Hubbell to acquire DMC Power for $825m
DMC Power is a provider of connectors and tooling for utility substation and transmission markets. It designs and manufactures connector technology systems essential for high-voltage power infrastructure.
The company has more than 350 employees across two manufacturing facilities in Carson, California, and Olive Branch, Mississippi, and multiple distribution facilities throughout North America.
For 2026, DMC Power expects revenue of $130m with an earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation forecast of $60m.
Hubbell chairman, president and CEO Gerben Bakker stated: 'We are excited to add another high-growth, high-margin business to Hubbell's utility solutions portfolio.
'As load growth, datacentre buildouts and ageing infrastructure drive highly visible utility substation and transmission investment over the next several years, the acquisition of DMC Power expands Hubbell's strong presence in these attractive markets.'
The transaction is expected to be finalised by the end of 2025 after meeting all necessary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
To finance the acquisition, Hubbell intends to use a combination of cash and debt.
Hubbell utility solutions president Greg Gumbs stated: 'DMC Power's swage connection system [a mechanical connection that joins two components, often pipes or tubes, by fitting one part tightly around the other] offers a strong complement to our existing substation and transmission connector solutions.
'This acquisition will deepen and broaden Hubbell's technology offering with our core customers, enabling fast, reliable buildout of substation infrastructure and datacentre interconnections while further accelerating our near and long-term growth profile.'
The deal is anticipated to positively impact Hubbell's adjusted earnings per share from 2026.
DMC Power CEO Tony Ward stated: 'I want to extend my thanks to our dedicated employees and customers whose commitment has driven DMC's success. As the pioneers behind swage technology for utilities, we are proud to have developed a world-class solution that is transforming the industry.
'By joining forces with Hubbell, we are confident that swage will accelerate its industry adoption and that our customers will continue to receive the high-quality service and solutions they have come to expect from DMC.'

U.S. Credit Card Metrics Send Mixed July Signals
Credit card health in the U.S. showed a split picture in July late payments crept up a touch, but the actual losses banks had to swallow moved lower. Delinquencies, which track borrowers falling behind on payments, ticked up to 2.66% from 2.63% in June. Even so, that's still an improvement from 2.87% a year ago and not far from the 2.68% level seen back in July 2019, before the pandemic. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with RGTI. Net charge-offs, or debts written off as uncollectible, slipped to 3.63% from 3.80% the month before and 4.09% a year earlier. The only catch: that's still a bit higher than the 3.59% rate in mid-2019. The pattern holds even when you strip out Bread Financial's (BFH) higher numbers. And Capital One's (COF) latest results now fold in Discover Financial, following their June 2025 deal, so historical comparisons are a little tricky. For investors, the message is clear enough: consumers are showing a few more signs of strain, but banks aren't seeing losses spiral at least not yet. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Yes, 'nepo babies' make more money — but not necessarily in the fields you'd expect
Working for your mom or dad's employer pays off. Young upstarts who have a parental connection initially make 24% more money in their first job when compared to peers without the same advantage. The surprising part: Nepotism isn't all Hollywood deals and Wall Street gigs. The pay differential can largely be explained by kids who might've otherwise worked in unskilled labor if not for their parents hooking them up with high-paying, blue-collar jobs, according to Matthew Staiger, a research scientist for Opportunity Insights at Harvard University. 'The set of children who end up working for their parents' firms are people who tend to have pretty limited outside options,' Staiger said of his research, which was recently highlighted in a US Census Bureau article. 'These are people who might not have gone to college and, absent help from their parents, would end up working at something like a fast food restaurant.' But thanks to their connections, the workers were steered toward higher-paying, blue-collar industries, like construction and manufacturing. For example, government data shows fast food and counter workers earn a mean annual wage of $30,110, while construction laborers earn a mean of $49,280, and production workers earn $41,400. Managers in those fields can make far more — over $100,000.

'The people who are really benefiting from these are children of parents who have relatively high incomes but are working at something like a manufacturing plant.' Indeed, Staiger found that people with higher-earning parents are more likely to work for their mom or dad's boss and experience larger earnings gains. Overall, kids working with their parents see an annual earnings boost of $6,683 in their first year on the job, with that premium sliding to $5,566 in the third year of employment, or 20% more. For his research, Staiger utilized data from the 2000 decennial census and the Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program, which 'tells you, for almost everyone in the US, how much they earn each quarter and where they work.' He examined a sample of approximately 32 million people who lived with a parent and graduated from high school between 2000 and 2013. Staiger found that it's not uncommon for children to go on to work for their parents' employers — almost a third of young workers do so by the time they reach 30, and 5% do so for their very first job. People who don't go to college are much more prone to work for their parents' firms, Staiger said, with people without a degree being twice as likely to work for their mom or dad's employer when compared to even their college-educated siblings. The connections disproportionately benefit higher-income families, though, perhaps because parents in more lucrative leadership positions in blue-collar fields can provide better access to jobs. Still, the families benefiting have been pinched by other market conditions, Staiger noted. High-paying manufacturing jobs aren't as prevalent in the US as they used to be, for instance, and the sector overall has shed millions of jobs since peaking in 1979 at 19.6 million workers. 'On the one hand, you can think of these parental connections as being unfair,' Staiger said. 'On the other hand, it's kind of like a little win for a group of people who have been hammered by various labor market shocks over the last several decades.'
