Oct 31 (Reuters) - Emerson Electric Co (EMR.N) is selling a majority stake in its climate technologies unit to Blackstone Inc (BX.N), the U.S. industrial firm said on Monday, in a deal that values the unit at $14 billion. The deal would give Blackstone a 55% stake in the unit. Blackstone and co-investors would contribute $4.4 billion in equity toward the deal, which would be supplemented by $5.5 billion of debt financing, Emerson said. As part of that pivot, Emerson in August also sold its unit that makes waste disposal equipment and hot water dispensers to Whirlpool Corp (WHR.N). The Blackstone deal is expected to close in the first half of 2023.
But Emanuel sees the chance for a 17% to 20% rally in the S & P 500. The S & P 500 was down about 0.9% for the week, as of Friday afternoon, and it was hovering just above 3,600. S & P 500 earnings are expected to grow by 3.6% for the third quarter, based on actual reports and estimates, according to Refinitiv. Without the boost from more than doubling profits from energy companies, S & P earnings would decline by 3.1%.
