Shares of Eaton are up more than 20% in the past year, fuelled by strong demand for its power management and regulation equipment. Providers of artificial intelligence software, which are increasing their capital spending to build new datacentres, have driven much of this growth.

Eaton also strengthened its position through the recent acquisition of a company that specializes in liquid-cooling technologies. The deal expands its ability to serve clients.

Eaton now plans to spin off its Vehicle and eMobility businesses, known collectively as the Mobility Group. This division produces electrical power components for automotive and heavy equipment manufacturers.

The split will let Eaton better focus on its faster-growing electrical and aerospace segments.

Moreover, the new Mobility company will gain greater agility to respond to automotive technological changes.
