ROK - The 10 Biggest Robotics Stocks
If you've already looked at how and why to invest in robotics stocks, now might be a good time to turn your attention toward learning more about the biggest robotics stocks in the marketplace. Their size is a good indication that investors are interested in buying into what they have to offer. Let's take a look at them.
In detailing the largest 10 robotics stock choices, some ideas quickly become apparent. For instance, buying into the mainstream robotics automation stocks usually means taking on specific geographic and industry exposures, namely the automotive and consumer electronics industries as well as a heavy exposure to Asia/China. That's fine if you want it, but you will have to think outside the box in order to avoid it. The list of robotics stocks in this article is intended to help with that.
The list contains a mix of pure-play robotics companies and automation companies, but in reality, robotics is just a subset of factory automation. That makes some sense when you factor in that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines a robot as "an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which can be fixed in place or mobile in industrial automation applications."
