What the filing says
Hubbell reported Q3 2026 diluted EPS of $4.94 (GAAP) and adjusted EPS of $5.91, up 14% year-over-year. Net sales grew 25% to $1,872.5M (organic +11%, M&A +13%). The company raised full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $20.40–$20.60 from prior expectations, driven by stronger Electrical Solutions growth (>20% organic) fueled by datacenter markets. Utility Solutions grew 9% (5% organic). Adjusted operating margin expanded 160 basis points to 25.5%. Long-term debt increased significantly from $2,036.3M (Dec 2025) to $4,506.4M (Sept 2026), reflecting acquisition financing; net debt/total capital rose to 51% from 28%.
Why this rating
Strong organic growth, margin expansion, and raised guidance are positive; however, debt burden ($2.8B new long-term debt raised in 9M2026) and acquisition integration risks (NSI, Ventev, DMC Power) create material offsetting headwinds for a $21.6B company.
