Eaton Corp (NYSE:ETN) Azioni

Eaton Corp

Founded in 1911 by Joseph Eaton, the eponymous company began by selling truck axles in New Jersey. Eaton has since become an industrial powerhouse largely through acquisitions in various end markets. Eaton's portfolio can broadly be divided into two parts: its electrical and industrial businesses. Its electrical portfolio (representing around 70% of company revenue) sells components within data centers, utilities, and commercial and residential buildings, while its industrial business (30% of revenue) sells components within commercial and passenger vehicles and aircraft. Eaton receives favorable tax treatment as a domiciliary of Ireland, but it generates over half of its revenue within the US.

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

AI isn&#8217;t just consuming the world; it&#8217;s poised to devour the power grid. Big tech companies such as Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46471676/meta-palantir-amazon-ai-datacenter-growth">going all-in on artificial intelligence</a>, fueling a historic development of data center infrastructure. For ETF investors, that implies it&#8217;s time to move beyond Nvidia and begin focusing on the literal power behind the machine.
Goldman Sachs projects that global data center electricity demand will increase by 165% by 2030, making them among the world&#8217;s top 10 consumers of electricity. With capex cycles of $100 billion-plus underway, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">power generation-related ETFs</a>, infrastructure ETFs, and digital real estate ETFs are in play.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Power &amp; Utilities</h2>
With U.S. data-center electricity consumption set to surge, utility ETFs may enjoy long-term tailwinds.
Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) – owns large, regulated utilities such as NextEra (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>), which may benefit from AI-fueled load growth.
First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRID#NASDAQ">GRID</a>) – provides exposure to the firms upgrading the electrical grid, from smart meters to transmission technology. Johnson Controls International Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JCI#NYSE">JCI</a>), Eaton Corporation Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) and ABB Ltd (OTCPK: ABBNY) hold the largest chunks of the fund&#8217;s holdings.
Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) – becomes more relevant since Goldman projects 25–30% of new generation will be provided by solar.
These funds provide investors with a diversified holding in the enormous re-wiring that AI will require.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infrastructure &amp; Industrials</h2>
Behind each <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI cluster</a> lies a concrete-intensive reality: HVACs, substations, turbines, and a substantial amount of steel. Infrastructure-based ETFs provide a straight shot at the buildout:
Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAVE#BATS">PAVE</a>) – has holdings such as Eaton and Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), all related to power systems and data construction.
iShares U.S. Industrials ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYJ#BATS">IYJ</a>) – has holdings in Caterpillar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>), Eaton, and Emerson Electric (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMR#NYSE">EMR</a>), essential providers of backup power and cooling systems.
Meta alone intends to construct two multi-gigawatt clusters of AI, pointing to a multi-year infrastructure-driven growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digital Infrastructure &amp; REITs</h2>
As demand for data centers goes parabolic, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and digital infrastructure players are observing that narrowing supply-demand dynamics are propelling margins:
Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>) – more general exposure to REITs, with substantial stakes in digital infra. This ETF offers a long-term perspective on the physical and digital infrastructure supporting AI growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quick Background: Why Now?</h2>
Goldman Sachs estimates that global data center demand will reach 92 GW by 2027, a 50% increase from late 2025, largely due to AI. Meta&#8217;s future Prometheus (1 GW) and Hyperion (5 GW) clusters indicate the size of things to come. Amazon and Palantir are also spending significant amounts on compute infrastructure.
Meanwhile, firms such as Caterpillar and Cummins (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>) are experiencing billions of dollars&#8217; worth of new orders for data center-related generators, and Jabil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBL#NYSE">JBL</a>) has just increased its AI-related revenue estimate by $1 billion.

The deal, expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, will give Eaton access to Resilient's specialized solutions designed to modernize EV charging infrastructure and support power distribution in data centers and battery energy storage systems.

He emphasized that Eaton's global footprint and service capabilities will help bring the tech to scale while improving power reliability and cost efficiency.
The acquisition aligns with Eaton's strategy to capitalize on electrification and digitalization trends. Earlier this year, Eaton expanded its portfolio with the $1.55 billion Ultra PCS <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/45950593/eaton-expands-high-margin-defense-portfolio-through-ultra-pcs-deal-worth-1-55-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">deal</a>, further underlining its commitment to building next-generation power solutions.

An investor recently posed a simple but striking question in Reddit&#8217;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1ltmuuz/boring_stocks_with_techlike_returns/">r/stocks</a> forum: What are the &#8220;&#8216;boring&#8217; stocks with tech-like returns?&#8221;
&#8220;Everybody is chasing the next AI hype,&#8221; they said, mentioning companies like Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Rocket Lab&nbsp; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) and even semiconductors.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Are Digging Into Industrial, Insurance And Grocery Stocks</h2>
Plenty of Reddit users responded with names most mainstream investors overlook. These weren't meme stocks or hot IPOs, but legacy industrials, auto parts retailers, and HVAC firms.
&#8220;Before the most recent sell-off Berkshire was at 194% in 5 years,&#8221; one investor noted about Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)). &#8220;Sitting at 165% right now. Better than all the Mag 7 except Nvidia and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). Boring as hell and doing rock solid.&#8221;
Several mentioned Parker-Hannifin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>), which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/07/46255383/1000-invested-in-parker-hannifin-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">specializes in motion and control technologies</a>.

One user summed up the appeal by asking: &#8220;How many people on the planet took a sh&#x2A;t this morning, and/or turned on the heat or AC?&#8221; The message: boring businesses that keep infrastructure running are everywhere, and often profitable.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Another favorite was Comfort Systems USA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>), which installs HVAC systems. One investor called it &#8220;very well-performing&#8221; and compared it to IES Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IESC#NASDAQ">IESC</a>), which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/46009433/100-invested-in-ies-hldgs-10-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today">outperformed the market</a> over the past 10 years by 32.69% on an annualized basis, producing an average annual return of 43.61%.

&#8220;I inherited FIX which had done VERY well,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;But I sold it for very petty and personal reasons lol.&#8221;
Casey's General Stores (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CASY#NASDAQ">CASY</a>), a convenience store chain with more than 2,900 locations, was called out as a quiet outperformer.

Fair Isaac Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FICO#NYSE">FICO</a>), the company behind FICO credit scores, was another standout. It has soared 352% over the last five years.
AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>) and O&#8217;Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORLY#NASDAQ">ORLY</a>) also earned praise for delivering steady gains while operating in a no-glamour sector.

Dollarama, Canada's version of Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLTR#NASDAQ">DLTR</a>), has surged over 300% in the past five years. Nutrien, the world&#8217;s top potash supplier, is up 92% over that span.
Some mentioned European companies like Rheinmetall, a German <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/03/44235106/6-defense-stocks-to-watch-after-trump-halts-weapons-shipments-to-ukraine">defense stock</a> up 2,200% in five years. Others nodded to Fairfax Financial, a Canadian insurer with a 500% return in five years.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steady Can Still Win</h2>
While the tech crowd continues to ride waves of speculation, some long-term investors are betting on plumbing, autoparts, fertilizer, and insurance. As one investor in the thread put it, &#8220;Unless we have Armageddon tomorrow, yes, absolutely&#8221; these companies are still worth buying.

<h3>About Eaton Corp</h3>
Founded in 1911 by Joseph Eaton, the eponymous company began by selling truck axles in New Jersey. Eaton has since become an industrial powerhouse largely through acquisitions in various end markets. Eaton's portfolio can broadly be divided into two parts: its electrical and industrial businesses. Its electrical portfolio (representing around 70% of company revenue) sells components within data centers, utilities, and commercial and residential buildings, while its industrial business (30% of revenue) sells components within commercial and passenger vehicles and aircraft. Eaton receives favorable tax treatment as a domiciliary of Ireland, but it generates over half of its revenue within the US.

<h3>Evaluating Eaton Corp P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 41.88 in the Electrical Equipment industry, Eaton Corp Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 33.6. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750802419_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
