Macquarie lowers HubSpot stock price target to $660 on macro uncertainty

Investing.com - Macquarie has lowered its price target on HubSpot Inc (NYSE:HUBS) to $660.00 from $730.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating, citing macroeconomic uncertainty despite strong quarterly performance. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has declined over 36% in the past six months, though analysis suggests the company remains slightly undervalued at current levels.

HubSpot delivered $761 million in total revenue for the quarter, representing 18% year-over-year growth in constant currency and exceeding expectations by $22 million. The company saw strength in up-market deals, driving calculated constant-currency billings growth of 20% year-over-year on longer-duration deals. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 84.55% and a healthy current ratio of 1.79, indicating strong operational efficiency.

Net revenue retention (NRR) improved to 103%, up approximately one point sequentially, primarily driven by seat upgrades. Operating margin remained flat year-over-year at 17%, while management raised full-year revenue guidance by $44 million and earnings per share by $0.17.

The company reported solid adoption of its AI features, with 4,000+ customers using Customer Agent, 3,700 using Prospecting Agent (with 17,000 on the waitlist), and more than 12,000 using Content Agent. Additionally, Content Hub attached to 48% of Marketing Hub sales, up 5 percentage points year-over-year.

Management expects NRR to increase by a couple of points in the coming fourth quarter, largely driven by seat expansions and pricing model changes, while seeing opportunities for Content Hub to help customers diversify their channels as large language model summaries potentially displace organic search.
