What changed

$HUBG reported earnings for its latest quarter, reported September 24, 2026. EPS came in at $0.45, exactly matching the $0.45 posted in the same period a year earlier, a year-over-year change of 0.0%. Revenue fell 5.3% year over year.

The top-line decline is the sharper story here. Holding EPS flat while revenue contracts by more than five percent suggests some degree of cost discipline, though with a net margin of just 2.8%, there is not much cushion in the model. FCF yield sits at 7.8%, which is the more encouraging number in the data set.

The trailing P/E is 17.4 and the forward P/E is 15.2, implying the market expects earnings to improve from here. Whether that plays out depends on freight volume trends that we do not have guidance commentary to address.

What it means

The ACCE score for $HUBG is 48 out of 100. The breakdown tells a split story: Value scores 82, which reflects the gap between the current price of $29.58 and the 6-model fair value estimate of $40.24, a 36.0% difference. Growth scores 35 and Momentum scores 25, consistent with a stock that has returned -14.1% over the past year and is reporting shrinking revenue.

The analyst consensus target is $38.58, close to the model fair value, so the valuation discount is not a contrarian outlier. The question is what closes it. With revenue trending down and earnings flat, the Value score of 82 reflects price compression more than fundamental strength.

ROE is 6.2% and earnings quality is flagged as mixed, which adds a layer of caution to the headline EPS number. The dividend yield of 1.7% provides some return while the freight cycle works itself out.

We do not have guidance from management for the coming quarter, so the forward P/E of 15.2 is based on analyst estimates rather than company commentary. For the current price and full score breakdown, see acceinvestments.com/stocks/HUBG.
