HubSpot Investment Narrative Recap

To own HubSpot, you generally have to believe it can keep scaling as a core customer platform while successfully monetizing AI features and moving further upmarket. Jefferies’ upbeat view on AI-driven growth reinforces that narrative, but it does not materially change the near term focus on whether HubSpot can turn early AI products into sustainable, profitable revenue or the ongoing risk from intensifying AI powered competition.

Against this backdrop, HubSpot’s latest Q3 2025 results, with revenue of US$809.52 million and a swing to quarterly net income of US$16.54 million, give investors a timely snapshot of how efficiently the company is growing into that AI and upmarket opportunity, and how much margin progress it is making while concerns around AI and customer acquisition remain in focus.

Yet while optimism around AI driven acceleration is rising, investors should still be aware of how early HubSpot’s AI agent and credit based monetization model really is and how...

HubSpot's narrative projects $4.6 billion revenue and $388.4 million earnings by 2028. This requires 17.1% yearly revenue growth and a $400.3 million earnings increase from -$11.9 million today.

Uncover how HubSpot's forecasts yield a $579.55 fair value, a 46% upside to its current price.
