Rockwell Automation, AWS Partner To Help Accelerate Manufacturing Through Advanced Industrial Automation Solutions

President Donald Trump's tariff announcements are expected on Wednesday, April 2, which he is calling "Liberation Day." Though details of his plan remain unclear, the president has said the tariffs are intended to strengthen the U.S. economy and bolster <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44592073/tariffs-could-shake-building-industry-homebuilders-plumbing-flooring-face-rising-costs">American manufacturing. </a>
What To Know: Trump has predicted tariffs on goods coming into the U.S. will lead to investments in domestic manufacturing and companies reshoring their supply chains. Here's a look at some companies that could benefit from large-scale reshoring efforts.

Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>) is the world's largest manufacturer of construction equipment and could benefit from a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/43693234/will-the-tariff-bump-lead-to-a-steel-trap">construction boom</a> if more companies build factories and facilities in the U.S. 
CEO Jim Umpleby highlighted Caterpillar's position in the face of tariffs on the company's earnings call in January.&nbsp;
"We are a global manufacturer, but our largest manufacturing presence is in the U.S., and we are a net exporter outside of the U.S. and that positions us pretty well versus many other companies out there," said Umpleby. 
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) is a pure-play industrial automation company that could see an increase in demand for its factory floor-level devices, such as motors, drives, sensors and relays if large-scale industrial reshoring occurs. 
Rockwell CEO Blake Moret expressed confidence Rockwell is in a strong position to minimize the impact of the tariffs in prepared remarks released with the company's most recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43588368/rockwell-automation-reports-first-quarter-2025-results">earnings report</a>.  
"Undoubtedly, there will be near-term disruptions and volatility in the global supply chain, both for us and our customers, but we continue to believe Rockwell is a net beneficiary of policies that increase U.S. manufacturing," said Moret. 
"Nobody is better positioned than Rockwell to help American manufacturers create the future of industrial operations,&#8221; Moret added.
More Stocks To Watch: Eaton Corporation PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) is an aerospace systems provider and data center technology innovator, which positions the company to capitalize on both tariff-related industrial modernization and the AI revolution's escalating power needs.
Fastenal Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAST#NASDAQ">FAST</a>) distributes construction, industrial and safety supplies and could see a pop if companies begin to reshore manufacturing and industrial supply chains as Trump's tariffs go into effect.

Rockwell Automation's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.84% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.81 million shares sold short, which is 2.84% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.78 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Rockwell Automation has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Rockwell Automation's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Rockwell Automation's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.34%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
