JMP Securities analyst Joseph Osha noted that GE Current has been sold, Cree's (CREE) lighting equipment business has been sold and Eaton (ETN) has announced the planned spinoff of its lighting business during the past six months, all of which "begs an interesting question" about Hubbell's (HUBB) plans for its own lighting business. While Osha doesn't think the division is as dilutive to Hubbell's overall business as either Cree or GE Current was, he also doesn't believe it is as profitable as Acuity Brands (AYI). Hubbell has found managing the volatile lighting business to be a challenge and Osha said he thinks spinning it off "would be a good idea." He reiterates an Outperform rating and $146 price target on Hubbell shares.
