Rockwell Automation, Inc. reported third quarter fiscal 2024 results. "Rockwell delivered another quarter of good execution with sales, margin, and EPS all above our expectations. I’m particularly pleased with the progress we are making on driving productivity to support our long-term margin expansion targets.
