Eaton (ETN) To Report Q3 Earnings: What's In The Offing?

 | Oct 22, 2019 08:10AM ET

Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2019 earnings on Oct 29, 2019, before the market opens. This power management company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 0.66% in the last reported quarter.

Notably, it delivered average positive earnings surprise of 0.72% in the last four quarters.

Factors to Consider

Eaton expects third-quarter earnings per share in the range of $1.50-$1.60. The company bought back shares worth $440 million during first-half 2019 and the ongoing buyback of shares is likely to have had a positive impact on third-quarter earnings.

Improvement in end-market conditions is likely to have boosted third-quarter organic revenues. During the quarter, it formed a partnership with technology company KPIT, which aided its eMobility segment.

However, negative currency translation is expected to have offset some of the gains from these positive developments.
