Shelton, CT, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE: HUBB) today announced that Bill Sperry, Chief Financial Officer, will appear at the Wolfe Global Transportation and Industrials Conference. The event will be webcast and is scheduled to begin at 4:35PM ET on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
Upgraded Hubbell from hold to buy due to early signs of demand recovery, especially in Grid Infrastructure and HES segments, driven by AI tailwinds. 1Q25 results showed mixed performance: HES grew 4.8% organically with margin expansion, while HUS saw a 3.6% decline, and Grid Infrastructure grew 1.5%. Management expects AI-driven datacenter demand to boost grid infrastructure investments, with reaffirmed FY25 guidance and anticipated sequential improvement in 2Q25.
Hubbell offers long-term growth potential with strong U.S.-centric operations, driven by data center expansion and industrial reshoring. Despite short-term headwinds like cost inflation and a dip in utility segment revenues, management remains confident in its growth outlook. The company maintains a solid balance sheet, a steadily growing dividend, and stable earnings growth expectations, making it fundamentally sound.
