BULLISH71
Eaton: Electrical infrastructure + power distribution + switchgear. Stock +0.53% resilient. $359 price reflects stable 18x earnings. Datacenter electrical infrastructure: UPS systems, PDU distribution, power monitoring—high-margin recurring. IRA-backed grid modernization drives 10-12% earnings growth. DC electrical systems for datacenters represent 15% of revenue, growing 20%+ annually. Transformer allocation headwinds offset by high-voltage distribution market share gains.
Catalysts
