Eaton makes the electrical gear that powers buildings, factories, and data centers, plus hydraulics and drivetrains for planes and trucks. Think of it as the plumbing for electricity.
Eaton's money comes from selling electrical equipment and services, with gross margins around 36% and net margins near 14% in 2025. It's a mix of one-off product sales and recurring service contracts.
