ROK Advanced Stock Chart

The interactive chart below displays ROK price and volume history across time intervals from intraday to multi-year views. Developments that Rockwell’s own filings highlight include a $224 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge in fiscal 2025, a $120 million net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the same year, and continued investment in the Software & Control segment’s production-automation and production-operations software portfolio. Demand tied to discrete, hybrid and process manufacturing capital spending can also influence price. Price history is one input among several and should be read alongside fundamentals.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. Financial Statements and Fundamentals

Key figures worth examining for Rockwell include sales trends across its three segments, the effect of the fiscal 2025 impairment charge, and the divergence between total net income and net income attributable to Rockwell Automation driven by noncontrolling interests. Sales were $8,342 million in fiscal 2025, up modestly from $8,264 million in fiscal 2024 but still below $9,058 million in fiscal 2023; net income attributable to Rockwell Automation was $869 million in fiscal 2025, down from $953 million in fiscal 2024 and $1,387 million in fiscal 2023 (10-K).

Fiscal 2025 included a $224 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge and a $120 million net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (which made net income attributable to Rockwell Automation higher than total consolidated net income that year) — both factors worth isolating when comparing year-over-year profitability.

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (SEC filing, filed 2025-11-12); fiscal 2024 and 2023 comparatives as presented in that filing. Rockwell’s fiscal year ends September 30. In fiscal 2025, net income attributable to Rockwell Automation ($869 million) was **higher** than total consolidated net income ($749 million) because of a $120 million net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the period — a dynamic worth noting when comparing the two income lines. Fiscal 2025 also included a $224 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge. Rows marked “calculated” are derived by SaGeminieTech from the reported inputs shown.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. Company Profile and Business Model

Rockwell describes itself as the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, operating in three segments: Intelligent Devices (drives, motion, safety, sensing and industrial components), Software & Control (production-automation and production-operations software and hardware, including manufacturing execution systems and analytics), and Lifecycle Services (consulting, professional, connected and field services, plus the Sensia joint venture serving the oil, gas and petrochemical industry). The company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker.

Rockwell’s 10-K explicitly names Emerson Electric Co. among its major competitors, alongside Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, Honeywell and Dassault Systèmes. Geographically, North America was approximately 63% of fiscal 2025 sales, with the largest sales outside the United States in Canada, China, Italy, the United Kingdom and Mexico (table below). The two largest distributors, spanning all three segments, accounted for approximately 20% of total sales in each of the last three fiscal years.

The fiscal 2025 10-K (filed November 12, 2025) lists Blake D. Moret as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Christian E. Rothe as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (since August 2024). Rockwell is the third industrial/automation company profiled on this site; see SaGeminieTech’s Eaton and Emerson Electric company profiles for comparison — Rockwell’s pure-play industrial automation, control-software and lifecycle-services focus is presented here as distinct from Eaton’s electrical power-management/aerospace/mobility portfolio and Emerson’s broader process-automation and instrumentation business, not a duplicate of either.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. Historical Stock-Price Overview

The overview below covers ROK price and percentage change across several date ranges, with volume and moving-average context. Rockwell’s reported sales fell from $9,058 million in fiscal 2023 to $8,264 million in fiscal 2024 before a modest recovery to $8,342 million in fiscal 2025 (table above), while net income attributable to Rockwell Automation declined from $1,387 million to $869 million over the same period, partly reflecting the fiscal 2025 impairment charge. Price history is best interpreted alongside those segment-level and margin trends the company’s own filings describe, rather than in isolation.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. Shariah Compliance Snapshot

The snapshot below reflects third-party Shariah screening for ROK based on AAOIFI-derived methodology, as reported by two providers, Zoya and Musaffa, plus figures independently calculated by SaGeminieTech from Rockwell’s SEC filings and a market-capitalization snapshot. Both provider pages were read on 2026-10-01. Screening results change as market capitalization, debt, cash and non-permissible income change — treat this as a starting reference for further verification, not a certification, and not investment or religious guidance.

Current StatusZoya screens ROK as Shariah-compliant (zoya.finance/stocks/rok; AAOIFI standard) and Musaffa classifies it as HALAL, passing both business and financial screening criteria (musaffa.com/stock/ROK; AAOIFI-based methodology; last updated October 2026). The two sources agree as of 2026-10-01 on business activity and overall classification.

Debt / Market CapIndependently calculated: 5.41%. Rockwell’s fiscal 2025 10-K reports $2,616 million of long-term debt (current + noncurrent, including finance leases) at September 30, 2025, divided by a market capitalization of $48,340 million as of market close 2026-09-30 (stockanalysis.com). Under the commonly cited 30–33% threshold.

Cash / Market CapIndependently calculated: 0.97%. Cash and cash equivalents of $468 million at September 30, 2025, divided by the same $48,340 million market capitalization. Well under the commonly cited 30–33% threshold.

Non-Permissible IncomeZoya’s public page states $13 million of interest income for fiscal 2025 (0.16% of the combined total), which was independently confirmed against both the 10-K’s income statement and SEC XBRL data — no correction was needed. One of the lowest non-permissible-income ratios independently calculated on this site.

Business ActivityIndustrial automation: intelligent devices, production-automation and production-operations software, and lifecycle services for manufacturing industries. The Lifecycle Services segment includes the Sensia joint venture serving the oil, gas and petrochemical industry — an energy-sector-adjacent service relationship noted here for completeness rather than flagged as a compliance concern, since no lending, conventional banking, insurance, gambling or alcohol-related activity was found in the 10-K’s description of the business.

Screening BasisAAOIFI Standard (per Zoya’s and Musaffa’s stated methodologies), cross-checked here against Rockwell’s own fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, SEC XBRL data and a same-day market-capitalization snapshot.

Last ReviewedMusaffa last updated October 2026; both provider pages were read on 2026-10-01. The debt, cash and income figures were independently recalculated from the 10-K, SEC XBRL data and a 2026-09-30 market-capitalization snapshot as shown above.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. AAOIFI-style screening ratios — independently calculated
Ratio	Numerator	Denominator	Result	Commonly cited threshold
Interest-bearing debt ÷ market capitalization	Long-term debt: $2,616 million, current + noncurrent including finance leases (10-K, September 30, 2025)	Market capitalization: $48,340 million ([stockanalysis.com](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/rok/), close 2026-09-30)	5.41%	< 30–33%
Cash ÷ market capitalization	Cash and cash equivalents: $468 million (10-K, September 30, 2025)	Market capitalization: $48,340 million ([stockanalysis.com](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/rok/), close 2026-09-30)	0.97%	< 30–33%
Non-permissible (interest) income ÷ (revenue + interest income)	Interest income: $13 million (10-K income statement, fiscal 2025)	Revenue + interest income: $8,342m + $13m = $8,355m	0.16%	< 5%

Rockwell discloses interest income as its own line on the face of its income statement ($13 million for fiscal 2025), separate from interest expense ($156 million) — this figure was independently confirmed against SEC XBRL data and required no correction. This is one of the lowest non-permissible-income ratios independently calculated on this site. Market capitalization is a point-in-time figure (2026-09-30 close) applied against fiscal-year-end balance-sheet figures (September 30, 2025); it will move daily and these ratios should be recalculated before relying on them.

This snapshot is a screening summary for research purposes, not a certification of Shariah compliance and not investment or religious guidance. All three AAOIFI-style ratios were independently calculated for this page and fall comfortably under commonly cited thresholds, with Zoya’s stated interest-income figure confirmed accurate. Market capitalization changes daily and these figures should be recalculated before relying on them. Confirm the latest status directly with Zoya, with Musaffa, or with a qualified Shariah adviser before relying on any compliance conclusion.

SaGeminieTech independently calculated all three AAOIFI-style ratios from the 10-K, SEC XBRL data and a same-day market-capitalization snapshot: debt/market cap 5.41%, cash/market cap 0.97%, and non-permissible income 0.16% — all comfortably under commonly cited thresholds, with Zoya’s stated interest-income figure confirmed accurate. This is a screening summary, not a compliance certification — check a current, named screening source or a qualified Shariah adviser before relying on any status.

Conclusion

Rockwell Automation is an industrial automation company whose fiscal 2025 sales of $8,342 million (company-reported) reflect a modest recovery from fiscal 2024 but remain below fiscal 2023 levels, with profitability affected by a $224 million impairment charge and a notable swing between total and attributable net income driven by noncontrolling interests. The company’s three-segment structure — Intelligent Devices, Software & Control, and Lifecycle Services — positions it as a pure-play industrial automation specialist, distinct from Eaton’s power-management focus and Emerson’s broader process-automation business, both also covered on this site. SaGeminieTech independently verified Rockwell’s Shariah-screening ratios against its own SEC filings, SEC XBRL data and a same-day market-capitalization snapshot, finding all three AAOIFI-style ratios comfortably under typical thresholds and confirming Zoya’s stated interest-income figure as accurate. The tools on this page — charts, financials, technical indicators and news — support ongoing research into Rockwell, but they do not replace a review of its official filings or independent financial, legal, tax or Shariah advice.
