Good Company growing well

look at the history...long term growth for decades...

steady she grows

ETN is well diversified and management is forward thinking.

There's no beatin' Eaton!
Seriously, this is stock for widows and orphans. Nice increase in dividends and earnings. Very consistent. 12.2 PE ratio. ROE and profit margins show gentle increase. On the minus side, debt (although greatly reduced) still remains a little above the comfort level for me, and the use of retained earnings has hardly been what you would call inspired. The best news is that it is currently bargain-priced, so the margin of safety factor is very high. Thank you Mr. Graham!

Oversold, and you have the private equity put protecting the downside.

Diverse rust belt industrial manufacturer with a ton of growth potential.

Steady performer for years - will continue to do well

Here are the strongest fundamentals I've seen in the sector. The EPS is especially strong. Look for 20-30% growth in the next 3-4 years.

Smart management, stock will grow despite industry.
