Eaton Corporation plc (ETN - Free Report) , a diversified power management firm, is best known for its electrical components, systems and services. This Dublin, Ireland-based company has presence across the globe.
Eaton’s continuous focus on strategic acquisitions and debt reduction initiatives backed by stable cash generating capacity, geographically-diversified operations, and systematic investments in research and development activities to launch new products will likely boost its future performance.
However, owing to the nature of this industry, Eaton’s operation depends on numerous suppliers of raw materials. Any shortage of raw materials, price increase or supplier’s insolvencies can increase the company’s operating costs.

Coming to the earnings surprise, Eaton Corporation has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two out of the last four quarters, resulting in a positive average surprise of 2.97%.
