recommendation  

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (ROK) is a leading industrial automation company, providing power, control, and information solutions to improve manufacturing capacity.
The company reported first quarter EPS of $1.04, up 36.8% from the prior-year quarter, amid strong productivity performance and higher sales volume. Acquisitions are
now providing more top-line boost, but at the cost of mitigating operating leverage. Management is confident that recent growth investments and international diversification will deliver FY2008 revenue up 10-12% (including acquisition/FX of +4%), with international sales
expected to deliver mid-teens organic growth and North America accelerating modestly to mid-single-digits. We  reiterate our Buy rating on shares of ROK with a target
price of $65.00 per share.
