Wrapping up Q1 earnings, we look at the numbers and key takeaways for the internet of things stocks, including Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR) and its peers.

Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) companies are buoyed by the secular trend of a more connected world. They often specialize in nascent areas such as hardware and services for factory automation, fleet tracking, or smart home technologies. Those who play their cards right can generate recurring subscription revenues by providing cloud-based software services, boosting their margins. On the other hand, if the technologies these companies have invested in don’t pan out, they may have to make costly pivots.

The 7 internet of things stocks we track reported a mixed Q1; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 1%. while next quarter's revenue guidance was 2.6% below consensus. Stocks--especially those trading at higher multiples--had a strong end of 2023, but 2024 has seen periods of volatility. Mixed signals about inflation have led to uncertainty around rate cuts, and while some of the internet of things stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they collectively declined, with share prices falling 0% on average since the previous earnings results.
