  • HubSpot Shares Slide 58.6% in a Year Despite Revenue Growth
    January 21, 2026, 11:15 PM EST. HubSpot (HUBS) shares fell 24.6% last month and 58.6% over one year, with the stock closing at $302.32. Despite this, HubSpot has shown annual revenue growth of 13.3% and increasing net income. The stock trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 5.3x, lower than the peer average of 7.1x and the estimated fair value of 9.2x, suggesting potential undervaluation. A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values HubSpot shares at about $501.69, indicating a 39.7% discount versus current prices. However, risks include ongoing net losses and possibly slowing revenue growth. Investors face a choice: view the price as an opportunity or as a reflection of market skepticism about future cash flows.
