How Hubbell Inc. scores

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

On profitability, Hubbell Inc. scores 7.3, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 81st percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.

Solvency

Solvency scores 8.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 241 Industrials companies is 7.1, so Hubbell Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 62nd percentile. A high solvency score means leverage is modest relative to earnings and cash flow, which gives management room to act in a bad year.

Growth

Growth scores 7.4 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 216 Industrials companies is 5.4, so Hubbell Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 82nd percentile. A high growth score rewards a business that is getting bigger in a way that reaches the bottom line, not just the top one.

Efficiency

Efficiency scores 6.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 264 Industrials companies is 6.2, so Hubbell Inc. is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 64th percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.

Predictability

On predictability, Hubbell Inc. scores 6.9, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.0 across 267 Industrials companies, which places it well above them, at the 84th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The five readings are evenly matched. The best, solvency at 8.0, is just 1.2 points above the weakest, efficiency at 6.8, so no single pillar is carrying the score. Leading with solvency is a defensive strength: it protects the business more than it grows it. Weak efficiency can reflect a heavy investment phase, which only pays off if the investment earns a return.

What would move the score

Hubbell Inc. has no pillar below the median of Industrials companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 7.0 rather than 7.3. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Hubbell Inc. has a reading on every pillar.

Limitations

This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
