Context
This filing reports straight purchases (no option exercises, gifts, or immediate sell‑offs disclosed). Because Eaton is a 10% owner via a family agreement, these trades reflect activity by a significant shareholder group rather than necessarily an executive insider. As always, purchases show direct investment but do not by themselves prove future company performance.
