Eaton (ETN) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Zacks Equity Research
·3 min read

Eaton Corporation ETN is scheduled to release third-quarter 2020 earnings on Nov 3, before market open. This power management company delivered an earnings surprise of 34.6% in the last reported quarter.

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

Factors at Play

Eaton implemented cost-management measures, which are likely to have provided it some relief amid tepid demand due to weakness in end-markets served caused by the novel coronavirus outbreak. Lower shares outstanding are likely to have had a positive impact on the bottom line.

Expectation

Due to weakness in end-market conditions, its organic revenues are expected to be down in the range of 13-17% for the third quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line for the third quarter is pegged at $1.05 per share, indicating a 30.9% decline from the prior-year reported figure.
