It was entered on Caps at $39.82. I followed this company since the early 1980's. Even in the worse of recessions, they remain profitable, but they are highly cyclical. In good times, the company does very well. Even though earnings dropped during the recession, they were able to maintain high levels of cash flow. In 2009, they were able to make over $1 billion in cash flow which was about what they made in 2008 and 2007. They made about $900 million in cash flow in 2010.
They are no longer tied overly much to the automotive industry. They have expanded their operations into many new markets. Their electrical and Hydraulics businesses are growing very well.
They pay $1.36 in dividends which now gives them a dividend yield of 3.4%. After 20 years of following it I think its time to add it to my portfolio.
But perhaps the thing that interests me most if the "Smart building initiative".

Eaton turned up in a screen for dividend values and looked good enough to earn a green thumb.
Value pricing and nice yield = get paid to wait for the economy to turn up.

This one hasn't worked out for me so far, but I think the company's diversity will serve it well both in weathering the down economy, as well as hitting a stride when the economy turns.

I think Eaton's product diversity is a real strength, and unlike GE it has no capital unit to drag it down. I also like the fact that it is located in the Midwest and is a solid anchor for the Cleveland, OH economy.
