New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 18, 2026) - Levi & Korsinsky notifies investors that it has commenced an investigation into Hub Group, Inc. ("Hub Group, Inc.") (NASDAQ: HUBG) concerning potential violations of the federal securities laws.

On February 3, 2026, Hub Group reached a 52-week high of $48.96 per share. Three days later, following the accounting error announcement, shares were trading near $37--a loss of roughly $12 per share in a matter of hours. For an investor holding 10,000 shares, that represents an approximate $120,000 decline in portfolio value.

The analyst community responded with unusual urgency. Stifel, which had maintained a Buy rating and $52 price target, reversed course entirely, downgrading Hub Group to Sell and cutting its target to $27--a 48% reduction. Analyst commentary pointed to the accounting error as a fundamental blow to confidence in the company's reported financials. Baird similarly moved from Outperform to Neutral, reducing its target from $47 to $29, a 38% cut. Both downgrades were issued on the morning of February 6, adding selling pressure to an already declining stock.

Notably, the Q4 2025 earnings headline was not itself negative--Hub Group reported earnings per share of $0.45 versus a consensus estimate of $0.44, and revenue was described as having "topped estimates." However, the positive quarterly result was entirely overshadowed by the restatement disclosure, which affects three prior quarters and an estimated $77 million in understated costs. The disconnect between the modest earnings beat and the 23% stock decline illustrates the market's assessment that the accounting issue is far more consequential than a single quarter's results.
