Eaton Corp (NYSE:ETN) 주식

Eaton Corp

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.

Shares of companies in the broader industrial sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness on US consumer and economic concerns.

Eaton Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.98% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.73 million shares sold short, which is 1.2% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Eaton Corp has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Eaton Corp's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Eaton Corp's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.81%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Eaton Corp Unusual Options Activity For February 13

The latest round of tariffs on metal imports, announced by the Trump administration, is set to create significant investment opportunities in ETFs <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43587918/donald-trumps-expected-tariffs-on-aluminum-steel-imports-may-impact-domestic-companies-heres-a-list-of-metal-etfs-that-could-be-affected">focused on U.S. steelmakers. </a>
With a 25% tariff now set to be imposed on all steel and aluminum imports, domestic steel producers are expected to gain market share and see rising profitability. A KeyBanc Capital Markets report shows how these tariffs could reshape the steel market, reducing finished steel imports by 14% year-over-year in 2025, primarily impacting sheet and plate steel. 
Analysts anticipate U.S. steel mills capturing market share previously held by foreign competitors, reinforcing the bullish outlook for U.S. steel companies-focused ETFs.
Three <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">standout ETFs</a> are VanEck Steel ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLX#NYSE">SLX</a>), SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>), and Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAVE#BATS">PAVE</a>).
VanEck Steel ETF 
This is a direct play on the steel sector, offering concentrated exposure to leading steel manufacturers. With holdings in Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>), Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>), and United States Steel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>), the fund is well-positioned to benefit from higher domestic steel prices.
The new tariffs are expected to curb foreign steel imports, which accounted for a substantial share of the U.S. market. This will increase demand for domestically produced steel, boosting revenue for companies within SLX&#8217;s portfolio.
As steel prices rise, profit margins for U.S. steel producers will expand, which might be a boost for stock valuations.

SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF
XME provides broader exposure to the metals and mining sector but is still heavily weighted toward steel stocks like Steel Dynamics, Nucor and United States Steel Corp.
The tariff-induced price hikes on imported steel will force industries relying on metal, such as construction, automotive, and energy, to turn to U.S.-based suppliers. Steel Dynamics, Cleveland-Cliffs, and Nucor stand to gain from increased domestic sales, while higher scrap prices further support pricing power.
Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF
PAVE is a more diversified play, offering exposure to the broader infrastructure sector, which is a major consumer of steel. Infrastructure companies like Trane Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TT#NYSE">TT</a>) and Eaton Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>) are part of the ETF&#8217;s portfolio.
With increased steel demand for construction projects and infrastructure spending, U.S. steel producers will see long-term growth.
Supply And Demand Shift
KeyBanc projects U.S. real carbon steel demand to grow by around 2% in 2025 (compared to a 1-2% decline in 2024), supported by rebounds in oil &amp; gas, industrial, and construction sectors. Moreover, Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) prices are expected to rise from $750 per ton to $810 per ton in 2025, buoyed by tariff-driven demand shifts and rising scrap prices.
KeyBanc analysts also upgraded Steel Dynamics to Overweight, citing improved operational efficiencies and pricing tailwinds.
The Trump administration's aggressive trade stance is designed to protect U.S. steelmakers from cheap foreign imports. KeyBanc said that analysts anticipate a boost in domestic steel production, with sector utilization rising to 78% in 2025.
Earnings Growth for Steel Stocks
Steel Dynamics: KeyBanc raised the estimated 2025 EBITDA to $2.57 billion from $2.13 billion, driven by higher utilization and rising steel prices.
Cleveland-Cliffs: The research firm raised EBITDA expectation to $1.034 billion amid improved demand for U.S.-made steel.
Nucor: Holding a Sector Weight rating, NUE's diversified steel operations make it a stable long-term play.
Parting Thoughts
The tariffs are set to create a favorable market for domestic steelmakers, and ETFs with significant exposure to U.S. steel stocks stand to gain. With KeyBanc's bullish outlook on steel demand and pricing, the ETFs discussed in this piece could see substantial upside in the months ahead.

Notably, Hurricane Helene and labor strikes in the aerospace industry negatively impacted sales by about $80 million.

We&#8217;re confident in that continued momentum into 2025 as Eaton is in a unique position to deliver differentiated performance amid powerful megatrends driving higher growth in our markets.&#8221;
Guidance: For 2025, Eaton projects organic growth of 7% &#8211; 9% and adjusted EPS<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> of $11.80 &#8211; $12.20 vs. $12.00 consensus estimate</a>.
For the first quarter, the company expects organic growth of 5.5% &#8211; 7.5% and adjusted EPS of $2.65 &#8211; $2.75, compared to the street view of $2.70.
Goldman Sachs analyst Joe Ritchie sees this as an inline <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ETN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter report</a>.
However, with strong order performance and backlog, along with recent share weakness from DeepSeek news, the analyst anticipates that the stock will outperform today.
Price Action: ETN shares are down 0.71% at $324.79 at the last check Friday.

DeepSeek&#8217;s inference costs ($/million tokens) are approximately 70-90% lower than those of other AI models. The critical factor to monitor will be the capital expenditure plans of cloud service providers for 2025-2026, noted the analyst.
The technical report states that V3 utilized just 2.8 million GPU hours. At a rental rate of $2 per hour, this would total $5.6 million, per the analyst.
However, the analyst opined that DeepSeek-V3 was &#8220;distilled&#8221; using the previously launched DeepSeek-R1 model. Some media reports suggest that DeepSeek may have also used other open-source models, such as Meta Platforms Llama, implying that the actual training cost could be significantly higher than reported.
Venture capital investor Marc Andreessen referred to DeepSeek-R1 as a &#8220;Sputnik moment&#8221; for AI progress. However, the analyst interprets the Sputnik comparison as favorable for AI infrastructure companies.
Following the launch of Sputnik (October 4, 1957), the U.S. Federal space R&amp;D budget grew significantly, from $0.5 billion annually to over $10.5 billion in 1958.
When a new technology boosts efficiency, it typically reduces demand. However, it often leads to increased consumption, a phenomenon known as Jevons Paradox.
A similar situation occurred in U.S. steel production after the Bessemer process was introduced: between 1875 and 1900, steel prices dropped by around 90%, while production surged from 0.4 million tons per year to 60 million tons per year.
The analyst notes this will apply to the AI sector as well. Reduced training costs accelerate model improvements, and enhanced models create more use cases, resulting in greater inference demand.
For instance, the cost of GPT-4 output tokens has dropped by approximately 80% in under a year since its launch.
Cloud service providers are still experiencing growth in non-AI revenue, with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure non-AI revenue rising by 22% year-over-year in the quarter ended September.
Colocation companies, which make up about 50% of global data centers, continue to benefit from favorable market conditions, concluded the analyst.
