Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Eaton posted record Q1 2026 revenue of $7.5B with record segment profit of $1.7B and margins of 22.7%, though adjusted EPS of $2.81 was up just modestly as capacity expansion costs weighed on near-term profitability. Orders surged with data center demand acceleration, and free cash flow was up 245% versus the prior year. Management raised organic growth guidance by 200 basis points to a 10% midpoint and lifted EPS to $13.28, reflecting unprecedented demand across the electrical portfolio.
