- Eaton reported record third-quarter sales, adjusted earnings and segment margins for the period ended September 30.
- Management raised its 2026 organic-growth and adjusted-earnings outlook after strong orders and expanding backlogs.
- The planned COL Group acquisition would broaden Eaton's European power-distribution capabilities and manufacturing footprint.
Eaton reported record third-quarter results on November 3, 2026, and raised its full-year outlook again as demand across its electrical businesses remained strong. The company's release said sales rose 28 percent year over year to a record 8.9 billion US dollars for the quarter ended September 30.
According to Eaton's third-quarter results release, organic sales growth reached 19 percent, while acquisitions contributed 8 percentage points and foreign exchange added 1 percentage point. Adjusted earnings per share reached a record 3.68 US dollars, compared with reported diluted earnings per share of 2.77 US dollars.
Higher guidance raises expectations
Segment margin reached a record 25.3 percent, above the high end of the previous range. Eaton now expects full-year 2026 organic growth of 13 to 15 percent, up from 11 to 13 percent previously, with segment margins of 24.1 to 24.5 percent and adjusted earnings per share of 13.70 to 13.80 US dollars.
For the fourth quarter, management expects organic growth of 13 to 15 percent, segment margins of 25.4 to 25.8 percent and adjusted earnings per share of 4.05 to 4.15 US dollars. The stronger targets increase the importance of capacity expansion, execution and the conversion of the order backlog at the next results update.
European capacity expands
Eaton also agreed to acquire Italy-based COL Group for 810 million euros. The medium-voltage electrical-distribution supplier adds manufacturing capacity and technologies for data-center and utility customers in Europe. Completion is expected in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.
