Eaton Breaks Records, Again

Eaton is an intelligent power management company that provides products for the data center, utility, industrial, commercial, machine building, residential, aerospace, and mobility markets. Shares have been a big beneficiary of the AI frenzy thanks to the data center exposure.

Accelerating orders and continued backlog growth contributed to its recent record-breaking quarter, with adjusted EPS of $3.33 reflecting a record alongside all-time high quarterly sales of $7.1 billion that grew 13% year-over-year.

The record-breaking print didn’t stop there, with free cash flow of $1.6 billion and segment margins of 24.9% also reaching all-time highs for the company.
