Eaton Corp. has garnered attention for its strong performance in the electrical segment, particularly related to data centers, with substantial growth metrics reported. Experts noted a significant hike in the company's data center business by 45%, with a pipeline increase of 65%, indicating robust future prospects. However, concerns have arisen regarding its current valuation, with many suggesting that it's trading at a stretched price-to-earnings ratio of around 33x relative to anticipated growth rates. Some experts have trimmed their positions while considering re-entry at more favorable valuations, highlighting the stock's erratic trading history. Overall, while there is optimism about Eaton's growth trajectory, experts are cautious given its current valuation levels.

BUY

Exciting. Electrical segment key to data centres. Concerns that whole industry may have jumped the gun, and that technology will be obsolete by the time centres are up and running. He's encouraged by its low valuation.

WATCH

He did well owning this, but sold around 33x PE, too rich. It went higher on momentum, but has sold hard lately. He's looking at it now. A very good company in data centre expansion. Lots of growth, but would buy at a lower PE.

BUY

She trimmed GE Vernoa to buy more Eaton and Quanta Services, and both just reported blow-out quarters. Quanta: EBITDA +40%, backlog +14%. Eaton: data centres +45%, pipeline +65%, and backlog 3x more than normal. Good valuations.

WAIT

Can benefit from electrification and selling transmitters and generators. Pulled back, but still not cheap; if that continues, might be worth dipping your toe in.

DON'T BUY

Sometimes a report doesn't meet expectations, despite being a good quarter. This happened to Eaton.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He added shares during Monday's sharp sell-off. They report Friday. It's a fine, long-term story

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 24/23, Up 60%)

Electrical components are driving the business. Has done very well. The hype is from the electrical side and AI/data centres. Sold it. Feels it is stretched on the valuation side. Trading at 33x earnings. Expectations for next year and the following year are in the 10% range. Not enough growth versus current price. 

BUY

Sells things needed to build power capacity. Future is very good, especially with infrastructure spends around the power grid. Continues to grow double digits.

BUY

She bought more. They have 30% market share in their electrical business, which holds exciting growth. So many drivers: utilities needing upgrading, onshoring of supply chains, data centres.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 11/23, Up 34%)

Will continue to own. Electrical components demand demand will remain strong. Ability to generate profits also very strong. Re-shoring of manufacturing will continue, and will also generate profits. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Great stock, but trades erratically. Would recommend buying on weakness. 

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Electrification equipment. Has done tremendously well. Has become quite expensive. Look at on pullbacks.

SELL
Further EPS growth?

Recently sold on price exhaustion. Outgrew growth of earnings. Yes, sees continued growth of earnings, but the stock price more than compensated him for that growth. This is where valuation is so terribly important in your analysis.

BUY

Just bought it, because they're increasing their backlog a lot as orders rose from 2-7% in the last quarter. Are benefitting from the electrical side and power quality plus they have aviation/aerospace exposure, industrial areas she loves. She just started with a partial position.

WEAK BUY

Done very well. Trades at 26x earnings, growing in low teens for both EPS and cashflow. Expects just north of $10 EPS for fiscal 2024. Likes it, but getting to the high side. He'd still buy, but if it grew another 5-10%, he'd look to exit.
