BofA warns Fed risks policy mistake with early rate cuts
Investing.com - Rothschild Redburn initiated coverage on Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $336.00 on Wednesday. According to InvestingPro data, Eaton currently trades at a P/E ratio of 34.9x and has achieved a strong return over the last five years, though current analysis suggests the stock is trading above its Fair Value.
The research firm noted that Eaton’s strategic portfolio repositioning since 2011, with its focus on power management, has favorably positioned the company to benefit from several major trends including electrification, energy efficiency, reindustrialization, and AI-driven data center investment. As a prominent player in the Electrical Equipment industry, Eaton maintains solid financials with an "GOOD" overall health score on InvestingPro, operating with moderate debt levels and strong cash flows.
Despite these positive factors, Rothschild Redburn believes that a significant revaluation of Eaton’s stock since the beginning of the decade has already sufficiently accounted for projected growth.
The firm forecasts Eaton will achieve revenue compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 10% and earnings per share (EPS) CAGR of 14% for the fiscal years 2024 through 2029.
Based on this outlook and current valuation levels, Rothschild Redburn established its initial 12-month price target of $336 for Eaton shares, along with the Neutral rating.
In other recent news, Eaton Corporation announced its Q2 2025 financial results, reporting earnings that exceeded analyst expectations. The company achieved an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.95, slightly surpassing the projected $2.93. Eaton’s revenue also reached a record $7.03 billion, outperforming the anticipated $6.91 billion. Despite these positive results, Eaton’s stock experienced a decline in pre-market trading. The company has raised its full-year EPS guidance, indicating a positive outlook for future growth. These developments reflect Eaton’s strong performance and strategic confidence moving forward.
