While Greif was a 6-cent-per-share drag in the first quarter of 2026 due to storm disruption and higher freight and recycled fiber costs, management expects the acquired operations to be accretive to earnings in the second quarter. This is likely to have aided the Packaging segment in the to-be-reported quarter. Our model predicts the Packaging segment’s volume to rise 3.6% year over year. The price and mix impacts for the Packaging segment are expected to have been favorable at 3.3% for the quarter, per our model.

Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? Hubbell (HUBB), which belongs to the Zacks Manufacturing - Electrical Utilities industry, could be a great candidate to consider. When looking at the last two reports, this electrical products manufacturer has recorded a strong streak of surpassing earnings estimates. The company has topped estimates by 1.09%, on average, in the last two quarters. For the most recent quarter, Hubbell was expected to post earnings of $3.87 per share, but it reported $3.93 per share instead, representing a surprise of 1.55%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $4.7 per share, while it actually produced $4.73 per share, a surprise of 0.64%. With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Hubbell. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank. Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Hubbell has an Earnings ESP of +0.62% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss. Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for th...

Last week, you might have seen that Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE:HUBB) released its first-quarter result to the market. The early response was not positive, with shares down 8.1% to US$508 in the past week.

After the latest results, the 14 analysts covering Hubbell are now predicting revenues of US$6.40b in 2026. If met, this would reflect an okay 6.7% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to increase 6.2% to US$18.17. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$6.33b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$18.26 in 2026. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

There are some variant perceptions on Hubbell, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$600 and the most bearish at US$479 per share. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects.

Hubbell reported double-digit Q1 growth in sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted EPS (Q1 sales $1.517B; adj. EPS $3.93) and raised full‑year guidance to 8–11% sales growth with adj. EPS of $19.30–$19.85. Segment results were mixed: Utility Solutions benefited from broad-based T&D and 12% grid infrastructure growth that offset a 7% decline in grid automation that management expects to stabilize, while Electrical Solutions saw roughly 40% data center growth but margin pressure from increased restructuring and growth investments. Management flagged a strategic long‑term opportunity in 765 kV high‑voltage transmission (roughly $1.5B addressable over 10 years) and continued capital returns, repurchasing $168M of shares in Q1 that should be neutral to 2026 but accretive in 2027 despite higher interest from acquisition financing. Interested in Hubbell Inc? Here are five stocks we like better. 3 Sustainable Stocks Benefiting From the AI Energy Surge Hubbell (NYSE:HUBB) reported strong first-quarter 2026 results and raised its full-year outlook, citing broad-based demand in utility transmission and distribution (T&D) markets as well as accelerating activity in data centers. Chairman, President and CEO Gerben Bakker said the company opened the year with “double-digit growth in sales, adjusted operating profit, and adjusted earnings per share,” supported by 8% organic growth. Bakker said growth was driven by double-digit organic gains in the Electrical Solutions segment and in Hubbell’s grid infrastructure businesses within Utility Solutions, partially offset by weaker grid automation. → Corning Beats Q1 Estimates but Drops 9% on Guidance Miss Hubbell, Rockwell stocks set to benefit from electrification boom CFO Joe Capozzoli reported first-quarter net sales of $1.517 billion, up 11% year over year, driven by 8% organic growth and 3% from acquisitions. Adjusted operating profit rose 18% to $301 million, and adjusted operating margin expanded 110 basis points year over year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased 16% to $3.93. Capozzoli attributed margin improvement primarily to “strong volume growth in high-margin businesses.” He also said that while cost inflation accelerated versus late 2025 levels, pricing and productivity actions “continued to keep pace,” offsetting higher inflation “on a dollar-for-dollar basis” in the quarter. → Meta Posted Its Bes...

Organic growth of 8% was propelled by double-digit expansion in Electrical Solutions and Grid Infrastructure, offsetting anticipated softness in grid automation. Management identified a $1.5 billion addressable market in 765 kV high-voltage transmission over the next decade, viewing this as incremental to existing 345 kV strength. Data center market performance reached 40% growth in Q1, driven by robust demand for balance-of-system components and modular power distribution skids. The Utility Solutions segment benefited from a shift toward grid hardening and resiliency investments as utilities manage aging infrastructure and increasing load growth. Electrical Solutions' success is attributed to a strategy of 'competing collectively' across high-growth vertical markets like light industrial and manufacturing. Operational margins expanded 110 basis points as strong volume in high-margin businesses and productivity actions more than offset accelerated cost inflation. The integration of DMC Power and Systems Control is exceeding expectations, specifically supporting high-demand substation and transmission applications. Full-year 2026 organic sales growth guidance was raised to a range of 6% to 9%., reflecting enhanced visibility in T&D and data center end markets. The updated outlook assumes approximately three points of price contribution, including a one-point increase from new Q2 actions to offset rising metals inflation. Management expects grid automation to return to slight year-over-year growth in Q2 as meter and AMI markets stabilize and comparisons ease. Data center full-year outlook was significantly increased to 'more than 25%' growth based on robust order activity from hyperscalers and colocation customers. The company anticipates maintaining price/cost productivity at neutral or better on a dollar-for-dollar basis despite a more dynamic inflationary environment. Restructuring and related program investments totaled $7 million in Q1, primarily aimed at streamlining the Electrical Solutions operational footprint. Accelerated cost inflation in copper, aluminum, and steel against 2025 exit rates necessitated mid-quarter pricing adjustments. Recent updates to various tariff frameworks, including Section 232 and the repeal of IEEP, are expected to be largely neutral to the existing cost structure. Share repurchases of $168 million are expected to be earning...

Bakker Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer — Joe Capazzoli Vice President, Investor Relations — Daniel Innamorato Operator Gerben W. Bakker: Great. Thanks, Dan, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us to discuss Hubbell Incorporated’s first quarter 2026 results. Hubbell Incorporated delivered strong financial performance to begin the year, with double-digit growth in sales, adjusted operating profit, and adjusted earnings per share. Organic growth of 8% in the first quarter was driven by double-digit organic growth in our Electrical Solutions segment as well as our Grid Infrastructure businesses within the Utility Solutions segment. Our core utility T&D markets remain strong, with highly visible load growth driving continued strong demand in transmission and substation markets, and aging infrastructure and resiliency investments driving strong demand in distribution markets. Electrical Solutions growth continues to be driven by strength in data center and light industrial markets, enabled by our leading brands and continued success in our strategy to compete collectively in high-growth verticals. We are raising our full-year 2026 outlook for total sales growth, organic sales growth, and adjusted earnings per share this morning, as we are confident Hubbell Incorporated’s strong position in attractive end markets and continued execution of our long-term strategy will enable us to execute through a dynamic operating environment. Before I turn the call over to Joe to walk you through our financial performance in more detail, I would like to highlight an emerging growth opportunity for Hubbell Incorporated in high-voltage transmission, a long-term megatrend that sits squarely in our core, and we are demonstrating early success in a multiyear investment cycle. As background, 765 kV transmission represents one of the most efficient methods to move large amounts of power over long distances in order to accommodate accelerating electricity demand from electrification and load growth. Operating transmission lines at higher voltages enables utilities to deliver more power per line with lower losses and fewer space requirements. For Hubbell Incorporated, high-voltage transmission represents a significant multiyear oppor...
