Hubbell raised prices by ~1 point for the year due to metals inflation (copper, aluminum, steel) but expects price-cost to be margin-dilutive by about 100 basis points in 2026.
“in our 20 basis point of margin expansion at the midpoint of the guide, there's about a point of dilution just from that price cost math.”
Hubbell sees the 765kV high-voltage transmission buildout as a $1.5B addressable market over 10 years, which is incremental to its existing strong 345kV business, driven by large-scale grid buildout.
“we believe 765 kV transmission represents an addressable market opportunity of approximately $1.5 billion over the next 10 years”
Management stated that the recent updates to various tariff frameworks are largely neutral to their existing tariff cost structure, based on their use of US-melted steel.
