Most of Eaton’s sales are outside AI, making the business more stable than its share price suggests. The stock appears fully valued, so I am holding my position and not adding.

Where I differ from the market

Market thinks: Eaton is an AI data center stock, and it trades in line with other AI power companies.
I think: Most of Eaton’s sales are outside AI, making the business more stable than its share price suggests. The stock appears fully valued, so I am holding my position and not adding.
Right when: Utility and aerospace orders continue to grow while data center growth slows.
Wrong if: Non-AI orders decline, or the valuation multiple remains at AI levels while growth slows.
