Discussion surrounding Hubbell Incorporated (HUBB) has been ambivalent but predominantly affirmative. Questions of its short-term performance have been raised in context to the S&P 500, with some analysts suggesting its underperformance. Regardless, the stock has seen interest from hedge funds, with expectations of a potential upside and a robust dividend yield. Recent Q4 2024 earnings missed expectations, leading to a dip in stock. However, the massive $5.6B revenue solidifies Hubbell as a key infrastructure player. The company also missed Q1 2025 forecasts leading to another dip. Despite lagging estimates, Hubbell’s value has been recognized by Goldman Sachs and has been identified as top dividend stock with insider buying and a 1.48% yield. Some discomfort has been noted over the company’s P/E Ratio. Despite softer sales and tariff uncertainty, the earnings call emphasized effective margin management. Hubbell President Pete Lau has announced his stepping down, but the company has affirmed growth strategies, securing a deal to acquire Aclara Technologies for $1.1 billion.
