Hubbell Incorporated (HUBB): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Industrials · Electrical Equipment & Parts · United States · Blend
Is HUBB undervalued?
HUBB closed at 464.71 on 16 Oct 2026, more than 30% above the GLS average fair value of 318.88. Only 2 of the 9 models that produced a value sit above the price. By our models the shares are priced well beyond what the filed earnings, cash flow and book value support; the Sunday Scan drops names like this at the "below fair value" rule.
There is a wide gap between DDM (83.58) and Payback Time (519.48). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.

Quality and financial health
Hubbell Incorporated scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. A GLS Moat score of 8.8/10 puts HUBB among the more durable businesses we track: over ten years the metrics the score watches (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, ROIC) have mostly moved the right way, year after year.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 13.7%, ROE 23.1%, ROA 10.8% - with debt at 0.68 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 3.7%.
The dividend yield is 1.22% with a payout ratio of 33% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Utility Solutions 60%, Electrical 40% (quarter Q2 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 4/10 and Congressional trading 4/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 19 Aug 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 6 / 9 | ROIC | 13.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 8.8 / 10 | ROE | 23.1% |
| Debt / equity | 0.68 | ROA | 10.8% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 3.7% | Payout ratio | 33% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 4 · 4 / 10 |
Wheel Score 64: Fair
A Wheel Score of 64 puts Hubbell Incorporated in the Fair band - below the 70 the Sunday Scan requires. Value 0/25, Health 13/20, Moat 13/15, Premium 20/20 and Stability 17/20; the weakest part is Value (0/25).
Implied volatility is 44% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. Chain open interest is 12,016 contracts across all expiries - enough for the wheel at normal size.
Volume runs at 679k shares a day on a market cap of $24.6B, with a beta of 0.85; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 17 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 0 / 25 | -46% margin of safety | |
| Health | 13 / 20 | Piotroski 6/9 | |
| Moat | 13 / 15 | moat 8.8/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 44% | |
| Stability | 17 / 20 | 679k shares/day, $24.6B cap, beta 0.85 |
