Why Eaton stock jumped Friday: HSBC upgrade puts ETN back in focus before earnings
Eaton shares jumped 3.1% to $343.75 Friday after HSBC upgraded the stock and raised its price target to $400, citing strong data-center exposure. The move came as the S&P 500 and Dow slipped and ahead of a U.S. market holiday. Eaton traded above its 200-day moving average and saw heavier-than-usual volume. The company’s next earnings report is expected between Jan. 29 and Feb. 2.
