Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) Dropped Due to Concerns Over Impact on AI Supply Chain from Slower Data Centre Expansion
Carillon Tower Advisers, an investment management company, released its 'Carillon Eagle Growth & Income Fund' first quarter 2025 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The S&P 500 Index ended Q1 down 4.3%, marking a turbulent start to 2025. The volatility that began in February was triggered by factors including policy uncertainties, economic deceleration, and AI investment sustainability concerns. The market's first intra-quarter drawdown exceeded 10% in 28 months. Adding to the uncertainty, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declined from 4.8% to 4.25%, leading to an equity market rotation favoring defensive sectors, quality stocks, and dividend-yielding equities over growth and momentum-driven investments, with top-performing sectors like energy, healthcare, and consumer staples. Moreover, the quarter saw market participation broaden, with index leadership shifting from mega-cap technology companies to a more diverse base of stocks, as evidenced by the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index's outperformance. Additionally, you can check the fund's top 5 holdings to determine its best picks for 2025.

Carillon Eagle Growth & Income Fund stated the following regarding Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE:ETN) in its Q1 2025 investor letter: "Pressure on Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE:ETN) shares stemmed from concerns about the possibility that reduced capital spending in the data center market could affect the entire AI supply chain. As a critical supplier of power connection products, the company's multi-year growth prospects are affected by overall data center capital spending trends that continue to be favorable."
