Adjusted earnings per share came in at $3.07, just ahead of the $3.05 consensus, while net sales of $6.99 billion trailed analyst forecasts by 1.30%, though they still represented a 10.1% year-over-year gain fueled by 7% organic growth and a 3% contribution from acquisitions. The standout driver was Electrical Americas, where sales climbed 15% to $3.41 billion with margins reaching 30.3%, as accelerating data center demand pushed the segment's rolling twelve-month order growth to 7% organically and lifted backlog 20% over the prior year. Eaton also announced a $9.50 billion agreement to acquire Boyd Thermal, targeting liquid cooling solutions for data centers and aerospace. Looking ahead, the company guided full-year 2025 adjusted EPS to a range of $11.97 to $12.17, with fourth-quarter adjusted EPS expected between $3.23 and $3.43 on organic growth of 10% to 12%.
Key Takeaways
- • Data center demand driving Electrical Americas order acceleration to 7% organic growth on rolling twelve-month basis
- • Strong Aerospace order growth of 11% organically on rolling twelve-month basis
- • Record segment margins of 25.0%, up 70 basis points year over year
- • Electrical sector backlog up 18% and Aerospace backlog up 15% year over year
- • Book-to-bill ratio of 1.1 for both Electrical sector and Aerospace segment on rolling twelve-month basis
- • 7% organic sales growth supplemented by 3% acquisition-related growth

“We continued to see strong demand in the quarter with order acceleration, as well as sustained growth in our backlog and positive book-to-bill ratio, driven primarily by our Electrical Americas and Aerospace businesses. While we continue to ramp-up significant capacity investment projects, we remain confident in our ability to deliver our commitments for the year and achieve our 2030 targets. Looking ahead, our strategy to lead, invest and execute for growth will continue to position us well to capitalize on the generational growth opportunities driven by digitalization and AI, reindustrialization, infrastructure spending and more.”
