EU Clears Dana's $5.1B Buy of Eaton Mobility Unit
ETN sits 38% above its 52-week low of $311.915.
Summary
EU regulators approved Dana Inc's $5.1 billion acquisition of Eaton's Mobility Group, clearing a key hurdle for the deal announced earlier this year. The approval follows Eaton's July 425 filing detailing the planned spin-off and merger of the unit with Dana. The deal was cleared in a simplified procedure, with the competition watchdog saying it would not raise concerns in the EU. This removes antitrust uncertainty and moves the transaction toward closing, allowing Eaton to sharpen its focus on high-growth electrical and data center businesses. The $5.1 billion price tag is now confirmed by the EU decision, providing clarity on the deal's scale. Completion remains subject to other customary conditions, but the EU green light is a major step forward.
