Hubbell stock declined 5.5% following the release of its disappointing Q1 earnings on May 1.

HUBB's adjusted earnings decreased 2.8% from its year-ago value to $3.50 and failed to touch the consensus estimates by 6.2%. Its peer, Vertiv Holdings Co. (VRT), has performed better over the past year. VRT stock has grown 2.6% in 2025 and has surged 30.2% over the past 52 weeks. Among the 11 analysts covering the HUBB stock, the consensus rating is a 'Moderate Buy.' Its mean price target of $424.22 suggests an 8.4% upside potential from current price levels.
