On June 15, Eaton rose 3.17% in regular trading, trading at $407.32 USD/share, with turnover of $106 million. The gain was driven by continued market recognition of Eaton's recently announced strategic transaction to spin off its Mobility Group and merge it with Dana Incorporated.
Eaton signed a definitive agreement to execute the separation through a Reverse Morris Trust structure, with the combined entity valued at over $10 billion and Eaton's Mobility unit specifically valued at approximately $5.1 billion. Under the terms, Eaton will receive approximately $1.1 billion in cash distribution funded by newly issued debt from the Mobility Group, while Eaton shareholders will retain a minimum 50.1% equity stake in the merged company. The combined entity will retain the Dana name and is expected to generate $11 billion in revenue and $1.7 billion in adjusted EBITDA, with $250 million in cost synergies targeted within two years.
Eaton stated the transaction will immediately enhance its organic growth rate and operating margins upon completion, allowing the company to sharpen its focus on electrification, aerospace, and AI-driven data center power management — key pillars of its 2030 growth strategy. RBC Capital Markets characterized the deal as transformative, and the transaction is expected to close in Q1 of next year.
