Eaton Corp (NYSE:ETN) Stock, Rapport sur les intérêts à découvert

Eaton Corp

Founded in 1911 by Joseph Eaton, the eponymous company began by selling truck axles in New Jersey. Eaton has since become an industrial powerhouse largely through acquisitions in various end markets. Eaton's portfolio can broadly be divided into two parts: its electrical and industrial businesses. Its electrical portfolio (representing around 70% of company revenue) sells components within data centers, utilities, and commercial and residential buildings, while its industrial business (30% of revenue) sells components within commercial and passenger vehicles and aircraft. Eaton receives favorable tax treatment as a domiciliary of Ireland, but it generates over half of its revenue within the US.

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street reeled this week as President Donald Trump's new global tariffs and hawkish Fed signals rattled investors. The tariffs triggered broad selloffs, dragging the S&amp;P 500 to its worst weekly loss since the pandemic's onset in 2020.
Stocks tumbled Thursday and Friday, with tech and consumer names especially hard-hit, as traders braced for higher costs and retaliatory trade risks. Concerns mounted over how renewed trade tensions could disrupt supply chains and weigh on corporate margins.
At the same time, Federal Reserve officials signaled fewer rate cuts ahead, compounding fears and sending bond yields higher, further pressuring equities across sectors.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Shares of companies within the broader industrial sector are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

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.

Eaton receives favorable tax treatment as a domiciliary of Ireland, but it generates over half of its revenue within the US.

Behind the Scenes of Eaton Corp's Latest Options Trends

Eaton Corp shares are trading lower after Barclays cut its price target on the stock from $325 to $215.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">The AI gold rush</a> is in full swing, but the real winners may not be the chipmakers themselves but the infrastructure players powering the next-gen data centers.
JPMorgan analyst C. Stephen Tusa, Jr. has doubled down on his bullish stance for Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRT#NYSE">VRT</a>) and Eaton Corporation PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>), emphasizing that the data center buildout is not just in its early innings &#8211; it hasn't even taken the field yet.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overcapacity? Not So Fast</h2>
Investors have been debating whether the AI-driven data center boom is peaking, with concerns of overcapacity bubbling up. But Tusa's latest take from a recent data center conference suggests the opposite: demand is still in its infancy. With AI factories layering onto core cloud demand, data center power consumption estimates continue to soar and near-term constraints in physical buildout mean supply is nowhere near catching up.

Blackwell-related shipments may be ramping, but the next-gen Rubin architecture isn't even on the field yet. This is causing companies to pause and strategize—not because of weakening demand but because the stakes are getting higher.
The result? Long-term visibility for infrastructure suppliers like Vertiv and Eaton. These are positioned to benefit from the evolving complexity of high-density cooling, power management, and modular data center solutions, says Tusa.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Follow The Money: Capital Keeps Pouring In</h2>
While some fear a speculative bubble, industry financing tells a different story. Tusa said traditional investors are now classifying data centers as core infrastructure assets, with project financing volumes expected to hit $60 billion in 2025 &#8211; double this year's levels.
Private equity is jumping in, and even securitization is becoming a factor. The real challenge? A shortage of available data center space, not an oversupply. 
In fact, one financier noted that securing even 100 MWs of capacity is a headache &#8211; let alone 1 GW.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vertiv And Eaton: The Real AI Picks And Shovels?</h2>
With lead times for critical data center components like transformers and liquid cooling solutions still stretched, Vertiv and Eaton are emerging as clear winners for Tusa. 
Vertiv, in particular, is capitalizing on its differentiated portfolio, with long-term commitments from hyperscalers and a sold-out order book for the next 18 months. 
Meanwhile, Eaton's power management solutions remain integral to handling the ever-growing energy demands of AI workloads.
The takeaway? While the hype cycle surrounding AI may ebb and flow, the infrastructure needed to support it is only just getting started. 
As demand intensifies and supply struggles to keep up, names like Vertiv and Eaton could remain firmly in the driver's seat.

Eaton expects 350-450bps margin expansion by 2030 (~28% segment margins), driven mainly by Electrical Global and Aerospace. The guidance appears reasonable with potential upside, per the analyst.
The analyst estimates organic growth to accelerate on the margin from 2025 in 2026/2027, and decelerate in the outer years of the company&#8217;s target.
The analyst witnessed investor pushback that the implied returns from Eaton&#8217;s &gt;$1.5 billion in capacity additions are &#8216;too high.&#8217;
Meanwhile, Obin&#8217;s discussions with the company at the event suggest that the strong returns on incremental investments align with Eaton&#8217;s established framework.
The analyst raised estimates for 2026/2027 EPS to $13.43 (from $13.20) and $15.09 (from $14.35).
Price Action: ETN shares are up 2.00% at $299.49 at the last check Monday.

<h3>Eaton Corp P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Eaton Corp has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 54.04 of the Electrical Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<h3>About Eaton Corp</h3>
Founded in 1911 by Joseph Eaton, the eponymous company began by selling truck axles in New Jersey. Eaton has since become an industrial powerhouse largely through acquisitions in various end markets. Eaton's portfolio can broadly be divided into two parts: its electrical and industrial businesses. Its electrical portfolio (representing around 70% of company revenue) sells components within data centers, utilities, and commercial and residential buildings, while its industrial business (30% of revenue) sells components within commercial and passenger vehicles and aircraft. Eaton receives favorable tax treatment as a domiciliary of Ireland, but it generates over half of its revenue within the US.
