Rockwell Automation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 April 1987. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Rockwell Automation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rockwell Automation shares which in turn could have impacted Rockwell Automation's share price.

Valuing Rockwell Automation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Rockwell Automation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Rockwell Automation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Rockwell Automation shares trade at around 23x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Rockwell Automation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.6694. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Rockwell Automation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Rockwell Automation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1.8 billion (£1.5 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Rockwell Automation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Rockwell Automation's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$244.4706 up to US$345.4581. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Rockwell Automation's is 1.458. This would suggest that Rockwell Automation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 39.52% of net profits
Recently Rockwell Automation has paid out, on average, around 39.52% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Rockwell Automation shareholders could enjoy a 1.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Rockwell Automation's case, that would currently equate to about $4.72 per share.
While Rockwell Automation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Rockwell Automation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Rockwell Automation's most recent dividend payout was on 11 December 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 November 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
