Stock Track | Hubbell Stock Plunges After Sales Outlook Cut Despite Earnings Beat

Stock Track10-29

Shares of Hubbell Inc. (HUBB) plummeted nearly 6% on Monday after the electrical equipment maker reported mixed third-quarter results and lowered its full-year sales growth outlook, overshadowing an earnings beat and raised profit forecast.

The Connecticut-based company reported adjusted earnings of $4.49 per share for the third quarter, exceeding analysts' expectations of $4.46. However, revenue of $1.44 billion fell short of the $1.48 billion consensus estimate.

While Hubbell raised its fiscal 2024 adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $16.35 to $16.55, up from its previous forecast of $16.20 to $16.50, it lowered its total sales growth outlook to around 6% from its prior view of 7% to 8% growth. The reduced sales outlook appeared to weigh on investor sentiment, triggering the steep sell-off in Hubbell's shares.
