Eaton Corp. (ETN-N) has garnered mixed reactions from experts regarding its performance and valuation. Many experts highlight the strong demand for electrical components driven by trends such as electrification, infrastructure spending, and the upgrading of utilities. The company has reported impressive financial metrics, including substantial backlog growth and revenue increases in data centers and electrical businesses. However, concerns about valuation persist, with some experts noting that the stock is trading at high earnings multiples, making it seem overvalued relative to expected future growth. Despite the anticipation of continued earnings growth, several analysts suggest waiting for potential pullbacks before committing further capital to the stock.

Consensus
Neutral
Valuation
Overvalued
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.

TOP PICK

Engineered parts for industrial applications. Current valuation very attractive to investors (~22 P/E). Growing steadily and consistently. Electrification business growing very strong. Excellent balance between growth and value. $2 Trillion from US government ear marked for development will help company. 

BUY

An earnings winner. Their data centres are building out to meet the growing adoption of gen-AI. The company has its fingerprints on anything that generates clean electricity.
