Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.

Why now
HubSpot’s Marketing Hub is the engine of its 21.1% FY revenue growth, and that growth is underpinned by a $797m free‑cash‑flow stream and a PE of 78.5 that still leaves room for upside as the market re‑prices the PEG of 0.33. The Bull Rankings model gives HUBS a 77.9/100 quality‑growth score, with Growth as its strongest pillar, meaning the compounding engine is real and durable. The thesis hinges on the Marketing Hub’s ability to keep expanding its customer base while the stock trades well below the implied 4% FCF‑growth DCF, offering a clear upside catalyst.
Moat
HubSpot’s integrated CRM platform locks customers into a unified stack of Marketing, Sales, Service and Content Hubs, creating high switching costs because data and workflows reside in a single cloud environment. The platform’s 8.9% ROE reflects pricing power derived from its category leadership in inbound marketing automation, which competitors can’t replicate without costly integrations.
Risk
The stock’s 78.5 PE and 4.3% profit margin signal that investors are paying a premium for growth that may be hard to sustain; a slowdown in the 21.1% revenue growth rate would force the valuation to compress. A rise in the debt‑to‑equity ratio above the current 0.14 or a beta of 1.17 amplifying market volatility could trigger a sell‑off, confirming the bear case if the 52‑week high of $525.51 remains out of reach.
Horizon
1-3 yr $242.61 (31-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $355.20 at ~8% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $526.92 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect HUBS to earn is materially higher (+6.1%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

HubSpot, Inc. (HUBS): score, valuation & FAQ

HubSpot, Inc. (HUBS) is a Software - Application company that scores 75 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are PEG (A), Rev (A-) and D/E (B+). On valuation, HUBS sits about 25% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is HUBS a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores HUBS 75 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by PEG (A), Rev (A-) and D/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of HubSpot, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does HUBS score 75 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). HUBS earns its highest marks on PEG (A), Rev (A-) and D/E (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is HUBS overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $240.01, HUBS sits about 25% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly 7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 85.4x P/E (graded C). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in HUBS?

The stock’s 78.5 PE and 4.3% profit margin signal that investors are paying a premium for growth that may be hard to sustain; a slowdown in the 21.1% revenue growth rate would force the valuation to compress. A rise in the debt‑to‑equity ratio above the current 0.14 or a beta of 1.17 amplifying market volatility could trigger a sell‑off, confirming the bear case if the 52‑week high of $525.51 remains out of reach.
