▼ + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Alex Harring | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Pokrzywinski called Rockwell an "automation pure play," noting it's in the middle of an "unusual" business cycle. Those investments could result in a 4% to 5% annual growth in capital spending on U.S. manufacturing, according to Morgan Stanley estimates.

A lot has been said about reshoring, as companies look to bring manufacturing back to their home countries, particularly the U.S. Reshoring is essentially companies returning operations to their original country from overseas. "The reshoring craze is real, especially as you continue to hear more and more about this general theme of deglobalization," he said. "They sell into the construction of the factory, they sell into the equipment of the factory, the automation of the factory." The company's equipment is needed for big semiconductor manufacturing plants as companies test chips as they are produced, Snyder said.

☆ Investor Bill Baruch likes this automation stock heading into 2023

Investor Bill Baruch said he likes Rockwell Automation as sticky wages further increase employers' interest in trimming labor costs.

Average hourly wages jumped 0.6% from the prior month, and they climbed 5.1% from a year ago, also exceeding analyst expectations. Meanwhile, the industrial automation company narrowly beat analyst expectations for per-share earnings and revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter, according to FactSet. Baruch isn't the only one taking note of the stock – but not necessarily for the same reason.
