Analysis · HUBB · Manufacturing
Hubbell delivered a strong second quarter, with organic sales up 10.2% and adjusted EPS of $5.52 beating expectations. The company closed its transformative $3 billion acquisition of NSI Industries in June, which added $35.4 million in sales in just three weeks and drove total assets to $11.8 billion. Management raised full-year guidance, signaling confidence in continued demand across utility and electrical end markets. The balance sheet reflects the acquisition financing — total debt jumped to $5.37 billion, but the company remains in compliance with its 65% debt-to-capitalization covenant. A $30 million tariff refund received after the quarter will provide a tailwind in the second half.
