Eaton - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts.

Eaton
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Eaton Co. plc for these reasons:

Some analysts have reduced their price targets for Eaton, with Barclays lowering it from $353.00 to $325.00, which may indicate concerns about future growth prospects.
The company's dividend payout ratio stands at 43.79%, which, while sustainable, suggests that a significant portion of earnings is being distributed as dividends rather than reinvested in growth opportunities.
Wells Fargo recently downgraded their rating on Eaton, reducing their price target from $335.00 to $305.00, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term performance.
Market volatility and economic uncertainties could impact Eaton's performance, especially in the industrial sector, which is sensitive to economic cycles.
Insider selling, such as the recent sale of 10,000 shares by a director, may raise concerns about the company's future outlook from those closest to its operations.
