The rapid integration of artificial intelligence may drive significant long-term productivity gains and provide a counterweight to softening employment conditions and inflationary pressures. Value stocks outperformed growth counterparts in Q4, with the Russell 3000 Value Index gaining 3.8% versus 1.1% for growth. The team sees intriguing investment opportunities in value-oriented stocks that are being largely ignored, creating an attractive backdrop for stock pickers. Strong demand for data centers has accelerated sales for companies like Eaton Corporation. The buildout of AI-associated data centers is driving increased demand and margin improvements for companies benefiting from this infrastructure spend. The need for upgraded electric grids has accelerated demand for Eaton's products. The process of electrification and grid investment should provide improvements in ROIC along with additional benefits from AI infrastructure spend. | ETN SEE |
