Emerson Electric Co. is experiencing significant insider selling, with executives divesting $2.6 million in shares and holding only 0.3% of the company. This comes despite the company reporting a revenue of $4.35 billion last quarter and maintaining profitability while repositioning towards high-margin, recurring revenue from software and sensors. Ranked as a top defensive stock, Emerson's backlog has risen to $7.9 billion, and it is expected to announce earnings of $1.55 per share, reflecting ongoing growth prospects.
