Taking Stock of HubSpot (HUBS) Valuation After Fresh Bullish Analyst Coverage and AI Growth Focus
BTIG’s fresh coverage of HubSpot (HUBS) with a positive stance puts a spotlight on the CRM provider’s mix of steady growth, improving margins, and disciplined execution, especially as it leans harder into AI driven tools.

That upbeat initiation lands after a choppy stretch, with the latest share price at $382.23 and a 1 year total shareholder return of minus 45.62 percent. However, the 3 year total shareholder return remains positive at 40.45 percent, suggesting longer term momentum is intact despite near term pressure.
If HubSpot’s mix of growth and AI has your attention, this could be a good moment to explore other high potential software names through high growth tech and AI stocks.
With shares still well below prior peaks yet trading at a premium to many software peers, the key question now is simple: is HubSpot an underappreciated compounder, or has the market already priced in its next wave of AI driven growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 34% Undervalued
With HubSpot last closing at $382.23 against a narrative fair value near $580, the valuation gap hinges on ambitious growth and margin expansion assumptions.
Rapid adoption and expansion of AI based functionality such as Customer Agent, Prospecting Agent, and connectors to leading LLMs are driving higher customer engagement, sticky workflows, and early stage monetization opportunities especially via credit based AI features, setting the stage for stronger net dollar retention and potentially higher net margins in 2026 and beyond.
Curious how this AI rollout justifies such a lofty future profit multiple, and what kind of revenue and margin lift it assumes? The full narrative reveals the exact growth runway and earnings power behind that near six hundred dollar fair value call.
Result: Fair Value of $579.55 (UNDERVALUED)
