Hubbell Incorporated (HUBB) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Hubbell Incorporated published the results on October 27, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Hubbell Incorporated reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Hubbell acquired NSI Industries for $3.0 billion, net of cash acquired, on June 9, 2026 and added it to the Electrical Solutions segment. DMC Power and Nicor were acquired in the second half of 2025. Acquisitions added 13.2% to Q3 2026 net sales growth.
• Hubbell's adjusted EPS excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transaction, integration and separation costs.

How Hubbell Incorporated splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Hubbell Incorporated's Utility Solutions revenue was $1.0 billion in Q3 2026, up 9% from $944 million in Q3 2025, 55% of total revenue.
• Hubbell Incorporated's Electrical Solutions revenue was $845 million in Q3 2026, up 51% from $559 million in Q3 2025, 45% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 27, 2026

Hubbell Incorporated reported Q3 2026 net sales of $1,872.5 million, up 24.6% from $1,502.4 million. Organic net sales grew 11.3%, acquisitions added 13.2% and foreign exchange 0.1%. Utility Solutions contributed $1,027.8 million and Electrical Solutions $844.7 million. (Hubbell Q3 2026 release, Oct 27, 2026)

Electrical Solutions net sales rose 51.2%, with 22.0% organic growth and 29.1% from acquisitions, mainly NSI Industries, a maker of electrical fittings, connectors, components and wire management products bought for $3.0 billion on June 9, 2026. Hubbell said volume growth came primarily from the datacenter, light industrial and utility markets, with a high teen percentage increase from unit volume and a mid single digit percentage increase from price realization. (Hubbell Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 28, 2026)

Utility Solutions net sales grew 8.9%, of which 4.9% was organic. Grid Infrastructure, which includes transmission and distribution components such as arresters, insulators, connectors and switches, rose to $808.0 million from $714.8 million. Grid Automation, which includes smart meters and communications systems, fell to $219.8 million from $229.0 million, and Hubbell cited a temporary supply chain disruption in that business during the quarter.

Hubbell's sales are mostly domestic. In Q3 2026 United States customers accounted for $987.8 million of Utility Solutions sales and $760.6 million of Electrical Solutions sales, against international sales of $40.0 million and $84.1 million. In 2025 Utility Solutions made up 63% of consolidated revenues, and Hubbell's top ten customers, which include electrical distributors, accounted for approximately 42% of net sales. (Hubbell Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 28, 2026; Hubbell Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 12, 2026)

Hubbell Incorporated's GAAP diluted EPS was $4.94 in Q3 2026, up from $4.77, and adjusted diluted EPS was $5.91, up 14% from $5.17. The adjusted figure excluded $0.89 of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and $0.08 of transaction, integration and separation costs. Amortization rose to $62.2 million from $24.7 million after the NSI Industries, DMC Power and Nicor acquisitions. (Hubbell Q3 2026 release, Oct 27, 2026)

Debt raised for those acquisitions weighed on GAAP results. Net interest expense rose to $58.0 million from $13.6 million, and total debt reached $5,120.2 million at September 30, 2026, against $2,325.4 million at the end of 2025. The effective tax rate rose to 23.4% from 17.5%, because the year-ago quarter included a one-time income tax benefit from international restructurings.

Hubbell's diluted share count was 53.1 million, against 53.4 million a year earlier. It spent $203.5 million on share repurchases and $225.4 million on dividends in the first nine months of 2026. The quarter's cost of goods sold was reduced by approximately $31 million of IEEPA tariff refunds Hubbell received. (Hubbell Q3 2026 release, Oct 27, 2026; Hubbell Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 28, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Hubbell Incorporated gives a full-year outlook in its release, and raised it in Q3 2026, citing stronger anticipated Electrical Solutions growth. For 2026 it now expects total sales growth of 18-19%, including organic growth of 10-11%, GAAP diluted EPS of $17.30 to $17.50 and adjusted EPS of $20.40 to $20.60. (Hubbell Q3 2026 release, Oct 27, 2026)

The adjusted EPS range excludes about $2.50 a share of acquisition-related amortization and about $0.60 a share of transaction, integration and separation costs. Both ranges assume an adjusted tax rate of 22.0% to 22.5% and about $20 million of restructuring and related investment, and Hubbell expects free cash flow conversion of approximately 90% on adjusted net income.

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Hubbell Incorporated, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Hubbell Incorporated's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning HUBB is on is HUBB a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the HUBB forecast, and what the company does is on the Hubbell Incorporated (HUBB) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Hubbell Incorporated published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
