Investing.com - UBS lowered its price target on HubSpot Inc (NYSE:HUBS) to $700 from $820 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for HUBS currently range from $593 to $910, with the stock trading near $493.
The price target reduction comes as HubSpot shares have declined approximately 25% since mid-May amid broader negative sentiment around AI-related software-as-a-service companies and rising company-specific concerns including SEO changes and CRM competition. InvestingPro data shows the stock has fallen more sharply over a longer period, with a 36% decline over the past six months.
Despite the price target cut, UBS noted that HubSpot’s second-quarter key performance indicators were "better than feared," with 9,700 net customer additions and guidance for continued additions at the upper end of the 9,000-10,000 range in the second half of the year.
The firm highlighted a one-point improvement in net revenue retention driven by seat growth tailwinds, along with revenue acceleration to approximately 18% constant currency and duration-adjusted billings growth to about 19% constant currency, suggesting growth stability rather than further deceleration.
UBS maintained that HubSpot has "one of the better set-ups in SMID apps/SaaS" with improving key performance indicators and conservative estimates for the second half of 2025 and fiscal year 2026, valuing the company at 7x enterprise value to sales and 33x enterprise value to free cash flow on calendar year 2027 estimates. Based on current InvestingPro Fair Value analysis, HUBS appears to be trading near its fair value, with analysts expecting the company to turn profitable this year.
