Blake Moret, chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation, discussed the company’s fiscal third-quarter 2026 results during an earnings call on August 4, 2026. He reported double-digit year-over-year growth in sales and earnings that exceeded expectations, attributing the performance to the company’s position in North America, expansion into new end markets, accelerated product introductions, and disciplined execution. He also noted that organic growth would have been 8% in the quarter even excluding data center-related demand. During the call, Moret addressed supply chain and pricing challenges, stating that the company was reacting to ongoing instability and taking pricing actions as appropriate. He highlighted structural changes implemented during earlier supply chain shortages, including fixed discount methodologies for faster price realization, more frequent price adjustments, and efforts to source alternative materials to introduce competition. He also clarified that the company’s fourth-quarter gross margin was expected to be in the low 30s, around 33%, with sequential declines driven by inflation rather than volume changes.
