HubSpot: Disappointing Outlook, Big Changes Come At A Cost

HubSpot cut 2026 revenue guidance and growth, citing AI spending caution and execution hiccups, but maintains a long-term AI-driven transformation strategy. We reduce 2026–2028 revenue estimates and lower the long-term fair value price target to $466, reflecting heightened execution and competitive risks. Despite the guidance cut, HUBS trades at undemanding multiples and a discount to peers, making it attractive at current levels, especially if the AI strategy succeeds. Execution risk is now more pronounced; next quarter’s results and Analyst Day in September are critical for reassessing the investment case.

The company reported a disappointing outlook, cutting revenue guidance and growth for the full year 2026 and providing only 15% constant currency revenue growth guidance for 3Q 2026.
