ROCKWELL AUTOMATION, INC.

Shareholders of Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. is a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its shareholder base consists of a very large number of institutional and individual investors rather than a small, fully disclosed group. Under U.S. securities law, only investors that beneficially own 5% or more of the company’s common stock are required to publicly disclose their holdings, via Schedule 13G or 13D filings with the SEC; smaller holders are not individually identified in public records.

Based on the most recent Schedule 13G/13G-A filings, BlackRock, Inc. reported beneficial ownership of 10,222,503 shares (approximately 9.1% of outstanding common stock) as of March 31, 2026. Following an internal reorganization of the Vanguard Group completed in January 2026, index and other fund holdings previously reported by The Vanguard Group itself are now reported separately by its subsidiaries: Vanguard Capital Management and Vanguard Portfolio Management jointly reported beneficial ownership of 8,400,924 shares (approximately 7.47%) and 5,860,884 shares (approximately 5.21%) respectively, both as of March 31, 2026, together representing roughly 12.7% of outstanding shares. State Street Corporation was separately reported as a holder of 12,944,145 shares (approximately 5.92%) in a filing covering the 2023 calendar year; more recent, current State Street ownership data was not located and is not restated here as a present holding. These are passive institutional holdings disclosed under SEC Rule 13G, held by the reporting entities as investment advisers/managers on behalf of client funds and accounts, not as directors or controlling shareholders.

Data availability

Shareholder disclosure for Rockwell Automation, Inc. is "Major shareholders only": public filings identify holders that cross the 5% reporting threshold under U.S. securities law, but the remainder of the company’s approximately 112 million outstanding shares is held by a broad, undisclosed mix of institutional and retail investors not individually subject to reporting.

Group structure of Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Rockwell Automation, Inc. is a publicly traded, independent parent company; it is not a subsidiary of any other corporate entity, and its common stock is held directly by public and institutional shareholders rather than by a controlling parent (see Shareholders). As is typical for a large multinational public company, Rockwell Automation conducts operations in more than 100 countries through a network of wholly or majority owned operating and holding subsidiaries. The SEC filings reviewed for this profile do not itemize the full list of these subsidiaries by legal name, jurisdiction and registration number, so individual entities within that network are not presented here as verified relationships.

One verified corporate relationship is Sensia LLC, a joint venture Rockwell Automation formed with Schlumberger Limited (now SLB) in 2019, in which Rockwell Automation held a 53% interest and SLB held the remaining 47%. In October 2025, Rockwell Automation and SLB announced an agreement to dissolve the joint venture, under which Rockwell Automation will assume full ownership of Sensia’s process-automation business and SLB will take ownership of the venture’s lift-control, measurement, digital-solutions and edge-application businesses.

Verified corporate relationships

Recent structural changes

• Rockwell Automation and SLB announced the dissolution of the Sensia joint venture in October 2025; Rockwell Automation will assume 100% ownership of Sensia’s process-automation business as part of the wind-down.

Data availability

Group-structure information for Rockwell Automation, Inc. is "Parent only" from a verification standpoint: the company’s status as an independent, ultimate parent is confirmed by its SEC filings, and one joint-venture relationship (Sensia) is independently verified, but a complete list of Rockwell Automation’s operating subsidiaries, with jurisdictions, registration numbers and ownership percentages, was not available in the sources reviewed for this profile.
