Company Report

Wide-Moat Eaton Is Poised to Benefit From Multiple Secular Trends

Eaton manufactures mission-critical, highly engineered components designed to solve customer pain points in vital areas of the world’s infrastructure. A substantial portion of Eaton’s products are installed into customer operations and must be serviced or replaced at set intervals, which tends to carry higher margins than the sale of the equipment itself. Eaton boasts one of the largest global installed bases of electrical equipment, and trends such as rising regulatory standards for safety and efficiency, reshoring of supply chains within the US, and the explosion in data generation and energy consumption are fueling its growth.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Eaton’s recent portfolio changes should create value for shareholders and transform its returns on invested capital from around 10% to the mid to upper teens.

Bears

Eaton has a worse return profile than peers and deserves to trade at a discount. It lacks a true serviceable base of equipment, which hampers its ability to generate superior returns.

Company Profile

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.
