Emerson Electric lands in London after Q2 earnings miss and Middle East impact

Emerson Electric's Falcon 7X (N8200E) touched down at London Luton Airport on May 16 after a 10-hour flight from Mumbai, where the aircraft had been stationed for several days. The trip comes just 11 days after the St. Louis-based industrial automation giant reported fiscal second-quarter results that missed revenue estimates, with the Middle East conflict weighing on sales.

As reported by Emerson on May 5, total revenue rose 3% to $4.56 billion, below analyst expectations of $4.6 billion, while adjusted profit per share of $1.54 narrowly beat consensus. CEO Lal Karsanbhai noted that "margins exceeded expectations" despite the regional headwinds, and raised the full-year adjusted profit forecast to a midpoint of $6.50 per share, in line with Wall Street estimates. The company also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.555 per share.

London is a key financial hub for investor meetings, and the timing suggests Karsanbhai is conducting a post-earnings roadshow. The aircraft, a Dassault Falcon 7X registered to Emerson, had been shuttling around Mumbai in the days prior—likely for customer or partner visits—before the transatlantic leg. The trip underscores Emerson's global reach as it navigates a dynamic demand environment, with underlying orders up 5% led by its software and systems vertical, per the company's earnings release [prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/emerson-reports-second-quarter-2026-results-updates-2026-outlook-302762917.html).
