Read MoreHide Full Article

Eaton Corporation (ETN - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2022 earnings on Nov 1, before the opening bell. The power management company delivered an earnings surprise of 1.44% in the trailing four quarters on average.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Note

Eaton’s third-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from lower shares outstanding than the year-ago level. The ongoing improvement in end-market conditions and organic sales growth are expected to have boosted earnings in the third quarter.

Acquisitions and divestitures, and negative currency translation are likely to have weighed on Eaton’s third-quarter earnings. An increase in corporate expenses is likely to offset some positives in the third quarter.

Expectations

Eaton expects third-quarter earnings of $1.95-$2.05 per share. It anticipates organic revenue growth of 13-15%. The segmental operating margin is expected to be 20.6-21% for the quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.01 per share, indicating an improvement of 14.9% from the prior-year reported figure.
