Eaton (IE00B8KQN827) was trading at EUR 382.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026, up 1.00 percent from EUR 379.00. The company had agreed on September 25, 2026 to acquire COL Group for an enterprise value of EUR 810.00 million, according to FinanzNachrichten.

Acquisition strengthens European capacity

COL Group supplies medium-voltage electrical distribution systems, grid automation technologies and modular power systems. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals, and COL Group has forecast 2027 sales of EUR 250.00 million, the release said.

The deal adds a concrete European manufacturing and engineering platform to Eaton's data-center and utility strategy. Its scale is material but remains smaller than Eaton's USD 8.53 billion second-quarter 2026 revenue.

Three milestones shaped the year

Eaton reported USD 7.45 billion of revenue for the first quarter of 2026 on May 5, 2026, according to TickerScout. On July 31, 2026, second-quarter revenue reached USD 8.53 billion, up 21.40 percent year over year, while adjusted earnings per share came in at USD 3.15 versus USD 3.08 consensus, according to MarketBeat. The September 25, 2026 COL Group agreement was the latest of these three milestones.

What does the growth mean for margins?

At Morgan Stanley's conference on September 16, 2026, Eaton said it had raised its 2026 organic-growth outlook from 8.00 percent to 12.00 percent. Data-center orders were up 85.00 percent year over year and data-center revenue increased 65.00 percent, according to Investing.com. That combination gives Eaton a growth engine, while the COL transaction broadens its European execution base.

Upcoming dates and the stock

Eaton's next earnings date is November 3, 2026, according to Gekko. The COL Group transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, according to FinanzNachrichten.
