Analysis · ETN · Technology
A standout quarter saw sales jump 21% to $8.53 billion and adjusted EPS reach $3.15, both comfortably ahead of consensus. Organic growth accelerated to 14%, fueled by broad-based strength across data centers, utilities, and aerospace. Reflecting this momentum, management raised its full-year outlook: organic growth is now seen at 11-13%, with adjusted EPS of $13.40-$13.60 — a 12% increase at the midpoint. Order and backlog trends remain exceptional. On a rolling 12-month basis, Electrical Americas orders surged 41%, pushing backlog up 33%, while Electrical Global backlog more than doubled. The planned Mobility spin-off, which will sharpen the portfolio's focus on higher-growth, higher-margin businesses, further cements Eaton's position as a prime beneficiary of electrification and digitalization megatrends.
