RBC Capital Markets On Eaton

Analyst Deane Dray maintained an Outperform rating, while raising the price target from $336 to $356.

Eaton generated organic growth of 9%, ahead of consensus of 6%, Dray said in a note. The beat was driven by electrical, data center, utility and aerospace, "with strong orders, backlog growth, and active negotiation pipeline," he added.

Management reaffirmed their full-year guidance, with better revenue projections offsetting a modest impact of tariffs on margins, the analyst stated. "Eaton's broad portfolio positioning in ongoing data center upcycle (17% of revenues), access to the next-gen architecture/design, modular solutions, and accretive acquisitions fuel the growth algorithm," he further wrote.
