<p><strong>Eaton Corporation PLC </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) shares were rising in early trading on Monday after the company announced on Friday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45169667/eatons-q1-organic-sales-surge-9-on-high-demand-boosts-fy25-guidance">upbeat first-quarter results</a>.</p>
<p>The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>RBC Capital Markets On</strong> <strong>Eaton</strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/584847d9ee7bf6000154d223/deane-dray">Analyst </a><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/584847d9ee7bf6000154d223/deane-dray">Deane Dray</a> </strong>maintained an Outperform rating, while raising the price target from $336 to $356.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Goldman Sachs On Eaton</strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/joe-ritchie">Analyst<strong> Joe Ritchie</strong></a> reiterated a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $336 to $345.</p>
<p>Eaton reported adjusted earnings of $2.72 per share, with 9% organic growth, Ritchie said. The company introduced its earnings guidance for the second quarter of $2.85 to $2.95, he added.</p>
<p>Management affirmed its 2025 adjusted earnings guidance of $11.80 to $12.20 per share, the analyst stated. Although the company "did not quantify the gross tariff impact (we estimate ~$100mn) but we have confidence in ETN's ability to offset given the strong demand environment," he further wrote.</p>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Oppenheimer On Eaton</strong></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/590b5cc4290fa700017b6a59/christopher-glynn">Analyst<strong> Christopher Glynn</strong></a> reaffirmed a Perform rating on the stock.</p>
<p>Eaton won a "very large multi-year" data center order, Glynn said. Electrical America's negotiation pipeline grew by 18% sequentially and by 168% over two years, he added.</p>
<p>Management raised its 2025 organic sales growth guidance from 7%-9% year-on-year to 7.5%-9.5%, the analyst stated. He raises the earnings estimate for 2025 and 2026 from $11.95 per share to $12 per share and from $13.25 per share to $13.45 per share, respectively, "reflecting sustained data center pacing."</p>
