Hubbell to buy NSI Industries for $3.0 billion in cash

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

On May 1, 2026, Hubbell agreed to acquire NSI Industries, a maker of electrical fittings, connectors and wire management products, for $3.0 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments. Hubbell plans to fund the deal with cash on hand and debt, and the closing depends on regulatory clearance and other conditions. For shareholders, the deal is large relative to Hubbell's $5.8 billion of 2025 revenue, and the company expects it to be accretive to adjusted EPS in 2026.

Key points

  • Purchase price is $3.0 billion in cash, which the press release says represents about 15.5 times NSI's anticipated 2026 EBITDA.
  • NSI anticipates 2026 revenue of approximately $570 million; Hubbell expects the acquisition to be accretive to adjusted EPS in 2026.
  • Commitment letter dated May 1, 2026 with JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and HSBC provides up to $2.8 billion of senior unsecured bridge loans.
  • Hubbell would pay a $150 million termination fee if the deal ends for failure to obtain antitrust approvals; the closing cannot occur before May 31, 2026 without Hubbell's consent.
