Enclosed are the presentation slides. The punchline: ETN is a triple threat, there’s~30% potential upside over the NTM, and out to 2030, it’s a double.

Excluding secularend markets, the non-resi sector has been in recession since ‘23 and at its core, ETN is anon resi stock (1/3 of sales are tied to it). Money supply is expanding and we’re entering theera of fiscal dominance (tax reform/bonus depreciation to drive non-resi spend) and thisshould benefit ETN. Also, Electrical America’s EBIT margins are poised to accelerate, goingfrom 26% in 1Q26, to ~32% by 4Q26E, driven by pricing and better capacity absorption.This sets up a strong exit rate into ‘27 where street is only modeling 30% margins.2)Structural winner of the electrical infrastructure build-out.The procurement processis becoming more complex as electricity demand accelerates, power density increases andprojects get bigger. This is pushing customers to buy more turn-key systems and fewer singleproducts, which increases ETN’s wallet share and win rate.3) Under-appreciated portfoliotransformation story. In the last year, ETN spent $12B on acquisitions mainly focused onbuilding out its data center product suite and it’s spinning-off its mobility business in 1Q27.These change increase exposure to more attractive end markets (electrical, secular, datacenter), reduce cyclicality and are growth/margin accretive (click here for deep dive). The market underestimates the EPS algo and re-rate potential of the “new” ETN.Preportfolio changes, mgmt guided to 12% 2025-30 EPS CAGR, but we think an 18% CAGR(+10% organic + 5% from portfolio changes, +3% buybacks) is more realistic. For electricalinfrastructure stocks, every 1% in revenue CAGR yields 3x of P/E and we’re 150bps ahead ofthe street, which means ETN RemianCo should trade at 31x, not 26x. Flow this into our SOTPframework and we see ~30% upside over the NTM, but out to 2030, ETN may double. Investment Implications We maintain our Outperform rating and Price Target of $534 DETAILSU.S. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ETN is a triple threat, there’s ~30% potential upside over the NTM, and out to 2030, it’s a double.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY Eaton Corp PLC We arrive at our $534 price target by applying a 27x P/E multiple on our 2030 EPS estimate. Discounting this back, we arriveat our target price which implies a 33x P/E on our 2027 EPS. We believe this is appropriate given the long-term secular factorsfavoring the strength and long-term resilience of ETN’s earnings algorithm. RISKS Eaton Corp PLC Downside risks include: 1) lower than expected load growth impacting ETN’s Electrical organic growth business, 2) interruptionsto the ongoing global data center build, 3) slower than expected utility capex growth, 4) slower than expected reshoring trends,and 5) slower than expected growth/cancellations in mega projects.
