barrons3	CAT is like a bunch of companies, including Joy Global (JOYG) and Eaton (ETN) and United Technologies (UTX), that give people exposure to the obvious turning in the world's economy -- obvious to everyone except just about everyone on this site. The strength in Eaton alone shows you how much the market will embrace anything positive here. The reaction to a simple upgrade of Joy Global by RBS shows you the intensity of the animal spirits.

barrons3	Do you mind if I crow that a big industrial like Illinois Tool Works (ITW - commentary - Trade Now), which has repeatedly cut its outlook, raises it today, or that I expect similar reforecasts from Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust names Johnson Controls (JCI), Cooper Industries (CBE), Emerson (EMR) and Honeywell (HON), and perhaps from Parker Hannifen (PH) and Eaton (ETN) on the heels of the ITW news?

Stockpickr Staff	"Still trying to figure out the option effect vs. the Obama cram-down/Eaton Vance (ETN)/Bank of America (BAC)." (<a href="http://jimcramer.rmblogs.thestreet.com/entry.aspx?q=7efa00ea-230d-478f-b657-9bf10132e0b5" target="_blank">"Deciphering the Washout," April 20, 2009</a>)	Love	April 21, 2009
barrons3	On stocks of companies that have significantly lowered earnings guidance, buy defensive puts. This works for Texas Instruments (TXN), Ingersoll-Rand (IR), Eaton (ETN), International Paper (IP), National Semiconductor (NSM), Sandisk (SNDK), Illinois Tool Works (ITW), Massey Energy (MEE), Parker Hannifin (PH), Estée Lauder (EL), Time Warner (TWX), CSX (CSX) and Norfolk Southern (NSC).

barrons3	Some of the big industrials with China exposure -- Honeywell (HON), United Technologies (UTX), Eaton (ETN) -- are acting very well.	Love	February 18, 2009
grampies1	Best run company and honest.	Love	January 08, 2009
barrons3	Amid a bunch of them -- the semis last week, which I don't like but which moved up a tad and were therefore ripe for the picking in this new negative analyst world, as well as Eaton (ETN) today by Morgan Stanley -- are signs that the analyst community has been so burned in the recent past that they simply don't want to be recommending anything.	Love	December 26, 2008
barrons3	Think of it. Think of who has been killed here. Our steelmakers, as we have a commodity that is being priced badly for us. Our giant machinery companies like Caterpillar (CAT), Eaton (ETN) and Deere (DE). We need these to get hot, and a weak dollar will do it.	Love	December 18, 2008
barrons3	If I can get them at still-inflated yields, as I tried to get with Eaton (ETN) today before it ran, I am still on board.	Love	December 11, 2008

barrons3	Q: So this is a historic buying opportunity? A: Right. We are in the process of creating a bottom, most likely in the next 12 to 18 months. As for buying opportunities, they are not confined to small-caps. We've got the S&P at a multiple of about 11. There are some larger-cap industrials like an Eaton [ETN] and Parker Hannifin [PH] selling at six or seven multiples on current earnings. You could haircut earnings next year way beyond your imagination, say 30% to 40%, and you still have a single-digit multiple on the stocks.	Love	November 22, 2008
barrons3	It's Buffet’s new position in Eaton [ETN] that looks interesting to me, adds Guy Adami. But I wouldn’t trade alongside at current valuations.	Love	November 19, 2008
barrons3	Cramer thinks today’s rate cut could boost his thesis on dividend-paying stocks like Verizon [VZ], BB&T [BBT], Merck [MRK], Watsco [WSO], Eaton [ETN] and others. Thanks to the rate cut, those yields now pay out more than hiding in cash.	Love	October 30, 2008
barrons3	We hear about it on every call, from Eaton (ETN) to United Technologies (UTX) to Honeywell (HON).	Love	October 23, 2008
barrons3	After sliding from a high of $99 a share, Eaton has slid to $39 a share and sports a 5.1% dividend yield. That slide is just too far, too fast, said Cramer. The company now trades at where it did in 2003, but it is a completely different animal.	Love	October 23, 2008
barrons3	He mentioned Eaton(ETN), SPX(SPW) and Danaher(DHR) but said he doesn't think they're "there" yet. "Perhaps industrials represent some value," he said.	Love	October 16, 2008
barrons3	Eaton (ETN), $8 billion.	Love	October 09, 2008
barrons3	But it is the finance model, the GE finance model, that this really helps. It is worth pointing it out because, again, anything that takes the Great Depression off the table -- including the ability for finance companies to, well, finance -- is very important. That means Honeywell (HON), Eaton (ETN), Parker-Hannifin (PH), United Tech (UTX) all should be doing better here, as well as Caterpillar (CAT) and Deere (DE), which have an ability to issue.

barrons2	Buy - Price: $74.47 on July 15 by Sterne Agee While 2Q08 EPS initially proved unsettling, due a lower-than-expected 5.9% effective tax rate, management explained that this was largely offset by the early completion of a secondary offering to pay for the Moeller and Phoenixtec acquisitions. Excluding all the unusual, earnings approximated $2.05 a share, still comfortably ahead of the upper end of Eaton's prior $1.95 guidance and our $2.04 estimate but slightly below the $2.10 reported for 2Q08. The crux of investors' concerns did not lie in the company's reduction in 2008 midpoint EPS guidance to $7.85 from $8.05 as much as it did in the company's belief that it could still grow earnings at 15%-20% in 2009, despite the near-term slowdown in its global growth assumptions. Our six-to-12-month price target is $92 (previously $100, but down solely because of a lower multiple on the S&P 500), based on our new 2008 EPS estimate of $8.05 and an S&P 500 estimated 2008 P/E of 13.5. Our price target is based on our 2008 ETN EPS forecast of $8.05 a share, and assumes that the stock trades at a 15% relative P/E discount to the overall market.	Love	July 19, 2008
barrons2	The industrials are so hated right now that I find it unnerving. Should Eaton (ETN) have been down 10 at one point because it guided down by 20 cents off an $8 number?	Love	July 17, 2008
barrons2	Can the money go into the industrials? Tough call, as steels are getting killed but the United Technologies (UTX)-type names are capable of making a comeback, provided that you don't run into an Eaton (ETN) problem.	Love	July 17, 2008
barrons2	(Eaton (ETN) will soon, after the smoke clears.)	Love	July 17, 2008
