Heartland Mid Cap Value Fund Colin McWey, Will Nasgovitz, Troy McGlone | “A new Quality Value position initiated during the quarter was Hubbell Inc (HUBB), a leading electrical component manufacturer. Over the past decade, Hubbell implemented self-help actions to shift its portfolio away from traditional commercial construction end markets and toward the power grid/utility end market, which now represents more than two-thirds of sales, thereby reducing exposure to construction spending cycles. At the same time, Hubbell has simplified its product offerings and consolidated 15% of its footprint, rationalizing underutilized assets and creating flexible capacity for faster-growing markets. During the pandemic-related supply chain disruptions, many of Hubbell's utility customers over-ordered products to ensure availability in the field. By 2024, as lead times normalized, destocking efforts accelerated and organic revenue turned negative. The stock came under further pressure in early 2025, as investor sentiment toward power generation demand took a hit. As a result, the stock is now attractively priced in our opinion. After trading at a median 15% premium to its peers over the past 5 years and a 5% premium over the past decade, HUBB fell to a 10% discount in April and is now roughly in line with other Industrial companies on an EV/EBITDA basis. We also expect the company to benefit from continued demand for transmission and distribution infrastructure owing to the country's aged electrical grid, and Q1-25 earnings confirmed our view that customer destocking has generally ceased. BSD Analysis: Hubbell is a leading electrical and utility solutions manufacturer benefiting from grid modernization, electrification, and infrastructure upgrades. Utility spending is booming as aging grids require replacement and reinforcement. Hubbell's portfolio of connectors, controls, and smart-grid components gives it pricing power and strong margin potential. Industrial demand adds another layer of stability. The company is executing well on productivity and cost initiatives. Free cash flow is consistently robust. Hubbell is a clean, secular infrastructure winner.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
